Is CR2032 battery suitable for facelift keys (3 button) ?

Indeed it is Tunnie, some going cheap in the shop at the moment

Yes just changed mine, they're the same as the new Astra hire car I had last week.

Most fobs use CR2032s.

Not very impressed with the Omega fob, the range is apalling. I put a new battery in and the range improves to the point where I don't have to be standing next to the drivers door for about a week....... then it's back to that sort of range.
Would say the fob is faulty but the spare is exactly the same. :'(

Don't knock it. A colleague of mine used to have a Jag S-type and the fob had about 1/2 a mile range. He was forever coming out of the office to find the boot had been open in the rain cos he'd bent over with the keys in his pocket at some point during the day. ;D

I've got a really good fob on tractor. So much so, that I'm going to program to MV6 if/when that car ever gets back on the road.

Why do you need to open it so far away? mine works 2/3 cars way as i walk up to it. X plate facelift, never changed the battery so far.
Its ok for me :)

When you put a new battery in the fob you can stand about 6ft away, after a week you need to be standing next to the drivers door..... really good if all you want to do is open the boot.

Faulty fob?
As i said, mine works about 3 cars way in the station car park, so about 12-15 feet away.
I often pop the boot as i walk up to it...

That's what I thought, however the spare is the same. Might get a third fob (I have the horseshoe/blade and immobiliser chip already) from VX and get TB to program it. ::)

Problems with the range of your key - no problem! Just use the Jeremy Clarkson method of holding the key fob to your scull while you press to get the skeletal frame to increase the range!
Not sure how many of you saw that Top gear episode a couple of years ago, but next day there were people all over the place trying it. It wasn't April 1st, and I'm still not convinced it doesn't work (double negative there to get your brain working this morning).

It does work - your head acts as a cavity for it. No comments about empty cavitys please.
