remote locking
« on: 27 June 2009, 00:09:24 »
I've got a '97 gls with the 2 button type fob that doesn't work. Would it be possible to swap some stuff over from my '99 estate that i'm breaking and use the newer style key integrated fob from that? if so which parts need to be swapped over? any advice would be much appreciated!  :y

yes.

Do you have key programming capability, as it will make a difference to what you need to swap

Hmmm, makes it harder.

Old transponders from old keys need to go in new keys. Need to swap the Alarm ECU over, though I'm not sure if they changed between 97 and 99

At the risk of sounding a bit thick, which part of the key is the transponder?  :-[

If that's the case, what about you getting one of them sexy flip keys that brand-new Vauxhalls have? Them ones where the key comes out like a flick knife!?

Imagine the shocked faces in the car park when I get out my newer-style key, and out flicks a real knife? Oh how they run, ha-harr!!  [smiley=evil.gif]
