Lost your 2007 Cadillac Srx Key Fob or need to program a new replacement? Don’t worry, programming a new key fob for your 2007 Cadillac SRX can be done at home without special tools if you follow the correct procedure. This guide will walk you through the steps to program a new key fob when you don’t have a recognized transmitter available. This process is specifically for vehicles with keyless access and is not available in Canada. Please note that this procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, and all transmitters you wish to program must be present with you during the process.
To begin, ensure your Cadillac SRX is turned off.
-
Initiate Programming Mode: Insert the vehicle key into the driver’s side door lock cylinder. Turn the key to the unlock position five times within ten seconds. After performing this step correctly, the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT”.
-
First 10-Minute Wait: Wait for ten minutes. The DIC display will change to “PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN”. Once this message appears, press the ignition button. The DIC will then revert back to displaying “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT”.
-
Second and Third 10-Minute Waits: Repeat step 2 two additional times. Each time, wait for ten minutes until you see “PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN” and then press the ignition. After the third successful repetition of this step, all previously programmed key fobs will be erased from the vehicle’s memory. This is a necessary step to ensure only the key fobs you are programming now will work with your vehicle. The DIC should now display “READY FOR REMOTE # 1”.
-
Place New Transmitter in Pocket: Locate the transmitter pocket. It is situated inside the center console storage area between the driver and passenger seats. Open the storage compartment and lift the storage tray to access the transmitter pocket. Place your new 2007 Cadillac SRX key fob into this pocket.
-
Program the Transmitter: Press the ignition button. When the new key fob is successfully programmed, the DIC will display a message indicating it is ready to program the next transmitter.
-
Verify Programming: Remove the newly programmed key fob from the transmitter pocket. Press the lock or unlock button on the key fob to verify that it now works with your 2007 Cadillac SRX.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully program a new 2007 Cadillac SRX key fob. Remember to have all key fobs you wish to use programmed during this session as previous fobs will no longer function after this procedure. If you encounter any issues or the programming is unsuccessful, it’s recommended to consult your Cadillac SRX owner’s manual or contact a certified automotive locksmith or dealership for further assistance.
