Title: Alarm problem 94 omega tech2 or tech1?
Post by: MonzaGSE on 19 January 2013, 21:34:42

Hi i live in norway and have a 94 Opel omega mv6 estate. Got a problem with the alarm. It works but the interior sensors does not. Also the little red light flashes rapidly the first ten seconds when armed. Which according to the handbook means a system failure. It should stay on steadily for ten seconds before flashing slowly as normal. The local Opel dealer used their tech2 and they could go through all the cars systems except the alarm. The tech2 just stopped when they tried entering the alarm. After reading theBoy's site i suspect the ir alarm on the 94 model requires a tech1? Is this so? And do the local dealers still have tech1? Any input will be appreciated:)

Indeed, if the Alarm/Central locking uses Infra Red (small dome on bottom of mirror), it needs a Tech1 or Tech1a. A Tech2 canot read these.

Certainly in the UK, Omega models in 1994 and 1995 were Infrared.

Thanks.  94 and 95 are infrared here too. Have to aim the fob quite accurately at the dome in the roof:) thanks for the help. Will call Opel tomorrow and check if they still got tech1:)
