Opel tech 2

smilgy

Anyone know anyone with tech2 who can activate cruise control for me on an astra h ?

one of the lads on blitzandgriffin.com did it for me. if you join it and ask there you might have some luck. have you everything else done like finding the wiring behind the clocks and installing the clutch switch etc?

No yet im just looking around too see if I can get it done. All i need to do is fit the stalk and enable it in the ecu. My astra is a diesel so it already has the clutch switch. How much did he charge you ?

Ardennes1944

lucky! mine was a bit of work! he did it for gratis cos i kinda knew him. im in cork though i dont know where you be

smilgy

Yeah, no point in going ahead tho if I can't find someone to do it and I'm sure a dealer would charge a fair few bob. Im in Enfield, Co. Meath but there might be someone around..

im sure there is a guy from dublin who has it. you can buy op com yourself for about 30quid and use an online guide. i was there with the guy who did mine, its not hard.

That's what I'm planning on doing. Thanks !

Ardennes1944

no worries. just remember the car has to be above a certain speed and rpm for the CC to kick in, just in case you're tearing your hair out!

smilgy

Haha alright ;D

Lucifer

Im in south dublin and can do it. You need to have the security code for the car.

Ardennes1944

which should be in your manual in your glovebox

smilgy

I have all the manuals but when i bought the car, i dont think it came with a car pass with all the codes

Ardennes1944

double check cos mine was stuck in a random page. they can be a balls to get but Lucifer may be able to help you

smilgy

Looking through the service booklet theres a handwritten key which consists of a letter and tehn 4 digits, is that it ?

Lucifer

That's your key code. Not the same thing. If your stuck I should be able to get it for you.

Lucifer....always assisting us Opel chaps

Vaux-com is also able to activate CC on these.

Nforce

Yeah..I have OP-COM and I believe it'll do this too,though you'll need the car pass.

smilgy

It also has "sec ****" could that be it? they're the only handwritten things in it, i don't have the car pass card.

Nforce

I don't have my car pass either. Maybe if Lucifer is feeling particularly generous??...

Lucifer

Yes the code after sec will be it. Pm me your regs and ill try get them.

smilgy

Thanks. Know how much the stalk would be ?

Lucifer

I'll get you a price tomorrow.

Ardennes1944

theres loads on ebay. mine cost me €22, looks like theyre a bit more now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASTRA-H-ZAFIRA-B-CRUISE-CONTROL-STALK-/220901419154?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336ec02892#ht_500wt_1156

*OLD THREAD ALERT*

I've been searching my manual for the car pass, but can't find anything.

The only four digit code I can find is on the receipt from the non-Opel dealer I bought it from. It's down as Manufacturer Code. Underneath it, Key Code and Radio Code are blank.

Is there any chance that the non-Opel dealer would have had it?

Hello.
I have an 2005 Astra Estate CDTi.
I installed foglights like in this guide http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/showthread.php/519968-Fog-Lights-(all-you-need-to-know)
but I need them enabled on the ECU.
I also bought clocks with blue LEDS. Could they be programmed in to my car?
I also broke my LCD display for my radio.
Its the small type with the 2 buttons.
Can I pair up a replacement from a scrapyard or would it be easier to get a new radio and display?
