Feedtheinferno Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just spend the money doing it at the main dealers then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash22 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) err, you can do the locking yourself, the imob chip is a little black thing in the bottom part of the key the top half is just the central locking, done loads of these over the years for all sorts of vx cars and have had 3 corsa's (b,c and a corsa D) edit. you can get a fob from another vauxhall of the same age, what year is the car ?

ratman Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If its a fob that has been programmed to another car then it needs to be reset on the car it was programmed on before it is programmed to ur car. There are probably people who can get round this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash22 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 the buttons are just for the central locking !!!! the passive imobiliser chip is in the bottom of the key in the corner if you can start the car with the key thats not a problem, if it doesnt start you will need to get the key programed to the car at a main stealer or someone with a tech2 if it just the remote locking that isnt working you can reprogram it yourself put a new battery in the fob to rule out and issues, there are a few ways to program the key inc using opcom or tech2 usually its key in the ignition, 2nd pos press and hold the lock/unlock button(s) for 10 seconds then release them, take the key out at try it (when you put the key in you get 20-30 sec to press the buttons if you have a working second key re sync this key first and it should take the second key no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is with the central locking fob as the button to unlock the doors have broken off, so i have bought a used fob from another corsa and tried method a what dazj10 posted but this didn't work, so i have searched the web and found that opcom can reprogram central locking fobs.
