Vauxhall Omega (Elite 2.5td M reg) - immobiliser / Fob stopped working - Adie1974

Hi i have a vaxhall elite 2.5TD on an M plate

These early immobilser systems with a separate key fob can be by-passed.Probably the most cost effective solution on a car this age.hth

If you want the by-pass option,you will need to locate the immobiliser control unit first.Remove the glove box and the control unit should be located in the plastic frame of the dash.Usally silver aluminium casing about 10 cm square,with a plug in connector on one side.Once you have done this ,I can dig out the info .hth
