We specialize in OEM key fobs, guaranteeing quality and compatibility.
Understanding Your 2010 Buick LaCrosse Key Fob Options
For the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, there are two main types of key fobs, determined by your vehicle’s ignition system. It’s crucial to identify which system your LaCrosse has to ensure you order the correct replacement.
Option 1: Standard Ignition (Turn-Key Start)
If your 2010 Buick LaCrosse uses a traditional ignition where you insert and turn a key to start the engine, then you need this key fob option. This remote comes with five buttons: Lock, Unlock, Remote Engine Start, Trunk Release, and Panic Alarm.
This option is compatible with the following OEM part numbers: 13504200, 13504258, and 13504205. It also corresponds to Strattec part number 5912556 and FCC ID OHT01060512, V2T01060512, V2T01060514, AVL-B01T1AC, or AVL-B01T2AC. It operates at a frequency of 315 MHz and uses a CR2032 battery.
This key fob is also compatible with other Buick models including Encore (2014-2022), LaCrosse (2010-2016), Regal (2011-2017), Verano (2012-2017), and Allure (2010-2012).
Option 2: Push-to-Start Ignition
If your 2010 Buick LaCrosse features a push-button start system on the dashboard, you will require this specific key fob. Like the standard ignition fob, this version also includes five buttons: Lock, Unlock, Remote Engine Start, Trunk Release, and Panic Alarm.
The OEM part numbers for this push-to-start key fob are 13504202, 13500224, and 13585206. It is also known as Strattec part number 5912559 and has FCC IDs KR55WK50073, OHT05918179, or P4O9MK74946931. This fob also operates at 315 MHz and uses a CR2032 battery.
This push-to-start compatible key fob is also suitable for Buick LaCrosse (2010-2016), Regal (2011-2017), Verano (2012-2017), and Allure (2010-2012) models with push-button start.
Key Fob Programming and Compatibility
It’s important to note that both key fob options for your 2010 Buick LaCrosse require professional programming. These are genuine OEM remotes and need to be programmed to your vehicle’s specific system by a qualified professional. You can typically get your new key fob programmed at a Buick dealership or by a local automotive locksmith. We do not offer key cutting or programming services at our facility. You can find a local locksmith using online resources.
Used key fobs can be reused after a unlocking/re-flashing service, which is helpful information for locksmiths and dealers. Neither of these key fobs support on-board programming, meaning you cannot program them yourself without professional equipment.
