autolock Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 That would be a vectra c. Did you use a genuine 3 button flip key? There are a couple of ways to deal with it but the easiest for you I think is to make sure you have a genuine 3 button key I think it will be Delphi for the vectra c and the 3 button key will also do the 2 button ones 3d group and north west keys keep them these don't cause any real problems ,that's as long as it is a straight forward lost key scenario and not a vehicle with further issues.

grahamparker Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Vectra C is an ID46 chip not t12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autolock Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Get the right key and you will be fine,the original old vectra c key that fitted into hu43 horseshoe type blade with 3 buttons was replaced by the 3 button flip key. I have some vectra c lock sets here if anyone interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Davis Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The chip is already on the board inside this remote, no need to put a chip in the horse shoe, check the remote with your cloner, it should read as a 46, if it does go back and have another go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly12345 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 the actual remote from nw keys did not detect a transponder so I added one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidlocks Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 thats the wrong 3 button remote for vectra c , that was for some vectra b and omega , the vectra c uses as has been said an id46 chip integrated to the remote circuit board . you cannot use a seperate chip and remote . buy the correct key amd you will be fine.

When ordering one, give NW keys or 3D the reg and the VIN of the car if in doubt, and they will send you the correct parts. Only the flip key is a 46, not the fixed blade horse shoe.

When the vectra c 1st came out it had fixed blade horseshoe key with 3 button ,there was never a chip in it as it was part of the circuit board in the remote,these 3 button remotes then became unavailable so we're replaced with the flick type key which came in a z series blade or hu43 blade there is a 2 button version and a 3 button version. But the 3 button will do for both. And you can just swap blades over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionman Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I had a Vectra C a couple of years ago. Came with old style fixed blade remote & i can confirm it 100% didn't have a separate transponder like in the Vec B remotes. It's on the PCB. It only came with 1 key so i bought a 3 button flip from 3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
completelocks Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I stand corrected guys. As they are no longer available I have never had to open one, I just quote for a new flip type. Live and learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
