The remote key shell is practically identical for various vehicles from the Opel manufacturer. In particular, the remote shown in this video is used for the Zafira, Astra, Omega, and other similar models.

If you own one of these cars whose remote has worn out, you can replace the shell and the battery by following the instructions in the video. Start by unscrewing the small screw on the back, then open the casing and disassemble the various components of the original remote to extract the circuit board, which you will transfer into the new remote.
