How Do Everyone,

Just picked up my 3rd Omega ( 2.2 Auto CD ) yesterday. Well pleased with it.
However, the key is all doshed in where you press to open/close etc.
How does one go about obtaining a new key? Thats presuming you can.
How much are we looking at?

Cheers

Andy

Hi and welcome Andy.

This is quite easy. What you need is something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Omega-Vectra-Astra-Remote-Key-Fob-3-Button_W0QQitemZ230083718457QQihZ013QQcategoryZ10404QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
 (depending on whether you have 2 or 3 button model).

Just use that as a donor. The main body comes apart from the key.You just need the casing.
Open the main body (carefully). Swap over casing and you are done.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Is there another way other than ebay? Any independant dealer services
or web sites??

Why  :question  I would think only other source for new fobs would be Vx

A replacement fob would mean programming to car via Tech2. So, not only do you have fob costs, but Tech2 charges, and buying a carpass if you do not own one...

Last time I checked at Vx, they will now only supply the modern type which has the flip-out key blade. So supply and coding of that works out to about £100, as opposed to a replacement casing which would probably cost £10-15 tops ...

Nip to your local scrappy, show them your key, explain that you only need the casing,  a few beers me thinks!

That's what I did !

When I got my spare key from VX (some time ago now), it was around £80 (programmed and ready to go) which was made up from ~£35 for the fob and ~£45 for the key itself. The new 'integrated' fob is still actually separate to the key - it simply slides onto it...  so at the time they could be bought separately even if it was the 'new' type.

I used North West Key services in Liverpool.
Supplied a new three button fob and programed it to my car took about 10 minutes

Cost £45.    Needed the "carpass" for programming

Must be something similar were you are          try Yellow Pages for auto locksmiths

Thanks for all the replies.

I think I shall try the scrap yards first.
