Cadillac Car and Truck Keyless Entry Remotes and Fobs

A keyless entry remote, or key fob, for your Cadillac is an electronic device that contains programming that allows you to lock or unlock your vehicle without the use of a traditional key. A keyless entry remote sends signals by a short-range radio transmitter, requiring the remote to be within a range less than 5 to 20 meters in order for the key to work. Replacement keyless entry remotes and fobs are available for your Cadillac.

How do you open your Cadillac with a dead remote?

If your Cadillac car or truck keyless entry remote is dead, you may still be able to open your vehicle. Some vehicles have programming installed that will allow the manufacturer to remotely unlock your doors when your keyless entry system wont work. You can place dead car or truck remotes on the door handle and try pulling; there may still be enough power to activate the lock at that distance. If your car or truck remote is covered, try removing it. Many manufacturers hide a key inside the remote. If there is a spare key inside the remote, it is usually held by other parts of the car or truck remotes body. Unlatching those parts should free it. Even if you are able to open your Cadillac, a dead remote means it needs replaced.

How do you replace batteries on car or truck remotes?

A vehicle remote, or key fob, for your Cadillac will eventually need to have a battery replaced. To replace a battery in your Cadillac key fob, you can:

  • Check the battery type. This is often printed on one of parts of the key remote, such as the back cover.
  • Remove the battery cover. These covers are detachable parts located on the back or top of the key remote.
  • Replace the battery. Make sure to pay attention to polarity as you remove and replace the battery.
  • Replace the battery cover, and secure it.
Can you upgrade Cadillac car and truck remotes?

Many car or truck remotes are upgradable, but you will need to refer to the specific model installed in your Cadillac in order to determine which ones are available. For example, certain Cadillac models from 2007 or newer can upgrade the Compustar keyless remote system with the DC3 Remote Start system. This upgrade uses a GM-Series t-harness designed for Cadillacs. Some of the upgrade features include:

  • Remote start
  • 3X Lock Start that allows you to use your OEM device
  • Keyless entry that unlocks the doors when you come within 5 feet of the car
  • Security upgrade options
