Can confirm it worked for my 2013 Buick Somerset Skylark.

Hoping someone can confirm this works for a newer Buick Somerset Skylark.

This just might solve my Buick Somerset Skylark's ignition issue.

I have the same Buick Somerset Skylark and I'm also trying to find the key code.

Looking for the same thing for my Buick Somerset Skylark, hope someone can help.

Really need the key code for my Buick Somerset Skylark, thanks for sharing!

🔑 Car Key & Fob FAQ

Common questions about key programming, fob issues, and replacement options

Key Programming
Common reasons: wrong key type for your vehicle, anti-theft system needs reset, low car battery voltage during programming, or the key isn't properly synced. Some cars also have programming limits (only 2-4 keys can be registered).
Key Programming
Programming syncs the key's transponder chip with your car's immobilizer system. The process varies by manufacturer but generally involves: 1) authenticating with the car's computer 2) erasing old keys if needed 3) programming new key codes 4) testing functionality.
Key Programming
Some vehicles allow DIY key programming using specific sequences (like turning ignition on/off with original keys). However, most modern cars require specialized equipment only locksmiths or dealers have. Check your owner's manual for your specific model.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Lost Keys
Yes, a skilled auto locksmith can extract the broken key and make a replacement. They can often do this without damaging the ignition cylinder. The new key will need programming if it has a transponder chip.
Key Tip: Store your key code separately from your keys
Key Programming
Most transponder keys and smart keys can be reprogrammed if they haven't been damaged. Basic mechanical-only keys (no chip) can't be reprogrammed - they must be physically cut to match your locks.
Key Fact: Smart keys use radio frequencies between 125 kHz and 2.4 GHz
