2018 Buick Encore Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Push-to-start all-keys-lost on a 2018 Buick Encore is the job that worries Buick owners the most. No key slot, no ignition cylinder to turn. The car needs to wirelessly detect a smart fob registered to its BCM before it will even wake up. If that fob is gone, the car is sitting there doing nothing, and most locksmiths won't attempt it.
An out-of-town sales rep at a hotel conference lot outside Coronado had a Encore with push-to-start and zero keys. He was hours from home, had a meeting the next morning, and two locksmiths told him Buick smart key AKL wasn't possible in the field.
I drove to the hotel lot. The GM smart key system on his Buick uses the same BCM architecture as Chevy and GMC, which means AKL follows the same security protocol. I used my ACDP to pull the immobilizer data as a safety backup, then ran the AKL sequence through OBD with my IM608. His smart fob, FCC ID HYQ4AA, was a 4-button proximity key. The BCM accepted the new fob after the timed security countdown completed.
His car started at a hotel lot 100 miles from home. Total was around $265. Buick smart key AKL follows the same GM procedure I do on Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac every week.
