Not being very well up on the Omega ones, and I hope that others will correct me, but I would have thought you would need the following

ECU

Transponder aerial that goes near steering lock

Transponder key chip for key itself

Some form of Code number so that Tech2 can communicate with the ECU, presuming that the original car pass number is now defunct

I would imagine that there will be an element of programming involved ?

In that case the 3 should work together if transferred onto another car - assuming the car was the same config (automatic / manual gearbox, etc).

Yes it's an auto with auto ecu which is 428 so I would have thought all three would work but wasn't sure where the transponder went but when it comes I'll try it all out!!

Agreed, although I don't think the gearbox/spec level is going to upset the mix.
