Warning for Hillpers boot mod.
« on: 08 February 2013, 17:54:48 »
Referring to my other post http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=111637.0;all
Having taken the car to vauxhall after Hotle21's tech2 said "cannot communicate with vehicle" The auto electrician rewired the Boot mod as it was this that was preventing communication with the tech2 when trying to program keys. Completing the central locking circuit. This modification has cost me £70 extra. Hopefully if anybody has the boot mod and needs to program keys, this information will save them some pennies.

How can it be total crap when Hotel21's tech2 gave the same issue. The technician did not know about the boot mod and obviously traced the circuit back and once reconnected the tech2 communicated??

My interior lights stay on for about 10-15 seconds after ignition switched on, or having opened and closed door with ignition on since doing boot mod.

If you're so sure about this, why not explain your reasoning?  Otherwise it just looks rude/dismissive.

I've got hillpers boot mod on the 2.2, cut the wire myself. Had new key programmed via tech2 about a month or so ago, no issues.

Exactly.  :y

Most likey nicked another wire while doing the mod, disturbed something. Another fault was causing communication issue, back in early days this mod was very popular. First time ever heard of an issue with it (other than courtsey light staying on longer)

Mod followed to the letter, no issues in 4 years. It could be that I opened the door with the key instead of the fob, because keys had lost program while the alarm was set. Maybe with this circuit incomplete and the alarm triggered it takes a different route for tech2. I wouldn't right it off as total crap though, when reconnection resolved the issue.
My car is a 2000 if that adds anything.

I think it lets you open the boot with the keys in the ignition?

I never bothered with it, by many find it useful..
