If you put the key in the ignition the transducer in the key will deactivate the imobiliser (if its got one).

the car has a "NON-factory" vauxhall alarm-which has no immobilser!!!
and deadlocks which turns on the "factory standard" alarm AND (i think) the immobilser!
ok so....... does anybody know if the Corsa B gsi 1994 came with a factory immobiliser???
and how does the factory-Deadlocks alarm work exactly?
just deadlocks the doors/boot and sounds alarm if the doors/boot/bonnet are opened without the deadlocks deactivated??

I think alarms and immobilisers are seperate, crack open the key if possible, and if it has a small black chip in it, this is for the immobiliser.

the immobiliser usually only kicks in after about 30 secs or so - leave it for a minute or 2 first.

quickest way to do it is to pop the column shroud apart. if you have a black box around the key barrel then it has an immobilser. if you have a grey clip then it doesn't
the Immobiliser is easily added. you need a transponder style key and the transponder unit. from there make a trip to your local dealer and get it programmed in.

the alarm and deadlocks are set once the red LED on the hazard switch is flashing on and of at a slow constant pace so if it has a immobiliser it should be working then too?
but u mite be right mate, il give it few mins to set n then try again
