How to: Cruise Control (DBW cars only)

What id a DBW car ??

Drive By Wire ie no throttle cable, a throttle position switch on the pedal & on the throttle butterfly

Where is my alarm and where can I find the codes to get a new remote fob made ??

Thanks

No idea where the actual alarm is but new fobs are done via a proper TechII.

Thanks, does anyone have a Tech 2 in my area ?? and know where I can get a remote fob to code ?? I dont think my car has an alarm, just the immob ......... I think

Any clues on how to confirm ??

Cheers

PS Im work in the basingstoke area and live in telford area

Have you got the button to turn off the interior ultra sonics (top of B posts) with the picture of a man running away from 3 curved lines?

[Chalkysuper7]

That would be a no !!! So its only an immobiliser then, som can i get a remote fob coded from the chip in my standard key ?

If so where can I get the nessesary bits please


Cheers

I thought all Omegas had alarms  :-/ Easy way to test.....leave a window open and lock it...........then try sticking yer arm thro the open window......loud noise goes off then yes you do  

Your 2.5 isnt DBW (only 2.2/2.6/3.2 are) so its a bit harder to install cruise but can be done

Reflection should have alarm and immobiliser as standard, mine did.

You do have a key with the buttons for the remote don't you?

The "powersounder" alarm is fitted drivers side bulkhead, you will need to remove the wiper arms, then the plastic scuttle to see it. The 'powersounder' has a inbuilt rechargeable battery which after a few years stops recharging but sets of the alarm intermittently to warn you it not "feeling very well", so most people just disconnect the wires, the alarm/imoblizer still works but "without noise.
For your key, sorry "main dealer only".
Facelift Omega's have DBW, my '98 Elite is cable.
Good luck

Not quite!   3.2 2.6 & 2.2 petrol (presume the 2.2 diseasal is too) facelift are DBW. I suppose you could say that MOST face lift are DBW!

1998 models should have integrated remote fob - are you saying yours is just a normal key?  Is the last letter of VIN a W (1998 model) or V (1997 model)?

Its a W, and i think im just missing the key, was only given the one normal key when I bought the car, Where do I go from here then to get a new remote fob ??

I was contemplating buying a new Remote ECU with keys, theres a few for sale on Flebay..
