Omega General Help / Re: Infra Red Alarm fault
« on: 13 December 2007, 09:54:10 »
Hi,
I have a M reg Omega 2,5 TD and at the moment, it's alarm is giving me the creeps.
I have a key and a separate remote fob to arm and disarm the car. With mine, I point the fob to the sensor next to the sunroof switch to lock and open the doors before turning the ignition.
The problem recently is that I have to turn the ignition halfway, point the fob to sensor,press the button in the centre and the map lights flash 3 times. Thereafter,by chance the fob will lock and open the doors otherwise I have to play with the batteries to operate the central locking. I've changed the batteries twice since buying the car in April this year from a "lady owner" who neglected the car since she owned it.
Without all this, I can't start the car and sometimes I sit for nearly 1/2 an hour doing this to get the car started. I also have a spare fob and it's red led lights up but it won't operate this alarm.
I've contacted Vauxhall and they say that it's my fob that's the problem. When I explained to them that the spare one won't work, they that they need to program it with the code which cost £35 + an extra £25 to apply for a code if I don't have one.
I there someone who could advise me on how to set up the spare fob?
Thanks
