In short no. It will require programming with Tech2 or equivalent key programming equipment.
And 2nd hand previously used keys can't be reprogrammed to another car unless the chip is replaced with a virgin one.

Thanks Dave for your info on key programming. My 2nd key flip model from eBay is new and does have electronics and battery and a virgin chip for Vectra C and as new never been programmed.
Cheers, Peter

Be aware of those keys(especially cheap ones coming from PRC) there is a possibility for the remote to not work at all. Long story short: I bought myself one from aliexpres(from a seller recommended by a friend who bought previously perfect fine keys), programming went well, I can start engine and all is fine, except remote for central lock is not working. Everything I tried(synchronisation, various variants/versions) was in vain, no avail. Looks like remote is non-existing or dead.
Anyway good luck with that!

Thanks Bibu, for that extra info that that the remote may not work on cheap flip keys. Well if I ask the shop to program it, it's expensive. I can try and program it myself and hope that the remote will work!
