Hi all!

Is there any good solutions to get inside the car without a key, code and smashing any windows? I have an Omega B 1994 and the remote control is an IR. I belive that an quite serious thunder storm locked my car because i never lock my car at home. Well... before the storm it was open, after the storm i found the car locked with the key <at its normal place> in the consol between the seats .

Is it possible to try the old trix with an thin iron bar between the window and the door panel? I guess then i have to get a "grip" on the small rod between lock servo and the lock itselves. Any point of wiew here?

Is the boot/trunk still unlocked ? 

[framsdal]

its an caravan, and yes all car is firmly locked...

The car can not be deadlocked, so you should be able to lift the button with a strip of plastic, the type used for binding parcels.

if it comes to it smash a door window  easier to replace

Sorry you lost me here... can you please describe a little, do you mean incerting plastic strip between the door panel and window  from the outside... or?

You should be able to slip a doubled up strip of plastic, between the door and the "B" post, you can then manoeuvre it towards the button, by pushing one piece and holding the other steady, you can loop the tape over the button. Then you pull on both and the button pops up. Difficult to explain, but when you try it, you will see how easy it is.

You could try with a strip of a plastic bottle, make it about 18 inches long.

Thanks a lot! I can not wait until tomorrow to try your tip

The 'plastic strip' method is difficult on the Omega as there is no lip on the upper edge of the button for the strip to catch on. You could try something like thin bare wire that may cut into the plastic to enable the wire to have enough hold to pull up the button.
Another option would be using the same wire but a longer length to hook onto the chrome door pull lever. This worked for me with a Mercedes SLK. Wasn't exactly a 'Gone In 60 Seconds' job, but it worked.

I agree, the button is not the easiest to grip, but I have got into Omegas using this method. See this footage to understand how it's done.:-

Incedently, for wire long enough for the job I used the stuff used for MIG welding. Thin enough to get in easily, yet strong enough to hold horizontaly to enable you to manouver it around the door lever or lock button.
If trying the chromed door opener lever, have someone at the passenger window guiding you as you may be able to see the lever yourself.

Hm! I understand what you are saying. But is there any experience here with the "car thief from film trix", Thin iron bar with an hook to jerk the rods inside the door, beteween the door pull lever and the lock?

anyway thank a lot for the ideas.

The metal strip trick, is used by "experts", they have the perfect tools and practice for a long time. I have never seen it done successfully. I have done the plastic strip method more than once.

Forget my suggestion of trying the chromed door opener lever, it doesn't work on the Omega. I've just checked mine and the chromed lever is disengadged when the button is down.
Obviously the security system on the Mercedes SLK (circa 2004) is not as advanced as the Vauxhall Omega system from 1994 onwards.
