1. Remove the key lock cylinder cap. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle; then turn the key counterclockwise, to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.The Driver Information Center(DIC) displays REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
2. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). The DIC display will again show REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time all previously known transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. The DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). Remaining transmitters can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show READY FOR REMOTE # 1.
4. Place the new transmitter in the transmitter pocket with buttons facing the rear of the vehicle. The transmitter pocket is inside the center console storage area between the driver and front passenger seats. The storage area will need to be opened to access the transmitter pocket.
5. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the next transmitter.
6. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press unlock or lock on the transmitter.
To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 4-6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.

These instructions worked perfect for my 2017 XT5! By the way, the only reason you need the key cut is to operate the door lock. If you’re trying to program an “extra” key fob, you can use your existing key to perform the door lock portion and the program a new fob even with an un-cut key. I paid 60 bucks for a new fob and the lock service would have cost an additional 300.
The steps worked perfectly for my 2018 Cadillac XT5. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
My xt5 doesn’t have a key fob pocket, any suggestions?
This procedure worked great to program my 2017 XT5 new Fob, I programed a new FOB and the old one using the last step. You need to program all the fobs at the end, all good
Yes!
Worked great for me! The procedure is in the car's owners manual as well.
Nice! Yes!
Im not sure I understand If this is for a lost key fob only, what do you use for a key to cut the new key fob. I have a key fob and I just want an extra one. Will it work that way?
This video is awesome!!! Step by step without any missing information for programming new remotes. It take me 2 - 30 minute tries, but definitely worth it!!!
On my first try some how I erased my one working remote. On my second try it worked perfectly on the first remote and then I repeated steps 4-6 for remote 2 before pressing for 12 second to end the process. I couldn’t believe after waiting 3-10 minutes periods for the car to get ready to program the remotes it literally took a press of the button to program the fobs… go figure (theft reduction plan I guess).
Thank you for posting this video!!!
You’re Welcome!
Thx for posting this. Does the same procedure work for a 2nd/backup fob if I already have one working fob?
I have 2 working remotes, #1 and #3 and would like to have them numbered #1 and #2 so that #3 will work with the memory features. Should I just run this procedure on #1 and #3? Thanks
Yes, do this procedure and re-program both remotes. The order in which you program them in will determine Remote 1 and Remote 2. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for the second remote after the first one is programmed.
I tried this a few times with no luck. Maybe I am doing something wrong!
First facts, car is a 2017 Cadillac, premium luxury model, there is no key transmitter holder in the area note in the video, (in fact the Chen console has a cell phone holder and the transmitter holder is in the bottom of the console). I lost one complete fob so I bought an After market one that looks identical to my original, except it is missing the logo. I did not get the key cut, just want to have the remote fob, is that the cause of the failure?
So I followed the instructions AFTER I watched the video and printed the written instructions to help follow. I get nothing, no msg on the dash…nothing. I replaced the battery in the new one, still nothing, suggestion’s? Suggestions? Thanks
If you have a working remote and want a second remote is the procedure the same.
you will need to re-program your original remote during the proceudre as it will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeats steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed.
키가 2개있는데 단지 하나 더 추가하고 싶은데 지금 이 영상처럼 하면 되나요?
What if you have a working remote and a new one?
You will need to re-program the working remote while you do the procedure. If you look at the numbered steps in the description box, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for each remote. Also, you will need the working remote far enough away from the vehicle so it cant be recognized to get the vehicle into programming mode.
@@PYR-Auto The working one will not work after the programing is completed. Step 3 erases it. He needs to program it with the new one.
Большое спасибо, все работает.
Great video.. thanks. I was able to program the key but the remote trunk release is not working on xt5
The whole remote programs in at the same time so there must be an issue with the remote or the vehicle it self. Did the trunk button work on your previous fobs?
Can you use the old key that's cut in the new key fob that has an uncut key
yes
Worked great. Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Had one fob and went to add another. Successfully got to "Ready for Remote 1", but the vehicle will not program the new fob. Old fob is now forgotten, and won't be programmed either. Have tried process multiple times with no success. Dealer is at a loss, (And can't bring it in since I don't have a programmed fob to start it.) Any suggestions?
its possible there was just an issue with the new fob. Have you tried starting the procedure over and re-programming your original fob as "remote 1"?
Great video. I lost my spare fob for a 2020XT5. How could I add a fob that I have from a 2017 XT5? Thanks,
These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be re-programmed to another vehicle.
On my 2021 Cadillac XT5 luxury model can you change the dash driver 1 and driver 2. - I’m trying to set up “his & hers “ remotes that coincide with the seat/steering wheel memory 1 & 2. Is that possible?
This procedure will erase all remotes and the order in which you program them back in will determine driver #. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeats steps 4-6 for the second remote after the first one is programmed.
Great Video!!! One question, when you say that you need to have the "Key Cut", what is involved to do so and where would you go to have that done?
The emergency key needs to be cut as it comes as a blank. You will need an automotive locksmith or dealership to cut it for you.
@@PYR-Auto or make sure you swap out the cut insert/key from the old fob, to whatever new one you'll be using..
I lost one key fob to my 2017 XT5 and still have one key fob with emergency key. I have a brand new Escalade key fob without the emergency key. Can I program this Escalade key fob for my XT5, using the emergency key from the existing XT5 key fob?
Yes you can use the emergency key out of an existing fob to program a new one. However, I don't believe the Escalade and XT5 fob are compatible as they use different FCC ID's
Does this work on a 23 XT5?
