Omega General Help / Re: Broken Keyfob Help needed

« on: 10 November 2010, 14:46:27 »

Thanks guys.

Its £65 (incl VAT) to get the key programmed from polar aircon.
Thats including callout fee.

Im not complaining but that brings the total price (incl new blank key) back to around £100 which is competing with Vauxhalls service department.

Can anyone think of other alternatives?

Wow thanks for all the replies and welcomes. Lots of options already 


The key part is fine but the circuit board with the buttons on it is totally broken and the case has seen better days.

So its £35 + £20 to program it. Thats A lot more like what I want to spend.   

Im in Manchester so I guess that TheBoy is quite far away.
Anyone close to me I can try?

Sorry. I know that the bloke from Polar Air Con http://www.polar-aircon.co.uk/  has a real Tech II ..... whether he can use it  No idea of his prices I only know he has it cos he's done a/c on my car & I spotted it in his van.

Thanks Ill give him a try.


Any other recommendations?

Hi Guys

Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched but couldnt find anything.

The Keyfob on my X reg Omega CDX (2.5 6 cylinder turbo diesel) has been a bit unreliable recently.
So I gave it to a friend to fix and he broke the little circuit board inside completely 


I understand its over £100 to get a new key from vauhall. Is that my only option? Or is there some way I can replace it for cheaper.

Ive set the alarm on silent so I can still use the car for now but the sidelights still flash. Is there any way I can stop that?

Cheers guys.
Hope someone can help me in my hour of need.
John
