OEM Keyless Entry Remote Fits Buick Regal LaCrosse Verano Allure With DIY Programming Instructions (Push Start Button Ignition Models Only)

I bought this as a replacement for one of my fobs that was stolen. This was for a Buick Verano with push button start on the dash. I'm glad I read reviews to make sure I purchased the correct fob. Not all are compatible with push button start so if you have that feature, be sure to order the right fob. I haven't taken it to have the key engraved yet since I still have one of my original fobs and that works to put the car into programming mode for the new fob. The only difficulty I had was determining which button to press when it said press 'start.' Did it mean start on the dash, or the start on the fob for remote start. Also there was some confusion and comments about needing to remove the cup holder liner. Apparently in some Verano models, that was the case, but mine did not require the liner to be removed. Just place the new fob in the cup holder closest to the front button side up and it was usable.

The directions said to put the fob in the cup holder. That does not work! Found a UTube video explaining it needs to be in the center console, there is a little cutout area that the fob fits in perfectly at the bottom. Once I figured that out, all worked well. I had a Buick Lacrosse.

This fob has none of the problems that I have read for other less expensive fobs on this site. I was able to transfer my metal key by removing the roll pin. It was easy with the included instructions to add this fob to my keyless start 2013 Buick Regal.

I like that it has the Buick emblem on it. And, it functions as it should. The programing instructions did not for me. I found these on YouTube - How To Program your Key Fob: 2012 Buick Regal GS with start/stop. The instructions given with the package are not the same as you will see on the YouTube post. The YouTube post worked well. I have a 2012 Buick Lacrosse Touring which might have something to do with it.

It was not clear to me that I could program my Buick LaCrosse with push button start. At first glace all the instructions talked about was programming with keys. However, after looking at them more closely, I determined that push button start was programmed by using the door key. After programming the key fobs, all of the functions were working but the car was not detecting the new, or old, remote for starting the car. After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery both remotes were being detected for push button starting. And all of the other key fob functions continued working.

Works perfectly, easy enough to program

Worked perfectly. The enclosed instructions were the same as in owners manual. The dealer wanted to charge me $100 for a new fob and $165 to program it. There are videos out there on how to swap out the key portion (you have to punch out the tiny pin).

Works perfectly. After a quick trip to the dealer to get the metal key cut, the FOB programmed easily with provided instructions on my 2015 Buick Regal.
