Buick Rendezvous, Intrigue and Aztek Remote Programming

Updated 2026 8 vehicles 2001–2007

This procedure covers 8 Buick and Oldsmobile vehicles from 2001 to 2007. Check that yours is listed below, then follow the steps.

Need the fob itself?

Pick your vehicle to see replacement fobs on Amazon. Match the FCC ID on your old fob before you buy.

Not sure which fob is yours? Find your year below for the exact FCC ID and part number.

On the Buick Rendezvous, Intrigue, and Aztek you can program remotes yourself by holding the door's Unlock switch while cycling the key. Have all your remotes ready.

Before you start

  • All remote transmitters for the vehicle
  1. 1Close all doors.
  2. 2Press and hold UNLOCK on the driver's-door lock switch — keep holding until step 6.
  3. 3Insert the key into the ignition but don't turn it.
  4. 4Remove the key, then insert it again (without turning) and remove it.
  5. 5Insert the key a third time and leave it in — don't turn it.
  6. 6Release the door's Unlock switch. A chime sounds three times — you're in programming mode.
  7. 7Press LOCK and UNLOCK together on the remote for up to 30 seconds. Two chimes mean it programmed.
  8. 8Repeat the previous step for additional remotes, then remove the key to exit.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • Trouble entering programming mode? Some vehicles need step 3 done before step 2.

Which fob does your vehicle take?

These steps program a fob to your car — they can't tell you which fob to buy, and one that isn't the right part for your vehicle will not pair no matter how carefully you follow them. Find your vehicle below: tap your year for the exact fob it takes — FCC ID, OE part number and battery — or "Shop fobs" to browse replacements for that model.
