2011 Smart Keyless Entry Remote Fob

Important Notice: The 2011 Buick Allure does not support onboard programming. Smart key remotes must be programmed using specialized diagnostic tools by a certified technician or authorized dealer.

• Step 1: Determine if you are replacing a lost key fob or adding an additional one. Typically, all remotes must be programmed during the same session to maintain system compatibility.
• Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified technician or authorized dealer who has the necessary diagnostic equipment for programming your key fob.
• Step 3: Bring all working remotes to your appointment. Any key fob not present during the programming process may be erased from the vehicle’s system and will no longer function.
• Step 4: If the vehicle is operable, consider driving it to the service provider instead of requesting a mobile service, which may be more expensive.
• Step 5: If no functional remotes are available, make sure to bring valid proof of ownership—such as your vehicle’s title or registration—before the technician can proceed with programming.
• Step 6: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard system to access the keyless entry programming interface.
• Step 7: The new key fob will be securely registered with the vehicle’s electronic system, enabling locking, unlocking, and starting functions.
• Step 8: After programming, the technician will verify the functionality of the remote, testing essential features like keyless entry and engine ignition.
• Step 9: Test all remote features yourself, including trunk release, panic alarm, and proximity unlocking, to ensure everything is fully operational.
• Step 10: If you are programming multiple remotes, they must all be added during the same session to ensure proper synchronization and full compatibility with the vehicle’s system.
