I took my title to Buick and they told me which number Vats ohm number (1-15) corresponded with my cars originals ignition/security system. From there I was able to order the correct key from a shop on Amazon, and after I replaced the ignition, I just got the Amazon Key cut to match the key that came with the new ignition.
