Lost, damaged, or simply need a spare key fob for your 2011 Buick Regal? Finding the correct replacement is crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s security and convenience. This guide will help you navigate the options and ensure you get the right key fob for your 2011 Buick Regal.
For 2011 Buick Regal models, there are two main types of key fobs, depending on your vehicle’s ignition system. It’s essential to identify which system your Regal has to select the compatible key fob.
Option 1: Key Fob for Standard Ignition (Turn-Key Start)
If your 2011 Buick Regal uses a traditional ignition where you insert and turn a key to start the engine, then you need the standard keyless entry remote. This genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) remote from GM is the same quality and type you would obtain from your local Buick dealership.
This option is identified by the following specifications:

- FCC ID: OHT01060512, V2T01060512, V2T01060514, AVL-B01T1AC, AVL-B01T2AC
- Frequency: 315 MHz
- Battery: CR2032
- Buttons: Lock, Unlock, Trunk release, Panic alarm
This key fob is also compatible with several other Buick models:
- Buick Encore (2014-2022)
- Buick LaCrosse (2010-2016)
- Buick Regal (2011-2017)
- Buick Verano (2012-2017)

Option 2: Key Fob for Push-to-Start Ignition
If your 2011 Buick Regal is equipped with a push-to-start ignition system, meaning you have a start/stop button on your dashboard instead of a traditional key slot, you will need a proximity (Prox) key fob. This is also a genuine OEM Buick remote.
