When I got my new IR key for my '94 mig the auto locksmith just plugged in what I assumed to be a tech 2 under my dash and pointed it at the roof and pressed the button. Mine was the CD and had no alarm, just the immobiliser.

I'll try and find the receipt and find out who did it but I think I passed on all paperwork when I sold the car.

Guy was here for literally 5 minutes, max.

Only works with new keys though.

suspect it will work for all keys

tech2 can't do IR, thats Tech1....

[Grrrrrr]

May have been a tech 1. Didn't ask.

Just been through all my old receipts. Nothing. Looks like I gave everything away with my old car.

Cannot find the locksmith. Sure it was Bucks Autolocks or Aylesbury Autolocks, something like that. Even Google has failed. Maybe he's gone bust?

I think these people might have put me on to him:

Aylesbury Lock & Security LtdAddress:[ch8206]
18 Queen Street
Aylesbury, Aylesbury Vale, HP20 1
01582 596248

If it wasn't them then it will have been Reese & Jones in Aylesbury. They specialise in fixing auto electronics. Cannot find them online. I'll dig around and see if I can find a business card ...

Whoops. Rees & Allan!

Unit 20,
Park Street Industrial Estate
Aylesbury
HP20 1EB
01296 483586

Very helpful chaps.

As I said, I don't think it is possible to reprogram the old keys. Just the new ones. I got a couple of old ones off eBay and he tried to reprogram them but failed. Only the new one took.

The Vauxhall dealers were useless. Basically the car was so old none of the people there had ever worked on one. Not many '94 and '95 migs left, I guess.

Feel for the guy. Here's my old thread trying to solve pretty much the same issue:

Blimey here goes, the ir system can only have a maximum of 5 keys coded to it, so if the keys have been replaced or recoded more than 5 you have to wipe or delete the memory, totally, then you can reprogram your old key plus the new ones!!
its a bit frightening when you see erase all on tech 1 but i just figured what the hell press it then it allowed me to reprogram the other 3 keys i had!! before that it just kept saying not possible or unable to accept  or something similar!!

Thats the industrial estate near the canal? Was part of Hazel/Watson/Viney back in the 1980s?

[Grrrrrr]

That's the one. Other side of the canal from HWV (now a Tesco.) You get in opposite the Aquavale swimming pool. They're almost the last unit on the right.
