Title: New Keys & Programming
Post by: grifter on 06 August 2021, 14:29:10
I'm looking for new keys fob with the little ECU in it as I'm getting sick of these keys buttons not working, one I just had soldered a few months ago has went already.

I was looking at this:

https://www.ecutool.com/products/omega-remote-transmitter-43392mhz-3-buttons-24424728

I know a garage here local who has tech 2 so is it a case of buying the above then getting them to tech 2 it?

Thanks

Andrew

No, and those might be fine. But I'm a cynical old bugger.

2 types of 3 button ones used on facelift saloons, and they are not interchangeable.

Last one I bought from the dealer was only about £25 by the time VAT was added, though that was pre Pug days.

The cheap fob cases have hard buttons, which means you end up pressing it harder, and it wrecks the switches - another reason I always bought new GM fobs.

Thanks, maybe try the stealership, hopefully they've got some left after the pug clearout.
