http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90516.0

Early facelifts had to have key removed to pop boot.

Mine is also a 2000 year with mod, never had a problem

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

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

Later ones had it fixed with pressing and holding  :y

Have you ever had a key reprogrammed with the alarm triggered?

Cheers mine is like that - bit of a pain having to remove the key if you are opening the boot for a passenger

There are a fair few different ATWS ECUs fitted to facelifts, not just the 2 (early/late) we assume.

Wonder if it only affects some types  :-\

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.
Did we do that? Can't remember  :-[

I remember you scrabbling around for the carpass, and I remember soldering in some switches into one of your fobs (don't ask me which car).

Its that Albs bloke, he's infected me with Albshiemers ;D

I know you have the boot mod, with that annoying interior light problem (thats really annoying).

I was asking if we did the key, as I really can't recall doing it  :-[


Did I mention the boot mod is *really* annoying?

Yeah we did a key, few weeks before I went to Austria. Done on the road outside Tunnie Towers, think your rusty bullet was in  our garage for some reason? Think we decided to loose some sockets in your engine  ;D ;D ;D

Don't really interior light issue, what does really annoy me is the 3.2's tapping  ::)

I refrained from doing the boot mod on mine because of the interior light side effect. Is there a way around it?

Yes

Is it as easy as the mod itself?

There is more than one way to do it. I'll post up options when I can see through the snot fest
