This guide explains how to re-synchronise an existing Vauxhall remote control key fob with your car, saving you the money some people charge for this simple information on sites like eBay.
A Crucial Warning About New Keys
If you have purchased a brand-new key for your vehicle, please be aware: you MUST have the key programmed to the car's immobiliser system by a Vauxhall main dealer or specialist. Buying 'programming guides' online will be a complete waste of money, as the key requires specialist diagnostic equipment and software to be linked to the car.
How to Re-synchronise an Existing Fob
This simple procedure re-links a key that may have lost synchronisation (e.g., after changing the battery).
- Switch the ignition ON. Your vehicle will now remain in synchronising mode for 30 seconds.
- With the key still in the ignition, briefly press either the lock or unlock button on the remote control.
- The central locking system will briefly lock, and then unlock. This action confirms that the remote control is now successfully synchronised with your car.
That's all there is to it!