I have a control programmed in another car, how can I program it in mine xt5 2018
These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and must be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle.
Thank you for posting. I have tried to add a fob to my 2017 ctsv and ended up having to go through the entire 30 minute process. I saw the comments to just do 4-6 steps however the steps aren't really "numbered" and rather confusing to just add a fob. Or if the video mentioned during the instructions "if your just adding a fob then" or if your programing more than one fob when you would add in the second.
Anyway if possible can you tell me do I need to place the key in the door and start from the beginning to add a fob? If not where do I begin?
I did that and had to add back the original fob as it didn't remember it after some trial and error. Its back up and running but don't want to go down that road again to try to add this fob.
If you look at the steps in the description box of the video they are clearly numbered. So you do the procedure just as its done in the video, when you finish step 6 with your fist fob ( Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press unlock or lock on the transmitter ), then you go back to step 4 and start from there with your additional fob.
He will not be able to go back if he has held the start button down for 12 seconds. He needs to start over
You repeat steps 4-6 for the additional remote before exiting programming mode (holding down button for 12 seconds)
I have my original remote for XT5 Cadillac 2017 but it is not working well.. Have to put it in the pocket all the time from the court to start.. can I reprogram it..
You can try but these remotes shouldn't require re-programming. Have you tired changing the battery in the remote?
Did you something with the QI Charger? There is a internal antenna for the fob inside at the QI Charger.
I bought a used key fob will this same procedure work?
Yes bu only of the used fob has been properly unlocked by someone with the correct equipment
Everytime I do the first step my car alarm goes off and overrides the step it’s supposed to be in
Do you have any working remotes for the vehicle?
Can you have more than 2 key fobs programmed?
Yes, on the XT5 you can have up to 8 key fobs programmed
It works, thanks
You're Welcome!
It worked!
Nice!
how about if i lost my keyfob? do i need to buy 2 remotes or just 1?
You only need one for this procedure
thank you so much
Nice video! While it's not quite right for the XT5. On the XT5 if you wanting to add a remote your old one/omes will have to go through the final procedure too.
The last step is to erase any others that may have been programed. You can add several more if needed.
You're actually talking about a different procedure, the one if you already have existing fobs, both procedures are in listed in your owners manual. Using the procedure shown in the video, the old fobs are erased as soon as a new fob is programmed ( step 6 in your owners manual or the description box of the video ) however, you can still use this procedure to program multiple fobs, you just repeat steps 4-6 for each fob, after the first fob is programmed.
@@PYR-Auto will it work on a 2O21 XT5?
l already hav a programmed fob, just want to add a second one.. if l buy the virgin OEM, l know the jnsert key wont be cut (l'll do that later) but am hoping this will work to get the fob programmed..
I did this and unprogram my key fob that was working did everything step by step and now it won’t do anything smh
Any previous remotes that you had for the vehicle will need to be re-programmed during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed.
MY XT5 2020, I FOLLOW STEP BY STEP BUT WON'T START WITH NEW AND OLD REMOTE. IT DEAD. SOME ONE KNOW HOW TO RESET. THANK YOU
will this work on 2022 cadillac xt6
My car stays stuck in programming mode and every time I go to drive my car I have to hold the start button for 12 seconds to take it off programming mode and then I can start. I also now have a theft deterrent message displayed. How do I fix this issue
Programming a second remote can usually resolve the issue of the vehicle being stuck in programming mode
@@PYR-Auto thank you
I have two fobs for my 2017 Xt5...one that works and the other doesn't. I replaced the battery and it still didn't work so I figured I needed to reprogram it. Will this method erase the one that does work?
Yes although it should be able to be reprogrammed
Will this process work on a remote control that was previously working.
2014 XT5 Luxury. I changed the battery and it's not working.
It can but a remote should not need re-programming after just changing the battery so there may be other issues. Are you sure you installed the new battery correctly (not upside down)
So if I have the original key and want to add another do I still need to have key cut? Or can i insert original key and just program remote
you can use the original
Thanks for the video - would this be the same procedure if you had to replace the "remote control door lock receiver)" also called the RCDLR?
not sure on that, sorry
Excuse the question. Did you program the Receiver when you installed it? Did you follow these steps in the video or did you do something else? I want to install a new receiver in my 2017 Cadillac Xt5
Hello. I used these instructions a few months ago and had no issue. This time neither remote will work and my vehicle will not go into programming mode. How long does it take before I can retry the process? Thanks in advance.
You can re-try immediately - there is no time restriction.
Thanks for sharing, I may need this someday.
You're Welcome! Glad it helped!
Is it possible to program a used second key fob from a different XT5? I have one original key and key fob.
The used key will need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before it can be programmed again to a different car.
So I read a few of your pass “reply’s “ and figured out what I needed to do! Thank you so much for sharing info that’s impossible to get out of Cadillac! Is there a way to compensate you for your perfect instruction? I can only imagine what Cadillac would’ve charged! Thank you
You're Welcome, glad you figured it out! There is a "super thanks" button near the comments that will allow for donation but its not necessary
cadillac dealer wants $229 just to program! (2O21 XT5) thats not even buying fob from them..
Hey it worked but my new keys the trunk button doesn't work
The whole key should program in at the same time so there may just be an issue with that button on the key
Hi where do you get the key cut?
Automotive locksmith or dealership
Thanks for the info
You're Welcome!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
