Programming your 2007 Cadillac Escalade key fob can be a straightforward process, often achievable right in your driveway. This guide provides comprehensive, easy-to-follow instructions to get your key fob programmed quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re replacing a lost fob or adding an extra one, understanding the programming steps can save you time and money.
This information is typically found in your Cadillac Escalade Owner’s Manual, within the Driver Information Center section. However, for your convenience, we’ve outlined two methods here, catering to Escalade models both with and without Driver Information Center buttons.
Method 1: Programming with the Driver Information Center (DIC)
If your 2007 Cadillac Escalade is equipped with Driver Information Center buttons, follow these steps to program your key fob:
-
Turn Ignition to ON: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. This is the position right before you start the engine, allowing you to access the Driver Information Center.
-
Access ‘PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY’: Press the “vehicle information” button repeatedly until you see “PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY” displayed on the DIC screen.
-
Initiate Learning Mode: Press the “set/reset” button until the DIC displays “REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE”. The system is now ready to program your key fob.
-
Program First Key Fob: Simultaneously press and hold the “lock” and “unlock” buttons on your first keyless remote for approximately 15 seconds. You will hear a chime sound, indicating that the remote has been successfully programmed.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 4 immediately. Your 2007 Cadillac Escalade can accommodate up to eight programmed remotes.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition. Test each programmed remote to ensure they are working correctly.
Method 2: Programming for Escalades Without DIC Buttons
For 2007 Cadillac Escalade models without Driver Information Center buttons, use this procedure. Ensure your vehicle is in Park (P) and the key is in the “ON” position (as far as it will go without starting the engine).
-
Access ‘RELEARN REMOTE KEY’: Press and release the trip odometer reset stem repeatedly until “RELEARN REMOTE KEY” is displayed in the instrument panel.
-
Activate Learning Mode: Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem for about three seconds. The message “REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE” will appear, indicating the system is ready for programming.
-
Program First Key Fob: Press and hold the “lock” and “unlock” buttons on the first keyless remote concurrently for approximately 15 seconds. A chime will sound to confirm successful programming of the remote.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): To program more remotes, repeat step 3 immediately. You can program up to eight remotes for your vehicle.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove it. Test all programmed remotes to verify proper operation.
