Method for matching the remote key of the new Excelle: 1. Prepare two original car keys; 2. Start the car with one original key and keep the engine running; 3. Exit the car and close the door, then use the other original key to lock the car and hold it in the locked position without releasing, while simultaneously pressing the "lock" button on the remote key to be matched for 5 seconds; 4. Release the button on the remote key, then turn the key in the door lock to the unlock position and hold it; 5. Press the "unlock" button on the remote key to be matched, and you will hear a beep, indicating that the remote key has been recognized; 6. Turn off the engine and remove the key. The Excelle is a compact sedan under the Buick brand, with dimensions of 4609 mm in length, 1798 mm in width, and 1464 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640 mm. The Excelle is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with 83 horsepower and a maximum torque of 141 Nm, and a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine with 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm.
To match the Buick Excelle remote key, you first need to prepare two original keys. Last time I did it, I sat in the car and closed the door, then started the engine with the first key and pressed the lock button within 5 seconds. After the hazard lights flashed twice, I removed the key and inserted the second key within 10 seconds to repeat the process. After completing the steps, remember to test both keys separately. But honestly, the anti-theft system in new cars is quite complex. If it fails, you might need to check the OBD port with a diagnostic tool. For ordinary car owners, the risk is high, as improper operation could trigger the anti-theft lock. That’s why the manual recommends going directly to a 4S store for peace of mind.
As someone who frequently disassembles cars, I'd like to remind you that the new Excelle requires specialized equipment for key matching. I've seen owners try a makeshift method: close the door, insert the key and turn to ON position, press the unlock button within 10 seconds, wait for the turn signals to flash, then remove the key. In reality, the success rate is very low. The proper procedure requires connecting a diagnostic computer to the BCM module. First, clear the old key codes, then simultaneously press the lock and unlock buttons on the new key for 3 seconds to program it. The entire process involves encryption protocols, and inexperienced attempts can disrupt the vehicle's original signals, ultimately costing double for repairs.
