Title: Infrared remote key Omega immobilised locked on
Post by: Bobinalong on 09 November 2014, 21:56:07
Hi all, I have an old 1994 Omega which has the central locking and immobiliser operated by a single infra red remote key. (There is no transponder chip in this system)The key body is worn and I usually had to take the circuit board out to operate the main button and the micro-switch simultaneously. I have tried to get an infrared spare key made but they are obsolete and not available through the locksmiths I have tried. As was inevitable the immobiliser has now locked on and although the remote seems to be working (the remote's LED comes on when the button/switch are pressed) The alarm/ immobiliser button on the dash has the red LED continuously on. I am keen to get the car mobile but I am unsure if it needs resynchronising, a new key or if the factory immobiliser can be disconnected or made to work with an aftermarket alarm. All contributions are greatly welcomed.

Update. Sorted. Thanks to Darth Loo-knee from a post in 2007. Followed the resync procedure for the old infra red remote and it worked. To say I am pleased is ........obvious.

Nice one :y

Just goes to show that it's well worth having a proper rummage through the dusty cupboard :D
