2024 Buick Envista

2024 Smart Keyless Entry Remote Fob – Envista

Important Notice: The 2024 Envista does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. New remotes must be programmed using specialized diagnostic equipment by a qualified automotive technician. Manual pairing by the vehicle owner is not supported.

Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Verify that this vehicle requires professional programming. No key-turn or in-vehicle procedures are available for remote pairing.
  • Step 2: Collect all remote fobs you intend to use. Some systems require all fobs to be present during programming, as others may be erased during the process.
  • Step 3: Prepare documentation to confirm vehicle ownership. Typically, this includes a government-issued ID and either the vehicle title or current registration.
  • Step 4: Arrange an appointment with a certified automotive professional who has access to diagnostic tools compatible with your vehicle’s security system.
  • Step 5: If the vehicle is drivable, consider taking it to the service location rather than requesting mobile service, which may reduce overall costs.
  • Step 6: At the appointment, the technician will connect a diagnostic interface to the vehicle’s onboard computer via the OBD-II port, typically located under the dashboard.
  • Step 7: Using approved software, the technician will initiate the smart key programming sequence and securely pair the new remote to the vehicle.
  • Step 8: Once programmed, the technician will verify full functionality of the new fob by testing all remote features—such as lock, unlock, panic, and remote start if equipped.
  • Step 9: If multiple remotes are being added, they can typically be programmed during the same session to save time and cost.
  • Step 10: Store all newly programmed remotes in a secure location, and label them if needed to avoid confusion between keys.

Additional Tips:

If no remotes are currently available, additional steps may be required to gain access to the vehicle's system. Using a trained professional with experience in keyless entry systems ensures proper programming and reduces the risk of incompatibility. Consider programming a spare remote during the same visit for convenience and future emergencies.
