2017 Buick Regal Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
The OEM versus aftermarket question on 2017 Buick Regal keys is real, and locksmiths on Reddit are blunt about it. Cheap aftermarket fobs on Buick proximity systems are known for intermittent "no remote detected" messages, mushy buttons, and forcing you to use the backup pocket every time. On older PK3 metal keys the aftermarket blanks are more reliable, but proximity Buicks are picky.
A literature professor at the bookstore lot in Thousand Oaks asked whether the aftermarket key would be "as good as original." She had a 2017 Buick Regal and wanted a spare she could trust daily. She'd read on a Buick forum that only OEM fobs were reliable. Fair question, and it deserves an honest answer.
I carry OEM-grade Strattec fobs with the same snap fit, same button feel, and same circuit board as factory. The transponder chip is the exact type the BCM expects. I verified her existing key with my HU100 Lishi, then built the spare with the correct chip. Her fob, FCC ID OHT01060512, was a 5-button remote that I programmed through OBD.
Her total was 185. Where aftermarket goes wrong is when a locksmith uses a generic chip or a no-logo board that doesn't fully match GM's layout. I match the chip to the car.

“I needed a second key made for my 2012 Nissan Altima. They arrived quickly, finished in about 15 minutes, and gave me the best price I could find.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
