You will probably need a paper clip uunwound so it's straight to take the barrel out. You will see the hole once the steering column cover is off.paper clip will push through usually just before the ignition comes on, you will feel the position when you hit it.
you have to tick the box for the newer version then it works
did it on a mates turboyes put the key in the barrel and turn to acc then on the other end where the plug is theres a hole with a tab push the tab and the plug comes off and the barrel will slide out the column you can then slide the immo ring off to
most people dont know this and end up braking the tabs on the immo ring like vx did with mine the other problem is if you dont put the key to acc you snap the tab in the barrel and the ball bearing drops out then it wont stay in and have to have a self tapper fitted to hold it in

That would be cool I'm meant to be working Saturday but if it's raining I won't be able to as I'll be 20ft high with a 3m long hedgecutter lol
Probably when the people did the engine change, they didnt have opcom or whatever to code the original immo ring and key to the donor ecu, hence why they left it connected out of view.
probably didnt have the security code from the donor z22se either.

I had an old version of the software a while ago which caused this. It also wouldn't re-program old transponder keys for a Vectra C or Signum (I think they are a different key without the small chip). The newer software version I have works like a charm though.
The software I have for my opcom also has an ECU Reset option in the Special Functions of the Engine diagnostics page. I think the older version required you to connect to the immobilizer to reset the ECU.

Do you know if the traction control is wired up? Maybe the z22se ecu is only connected to the engine and immobilizer to allow the engine to run. The original ecu might still be wired up somewhere to keep the alarm/central locking or something else working.

Im breaking a 2.2 Astra at the moment for spare bits. I've already taken most of the engine loom for spare connectors for my supercharger conversion, if i ever get round to it!Nice one I thought against it tonight as it's p**sing down and if something goes wrong I can't get to work tomoz but I'm going to take a look at this at the weekend if I can sort this I just need a dash loom then all problems are solved and I can actually start improving things
I think the dash loom should be all in tact. You can have it for a few quid if you like?
