My car (omega b 2.5 tdi 1994 model) stopped receiving commands from the IR key fob, i have controlled the fob and it's sending an IR burst every time pressed and a series when held (command to close the windows) Also i have replaced and tested the IR receiver. and tried the reset...ign on, key up aginst the ir receiver and press ...nothing happens, No interior light flashes and no start!
I am getting the car towed home tomorrow, If i replace the main cpu ( i have a spare) will the spare only work with it's keyfob or will it accept my key fob by doing the reset procedure.  or is there another procedure for initialing a new or replacement cpu?  Hers hoping some one can come up with some useful info    colin

would need to be put on a tec2 sounds like a fault with imbobiliser, have you checked the fuse box fuses, plus you have to split key and fob and turn key to 2 on ingishion and press fob then turn off remove key, lock doors then try fob to open doors somtimes works.

I suspect that a 1994 would only talk to a Tech 1 and it'll be an infra red separate fob.

Doubt it, Mate...
 

...sounds like a fault with imbobiliser...plus you have to split key and fob and turn key to 2 on ingishion and press fob then turn off remove key, lock doors then try fob to open doors somtimes works.

I'm reading it as a fault with the central locking, although he does mention "getting the car towed home"??
Also should be a separate key and fob on a '94 Omega.
Good point on checking the fuses, he should also check the wiring too.

If i replace the main cpu ( i have a spare) will the spare only work with it's keyfob or will it accept my key fob by doing the reset procedure.  or is there another procedure for initialing a new or replacement cpu?  Hers hoping some one can come up with some useful info    colin

Are you on about the central locking e.c.u. located near the inner sill cover?

It is coded to the key fob, the 'reset procedure' is just for re-synchronizing already paired fob's...

I have the one pictured above knocking around if you need another spare.

HI I had the car towed home ( Jesus the steering is heavy without the engine running) anyway we tried replacine the infra red fob with a spare from my old car i broke up, matching it with the old cpu and the old key code box behind the glovebox, and i also trie the other ir receiver in the roof. nothing worked, ign on and holding the fob up to the sensor and pressing the fob. zilch ... only once when the battery was almost flat did the warning red led on the allarm button on the dash flashed did the engine try and start but the battery was out, so we recharged the battery and tried again but to no avail. something seems to be telling the car not to re-mobilize i must admit im baffeled. all fused have been checked and the battery disconnected twice and all elements replaced with the spare set cpu under bonnet, comande box behind glove box, ir receiver, and keyfob. ( batterys new)

Why the separate fob? My 1994 Omega had the infra red remote built into the key and a clear dome next to the interior mirror that I had to aim the key at.
