Lost or need to replace your 2013 Cadillac Srx Key Fob? Don’t worry, programming a new key fob for your Cadillac SRX can be done at home, potentially saving you a trip to the dealership. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to program a new key fob for your 2013 Cadillac SRX, even if you don’t have a currently recognized transmitter.
This procedure is specifically for keyless access vehicles and is not available in Canada. It will take approximately 30 minutes, and ensure you have all the key fobs you wish to program with you before starting.
Here’s how to program your 2013 Cadillac SRX key fob:
-
Initiate Programming Mode: Insert your 2013 Cadillac SRX key into the driver’s side door lock cylinder. Turn the key to the unlock position five times within ten seconds. This action will signal the vehicle to enter the key fob programming mode. You should see “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT” displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
-
First Wait Period: Wait for ten minutes. The DIC will update to display “PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN”. Once this message appears, press the ignition button. The DIC will revert back to displaying “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT”.
-
Repeat Wait Periods: Repeat step 2 two additional times. Each wait period is ten minutes. After the third ten-minute wait and ignition press, all previously programmed key fobs will be erased. This is a necessary step to ensure only the key fobs you are currently programming will work with your vehicle. The DIC should now show “READY FOR REMOTE # 1”.
-
Place New Key Fob in Transmitter Pocket: Locate the transmitter pocket. It’s situated inside the center console storage area, between the driver and passenger seats. Open the storage area and lift up the storage tray to access the pocket. Place your new 2013 Cadillac SRX key fob into this pocket.
-
Program Key Fob: Press the ignition button again. When the key fob is successfully programmed, the DIC will display a message indicating it’s ready to program the next transmitter.
-
Verify Programming: Remove the newly programmed key fob from the transmitter pocket and press the lock or unlock button on the fob to confirm it is working correctly with your 2013 Cadillac SRX.
By following these steps, you can successfully program a new 2013 Cadillac SRX key fob yourself. This process allows you to get back on the road quickly and avoid potentially costly dealership programming fees.
