Hi all. need a little help
I have a vauxhall Omega 2.2 petrol Automatic, when I purchased the car I was only given one key, this key is a standard laser cut key without the remote buttons, and has a built in transponder.
I am looking to get a new key with remote buttons, but i am really confused whether or not my car came with a three button remote or a two button, can anyone advise where it would make any difference, i know the third button opens the boot, but if i was to get a two button remote would it still work if it had all the electrical bits in it, i am aware that i would need to get someone to programme it to the vehicle for it to work, its just that vauxhalls want £170 which I believe is ridiculous, I have my car pass with all the codes.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Kindest Regards

If you get a horse shoe blade like this NB the ref re 105 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CALIBRA-OMEGA-SIGNUM-SINTRA-VECTRA-ZAFIRA-KEY-/190524783126?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item2c5c297a16#ht_2206wt_952) cut from the key code from your 'Car Pass' (can be obtained from Vauxhall £20/£50 depending on your dealer) Contact one of the breakers here for a suitable fob, then turn up at a major meet (bring your Car Pass with you) talk 'dangle berries' for the day with other members and get it coded via one of The Boy's Tech IIs (obviously check first that one will be there before you turn up :y :y)

Thanks for the info
I have already ordered for the key to be cut (horse shoe 105 with transponder), could you direct me to anyone who can programme or even sell me a three button remote?
Regards

For a Saloon you should have 3 buttons, for programming, you can either visit TheBoy (Jc9 M40) or KevinWood near Alton, Hampshire. :y

I wouldn't be surprised if it was nearly that each at Vauxhall. I forked out £190 for a spare for her Smart & I've just been quoted £170 all in for a spare for my daughter's Fiat (It ain't getting one though)

Its insane what garages charge for these things, yet another thing putting me off newer cars. Yes they use less fuel, but things like keys, service ect costs so much.
£5 quid key off fleabay, 15 quid to TheBoy or KevinWood for a code up? Worst case chuck in a car pass @ around £30/40, should be £60 at complete tops really.
Full key here, less than a fiver delivered:

But not everyone knows a Kevin or Jamie with a TechII. Besides, the likes of MB & Fiat have got round the code that Vauxhall gives you on a car pass, they charge you £30/£50 for contacting MB/Fiat for the code .......... & there's no way round that. Even if you have a Merc Star machine (MB's Tech II) of you own, you'd still have to contact MB for a 'TAN' code (it seems that Fiat is similar)
All in all they have you by the danglies! >:( >:(
