worked for me best in key case

This key fob is almost identical to the original Buick, but I had to modify it slightly to get the I/O mechanism on the metal key to work properly.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Reliability

The emblem isn't the same, but it works.

Great item at this price, perfectly matches our 2013 Chevy Cruze key fob. The only issue that doesn't really matter is the Buick and Chevy key fob emblem.

Pros
  • Nice little thing
Cons
  • Hard to say

Perfect replacement

Replaced my worn out 2011 Buick Lacrosse key fob with no problems. I just took both to a locksmith and it was done within 10 minutes. I recommend asking a locksmith to program the car if you are unsure. I heard you can only try once. I'm not sure if that's true, but I didn't risk it.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Security

Good luck opening your original key fob

The factory key from my 2013 LaCrosse was glued on so I had to use a Dremel tool to cut it open. Then the key itself didn't exactly match the new blank one, so it still doesn't work for me. It was a great pain to work on. Maybe some cars are different from mine but be careful.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not sure

Loss of range after replacing the case

No instructions on how to remove the circuit board from the old case - you have to cut the old case to size. The new case is close, but not an exact replacement. The remote control stops working within 30 feet. The signal strength is greatly reduced and not always recognizable in the vehicle. Replacing the key shaft was a little tricky as the roll pin insert didn't fit snugly.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some bugs

It wasn't easy, but the new hull was installed.

The job would be a lot easier if the replacement key shell came with fitting instructions. Online videos were only of limited use. Also, the replacement swing gear is made differently than the factory original and the new gear keeps my key from snapping when flipped into the housing. But all the buttons work and it's better than a broken case.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Nothing

It works best in interior decoration

To be honest after reading some of the reviews I wasn't expecting this product. The only reason I decided to buy it was the price. As other buyers have pointed out, no instructions are included. BUT. A quick YouTube search easily solves this problem. My original key broke the fob and a replacement would have cost a few hundred dollars which I saved on this case. It worked perfectly and seems to be just as durable as the OEM. Remember to twist the tension spring so the key springs open and…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Suitable for

Works with the old key with some modifications.

Fits my 2010 Buick Lacrosse CXS with button start. I disassembled my old key fob using needle nose pliers in the hole at the top with partial key exit (opened the pliers to open). After that, I just slowly separated the rest with my fingers. The key ring holder broke but the key case was still usable when my new case didn't fit. A new building opened. My computer circuit board fitted perfectly. The old key with the original holder did not work properly in the new shell (did not lock properly…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Everything is fine
