IR Remotes still available / re-programming etc
« on: 13 March 2010, 15:34:39 »
Currently driving an early 1995 Omega CDX - existing seperate remote IR device is knackered.  Can these still be obtained from VX Dealer and how can they be re-programmed?

Thanks

I'm not the expert but both mine and the other half's cars have these. I got a new old stock one of Ebay but apparently they have to be programmed by someone with a Tech 1 not Tech2 'cos Tech 2 won't do it. I'm sure one of the other guys will confirm or elaborate on this but that's how I understand it. My existing remote won't work unless you more or less wave it in the drivers door window whereas the wife's remote works from about 10 feet away!!

There are 2 types of security fitted. 1 just an immobiliser; 1 immobiliser and alarm. The former has no code the latter needs a code. A main dealer can send away for it but they will charge.

From memory a new IR key can be bought for £40 - £60 from a dealer. It can be programmed using a tech 2. You just plug it in and then point it at the roof as if you were resynching.

Cannot remember who did mine. Aylesbury autolocks? Remember a lot of people talked a lot of rubbish until I found the guy and in the end he was here about 3 minutes coding the key.

For all IR cars, Tech2 will *NOT* be able to program keys.

Would have to check, but would have thought all IRs would need a code, regardless of alarm or not  :-/.  Not got a Tech1 to play with though.

Tech2 can do all non-IR cars, all of which need a code regardless of alarm or not.

I really wouldn't trust that to do any programming - seen the results of "My Naff Code Reader"s attempts to program fobs to alarms, and pair radios to displays.  Mind you, I'm getting a better-than-50% success rate at recovering from "My Naff Code Reader"'s corruptions...

If you're a bit cunning you can actually transplant the chip that holds the code from a non-working/poorly working IR remote into A.N. Other.

See here: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1255721218

Happy to have a go at this for any members with this problem, no gaurantees obviously, as parts could be damaged during the transplant surgery.
