Title: Omega face lift keys
Post by: Ian Hall on 24 February 2010, 12:14:42

I only have one key with my car. It is the 3 button type and that is a bit iffy sometimes. I note there are repair services on e Bay for about £10 does anyone have any advise?
Also how can I obtain a second complete key. Thanks in anticipation. IAN

You can`t.  Carpass contains all info needed to program new fob & key transponder. Available only from main dealer.

Take your V5 to a dealer, costs anything from £15-£50 depending on dealer

And beware - there are 3 different types of 3 button remote and they aren't compatible with each other.

Someone was saying they aren't that expensive new from a main dealer - as long as you just buy the remote and not the programming service!

Then send the old one to Martin Imber (a member here) for new buttons. :y

CAR PASS COSTS £23.50 FROM MY LOCAL VAUXHALL IN WREXHAM ;)

Thanks Kevin. Dealer cost for Car pass quoted at £23 and new key £50 but they then want another £50 for programming. Is there a cheaper way of programming?

£35 for remote part from dealer.  £10-£12 for key blank with transponder.

http://theboy.omegaowners.com for an idea of what I would class as sensible programming costs.

Carpass needed.

Hi. Have now obtained the car pass from VX at £28 including VAT. This is daylight robbery for information they hold on my car. It is like being punished for losing it!! Thanks to everyone for the help. Ian

Still struggling with this one. I have bought a 3 button fob off ebay but it does not work. On stripping my fob it is a Megamos T-AM 433.93 and the one I bought was a Dephi. In the frequently asked questions section where 3 button keys are covered it says that any car with a factory fitted alam will have the Kiekert fab. My CD has an alarm fitted but the original key, that works is the Megamos. I am confused. I am struggling to get a second hand one that works. VX want £80 for a remote with alarm!!!!  Also I am told that you can self program the remote by turning on the ignition and pressing the button. Is this correct? Thanks

Hi Ian, I have a 2002 2.2i, with F/F alarm & immobiliser and my fob is the 3 button Megamos T/AM. I believe the 'howto' in the Maintenance section may have been mixed up, or refers to 6 cyl cars, not sure really :-/ What I do know is that you need another Megamos T/AM fob mate. Perhaps you could sell the 'wrong' one back on e-bay? HTH :y

Hi again Ian, I have a piece of kit bought off e-bay which we are not allowed to talk about on here, but that is what I used to programme mine, it does the same thing (in this particular respect) that the Tech 2 does. So in short...yes it needs programming.  :(
