Are you in need of a new key fob for your 2011 Buick Regal? Losing or damaging your car key can be a frustrating experience, but replacing it doesn’t have to be a hassle. This guide will help you navigate the options for a 2011 Buick Regal Key Fob replacement, ensuring you get the right remote for your vehicle and get back on the road quickly. We offer genuine, OEM key fobs designed specifically for your Buick Regal, guaranteeing compatibility and performance.
Choosing the Right Key Fob for Your 2011 Buick Regal
It’s crucial to select the correct key fob for your 2011 Buick Regal, as there are two distinct options depending on your vehicle’s ignition system. To ensure you purchase the right replacement, determine whether your Buick Regal has a standard “turn-the-key” ignition or a “Push to Start/Stop button” on the dashboard.
Option 1: Standard Ignition – Turn-Key Start
If your 2011 Buick Regal uses a traditional key ignition where you insert and turn the key to start the engine, then Option 1 is the correct key fob for you. This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) remote, the same quality and type you would obtain from your local Buick dealership.
Key Features of the Standard Ignition Key Fob:
- OEM Part Numbers: Includes a range of compatible OEM part numbers: 13500227, 13504205, 13585811, 13576144.
- Strattec Part Number: 5912555 (Non-Prox Remote).
- FCC ID: Compatible with multiple FCC IDs: OHT01060512, V2T01060512, V2T01060514, AVL-B01T1AC, AVL-B01T2AC.
- Frequency: Operates on a 315 MHz frequency.
- Battery: Uses a CR2032 battery.
- Reusability: Used remotes can be reused after unlocking/re-flashing service, beneficial for locksmiths and dealers.
- On-Board Programming: This remote does not support on-board programming and requires professional programming.
- Buttons: Features 4 buttons: Lock, Unlock, Trunk Release, and Panic Alarm.
This key fob is also compatible with the following Buick models:
- Buick Encore (2014-2022)
- Buick LaCrosse (2010-2016)
- Buick Regal (2011-2017)
- Buick Verano (2012-2017)
Option 2: Push to Start Ignition
If your 2011 Buick Regal is equipped with a Push to Start/Stop button on the dashboard, you will need Option 2, the proximity (Prox) PEPS remote. This OEM remote provides keyless entry and start functionality.
Key Features of the Push to Start Key Fob:
- OEM Part Number: 13504283.
- Strattec Part Number: 5912558 (Prox PEPS Remote).

- Battery: Uses a CR2032 battery.
- Reusability: Like Option 1, used remotes are reusable after unlocking/re-flashing.
- On-Board Programming: This remote also does not support on-board programming and requires professional programming.
- Buttons: Includes 4 buttons: Lock, Unlock, Trunk Release, and Panic Alarm.
This key fob is also compatible with:
- Buick LaCrosse (2010-2016)

Professional Programming is Required
Important Note: Neither of these 2011 Buick Regal key fobs can be programmed at home using on-board programming methods. Professional programming is required after you receive your new remote.
You have two primary options for programming your new key fob:
- Buick Dealership: Your local Buick dealership has the equipment and expertise to program your new OEM key fob. Contact them for a programming appointment and pricing.
- Automotive Locksmith: Many local automotive locksmiths are also equipped to program key fobs for Buick vehicles, often at a more competitive price than dealerships. Use our Locksmith Search tool to find a qualified locksmith in your area.
Please note that key cutting may also be required for Option 1 (standard ignition) remotes if they include a physical key blade. This service can also be performed by dealerships or locksmiths.
