Hi

I have a 1999 Vectra, and the manual states that you have 3 minutes to insert a new battery once the old one is removed, failing that the system needs 'synchronising'. To Synchronize, follow these steps:

1) switch on ignition, system will be in sync. mode for 30 seconds
2) briefly press any button on the remote, with key in ignition.
3) central locking system locks and unlocks to show sync is complete.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Cyrill666

That's absolutely right, and a big benefit of the Vauxhall is the easy remote synchronising.

Just as well as my experience with the Vectra is that the unit loses coding in about 3 seconds never mind 3 minutes!

Regards
