MechanMagic Remote Flip Key Fob Replacement Fits for Chevy

MechanMagic remote flip key fob replacement is a fully assembled, pre-tested keyless entry remote (FCC ID OHT01060512 / V2T01060512) compatible with many 2010–2021 Chevrolet, Buick and GMC models.

This compact flip key arrives with the internal electronics and battery already installed, so you receive a ready-to-program remote that fits numerous vehicles including Cruze, Equinox, Camaro, Malibu, Impala, Sonic, LaCrosse, Regal, Verano, Encore, Allure and GMC Terrain. The unit replaces several factory part numbers, supports remote lock/unlock and remote start where the original system permits, and is designed for vehicles with a conventional keyed ignition (not for push-button or passive entry systems).

Which models and years will this MechanMagic fob work with?

How ready-to-use is the key fob right out of the box?

How do I program and prepare the fob for daily use?

MechanMagic supplies step-by-step self-programming instructions with every purchase so many owners can pair the remote without special tools. If your vehicle requires dealer-level programming or the immobilizer needs reconfiguration, a locksmith or dealer visit may be necessary. Remember to have the mechanical key blade cut separately before use.

• Self-programming link included in every order for guided setup
• Some vehicles may still need professional programming or immobilizer reset
• Mechanical key cutting must be done locally at a locksmith or hardware store
• Test remote functions after programming to confirm lock/unlock and remote start if applicable

Who is this for? This MechanMagic flip key fob is aimed at owners of compatible GM vehicles looking for a cost-effective, ready-to-program replacement for a lost or damaged remote. It’s also useful as a spare for drivers who prefer a quick swap-to-new remote instead of repairing the original. Choose this if your car uses a regular keyed ignition, you can have the blade cut locally, and you want a pre-assembled unit that’s pre-tested and includes clear programming guidance.
