I have just purchased a 53reg Omega and it only came with one key.

Anyone know how much Vauxhall charge for a replacement, or if there is an alternative supplier I could get one from?

If it is gonna be to much then will have to look into getting a second hand one and getting it reprogrammed.  :-/

not sure exact price vx charge but its over a ton once programmed.

I was in exact same position as you when i got my 3.2.
With help on here you should be able to sort one for £60 ish, i guess, brand new. See link for more details. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1241470774

Fob things were second hand from a forum member but in as new condition...blank key with immobiliser was from a well known auction site...key cutting was done at one of those little booth things at the market, she even compensated for the fact the original key would have worn down a bit as it was getting on for the £2!!

I got mine on said market place aswell ... was complete with fob in excellent condition and new transponder and blank blade for round about £25 ... didnt think it would be £10 to cut it for the 2 minutes it took ... Still better than £100+ from Vx though

my local vauxhall dealer quoted me £130 for a 2nd key to my 2000 elite. I didnt bother!!!!!

thread pruned.

Absolutely no discussion of illegally acquiring, distributing, or using counterfeit copyrighted software  . Last warning.

Mmm .... i wonder if every copy of TIS or EPC out there is legally obtained

Discussion on how to get those illegally is also banned.

Discussion on there output, either from a dealers system, or legal copy is fine though.  

[Proz]

I dont recall any discussion on or started by me about  " how to get anything illegally " but then i was on nightshift last night and maybe missed something  

[Jimbob]

iirc you had quoted someone elses 'how to get' and commented in support of the idea.

Asked my local Dealer few weeks ago how much for key.

If I remember correctly;

Key with Transponder chip part about £55
3-button remote / alarm part about £35
Key cutting part of price with transponder chip

They require 'pass card' number, and need to see genuine V5 (log) before they'll get the key blade part done.

Down side to above is the actual cost, upside is you'll get guarantee for 12mths on the parts ?.

Yes there are places to get the parts cheaper, but up to you personally at the end of the day ?.

Hope that helps ?.

We have to protect the forum from any legal action - we simply couldn't afford to fight any litigation.

So we have a rule not to discuss acquiring, distrubuting, and bypassing protection etc on copyrighted material.

When somebody posts up that you get your XYZ device, which the importer charges £600 for, for £40, thats very obviously a rip off copy.  The Admin team have remove such posts.

Obviously, those who have parted with their £600 and wish to discuss its use, thats fine.  For those wishing to discuss how to make their rip off copy work better, there are plenty of other forums, as you very well know , who are prepared to sail closer to the wind than we can afford to.

Does that clarify?


And your post that go nuked was due to a quote that had incriminating text in it.

3 button key off ebay £9 inc p&p.
Programming, plus Blank key cutting £25 complete with new battery.
I was well pleased, Stealers said they could "Probably do it" AND even if they couldn't, they would still charge!!!  I wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway.  
p.s. Programming was done at local key cutting centre, he has a Tech 2, Pukka one with licence.

What's the "correct" name for the facelift 3-button fob ??

Both mine are getting very tatty, and Martin has repaired them more than once, I doubt he can keep doing so indefinetly.

My thoughts are to watch fleabay to try and aquire a couple of good condition ones, fit the existing key-part horseshoe thingy, and get the things re-programmed at Newent.

Any one see a hole in the plan ??
