The infrared remote on girlfriends Omega suddenly died yesterday. Car wouldnt start because of immobilizer. Had to go home to get spare key to get the car to start. The spare key have a bad microswitch but works. The key she has been using have been in good condition before it suddenly died. Changed batteries two times and even took it apart. 6v gets from the batteries to the circuit board inside the remote but nothing happens. The little red light dont light up and car dont react. All solderjoints look Ok to an amateur. Talked to Opel dealer who said these remotes are no longer available. They also said that remote needs to be new. A used remote from a different car cant be reprogrammed. Parts number on defective remote are 90459461 and 90460834. Both are stamped on it.
The question is do anybody know a place to get a new remote, and is it true that a good used one wont work? As i have previously understood the old infrared system requires Tech 1 to programme.
