I have a Buick Regal 2000 and the computer chip in the key has come out. It's lost.
The car won't start without the chip in the key. I'm having problems getting the key/

Hello,

Cal your local locksmith. They are very good with making new keys and programming them to your car. They will be cheaper than the dealer in most cases also.

Hope this helps...Please Accept.

Thanks, Dean
