98 'S' Elite... Not too sure which fob I need?!?!
The one which came with the car resembles this one...
(http://i20.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/b3/25/408c_1.JPG)
BUT I'm sure I remember reading there are 2 types of RF fob for the pre-facelift, and that the later 'mini' facelifts need this one??
(http://i16.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/b6/ff/c1df_1.JPG)
Now I know my old 98 'R' Omega had the fob with the square buttons, and was a mini facelift. It also had one which was the rounder buttons like the one I have now, which vaux said couldnt be coded to the car...
So which one do I get hold of??
-
Look on the rear and see if you cn read the word Megamos, even better, pop the lid off and read the make from the PCB inside.
-
One I have does have MEGAMOS printed on the PCB, aswell as:
70505002009
M-AM 433.92MHz
So this one should code up ok then??
-
Any Megamos one can be programed up.....

My 1999 Elite has the same one as your first pic.
-
Same here, 1st pic.

Mine has both! The top one is original, same as my 99 Astra, but there was only one key with the car to start with but got the supplying dealer to get another key as part of the deadl - hence the newer type too.

Hi
Also got 1998 Elite & key with car as top picture. Have fob square buttons like 2nd picture - synced this and it locks/unlocks car. Now got new horseshoe blade for this fob - to be cut and transponder set up for my car (Tech2 job).
Both types of fob seem to work ok - both are Megamos
Hope this helps!
-
My MV6 has both of those types, and a seperate fob type (that I give to passengers if we go out anywhere).... ...all Megamos
-
Hi,i have the second type,but i have only one of them :(
I phoned my local VX dealer,and they wanted about 125 quid to give me a spare!
FM! :o
Anyone know a cheaper way??
-
Yes, buy the remote and transponder from ebay, check th make of your existing one so you can match the make up. Remember that you CANT tell the make from the shape of teh key.
Then get a blade cut and the transponder and remote programmed to the car using tech 2.....
-
The 1st fob is the same as on my previous 1999 3.0 elite the 2nd fob is the same as my 2000 3.0 elite,both are megamose,if any one needs a spare i have a spare fob (1st pic type, which i could not find for the guy who bought my 1999 elite),£2 for p+P, moderators/ Administrators
if i have posted this reply in the wrong section please move.
