Try turning on Ignition so dash lights come on, then press lock and unlock on remote fob, whilst key is still in ignition. You should get a plip noise or flash on the indicators... If not then it will have to be recoded on Tech 2 Vauxhalls diagnostic machine
Hope that has helped

Vauxhall Astra Key Programming

Occasionally this can happen to Vauxhall / Opel cars.
The key needs to be 'paired' to the car again. You can do this yourself.
Open the car with the key. Even if it has been deadlocked it WILL open (just VERY stiff). Insert Key into ignition - postion dash 'lights on' and press & hold the OPEN button on the remote. You might get a chirp or a flash (depends on model) / or the locks will lock-unlock.
Hope you get it sorted.

my mate Big Bird has had this problem before ... The batteries have been in so long that the springs compress and lose some tension...This can be cured by taking the battery out and carefully bending the contact s up a little...should work ok

Most likely, the programming for the remote died when you removed the batteries. You may need to reprogram the remote in order for it to communicate with your car. Most dealerships tell you that they charge for doing that, but when you get there find someone that looks friendly in their service department and ask them for help.
You may also find the reprogramming instructions on the Internet.
Good luck!

Get new batteries for your key.If this does not solve the problem contact yoyr nearest Vauxhall dealer urgently. If you contact AA or RAC, they will break into your car for you BUT you will be left with a damaged car which will ahve to go to the dealer for repair anyway.
This problem is uaually just a dead battery

This may sound weird, but I'm not making it up. Try holding the control against the side of your head when you push the button. For some weird reason heads amplify the signal.

Your fob may have de-coded, one possible way to re-code is to switch your ignition key to ACC, and then hold the fob near to the interior light, and then press and hold for 5 secs, it may then re-code...I know it works, I just cannot remember on which make and model!

Most USA GM products you have to remove the Mall,PGM fuse and follow instructions and listen for Start program signal "Bong bong bong" then push the door lock button on one remote then operate the door lock "bong bong bong" and push the button on the second remote.
