Got one of these from egay but a local auto technician was unable to make it work. His tester received a signal but when he came to programme it on the car that particular gizmo (Tech 2 type thing?) couldn't see the signal.
LED works fine and on it it says:
Delphi Type G-AM 433.92 mhz and Part number 24415490.
My original has no legible markings on the outside but inside it also says 433.92mhz but Magamos T-AM. The wife's is also a Delphi.
If the frequencies are the same why wouldn't it work? Is the G-AM important? Have I bought yet another wrong-un?
(Mine is a 2.6 CDX with alarm, both fobs are 3 button.)
Any suggestions welcome.
P.S. Anyone looking for a key man in York, Lloyd at Caboodle in Acomb has been very helpful and patient with me.

Two types of fob - if you open them - do they look different?
They are NOT compatible
What happened to the original?
-
Yes, they do look different inside. I can't see any writing on the circuit board of the one I am trying to programme.
The original stopped working and the LED stayed on solid for a short while before going out. Changed the battery - still no LED.

Won't work then
Original - have the switches gone really gungy and stiff - not actually depressing, this is on the circuit NOT the case.
If so it needs new switches - PM me I repair them

Been there too. I have actually collected 3 different typres of 3 button remotes.
Unfortunately the 2 spares I have are the other 2 (not a T-AM) otherwise you'd have been welcome to them. It's well worth opening them up to check the type because I have come across fobs which have been re-cased meaning the outer markings can't be relied on.
I would see if Martin can resurrect your old one. Failing that, get a replacement from e-bay after confirming it's the right type, and get one of the Tech 2 custodians to pair it with your car.

BTW: What they look like inside:
"Klekkert" Type 5470:

The lock/unlock switches are definitely softer than the boot one which is crisper. From the (excellent) pics the original is definitely a Megamos T-AM.
Repairable?

Cheers. I thought there was only 2 types going by the entry at http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1216833666
but now we know!!
-
Never had a G-AM to repair!
All use similar switches - the Delphi ones are 1/2mm shorter than Megamos.
New switches do work well they gunge inside and insulate themselves.
I have repaired a lot now.

Sounds good - can I PM you to get this one repaired?
-
Yes - £10 all in - post to me recorded delivery and I replace all three switches, check the battery holder, patch up the case if a bit ripped.
I post back recorded as well.
I have two spare cases as new - any money I raise from their sale will be passed back to the forum as they were donated to me.
I normally charge £12 but OOF gets £2 off.
All money goes to maintenance of an Omega - recently paying 1/4 of a load of body panels after a gate redesign and afterwards a HID conversion.
I have done Megamos, Delphi three button, and the two button fobs.

Thanks very much to all for your help.
