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 remote fob 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. - Авто та транспорт
Just did this on my 2017 Cadillac ATS. No issues, thank you for this easy step by step informative video! Didn’t get a price on what it’ll cost to program at a dealership but I’m sure I just saved a couple hundred bucks thanks to you!
You're Welcome! Glad it helped!
Cadillac tried to charge me $175 to program a remote thank you so much for your video sir
You're Welcome!
For anyone with a 2013 ats- put new fob in slot in center console and the old one in cup holder, then turn hard key 5 times and press start button (nothing will show up on the screen) wait a few seconds and take out new key and press lock/unlock, it should work, then just hold the start button for 15 seconds to exit the pairing mode. And you’re golden
That's the correct procedure for when you have at least 1 working. If you have no working keys you will need to use the procedure shown in the video.
mine won’t turn 5 times
this worked perfectly thank you
Thank you. Super easy
how do you trigger the DIC? My anti-theft takes over and locks the entire car down? I can't even turn the car on using the dead key fob until 10-30 mins has passed.
😉😉Thanks alot! Saved me money & time!
Anyone with a Platinum (full LCD speedo cluster)... The screen will just stay black the entire time... But, if you do all the steps exactly as he explained, it will still work! 💪💪
This video helped out so much! Lifesaver !
Glad it helped!
Worked like a charm thank you
You're welcome!
It worked yes!!!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!
You're welcome!
I have a 2013 ATS and this absolutely worked!!! So thrilled....it saved me approx. $300 in programming and tow fees....thank you SO much!!!!! FYI, my car did not show any messages on the dash, but I went thru the steps just as if the messages had shown like yours did....also, the slot in the console for the fob was parallel with the drivers seat and I put the fob in with the buttons facing the passenger seat....not sure if that matters, but otherwise, I followed the steps to the letter and can now start my car again!!!!!!!
Great! Glad it helped
I need help with mine. My car alarm keeps going off everytime I try
@@Jay-qh2cu hey did you ever figure out what Was happening? I’m in the same situation with you- my alarm keeps going off
@@chasewilkerson8929 I am also having the same issue have you been able to figure out the solution?
@@heathanking7485dude I ended up taking it to a dealership at that time. I didn’t have a fob that was already programmed.
I just got a new fob as a backup a week ago and used this method and it worked to program.
Thank you iI follow step by step it work
You're welcome!
It worked thank you !!
You're welcome!
I love you! Subscribed
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
I had an issue where the DIC stayed blank. Simply following the procedure regardless worked perfectly and I was able to get the fob programmed.
Awesome! ... yeah, the car in the video's DIC would only stay illuminated for about 7 seconds after the door was opened or closed, otherwise it was blank.
Wow thanks man that was like magic ❤
You're Welcome! Glad it helped
Thank you
You're welcome
That is an awesome video. I'm going to buy my wife an extra key for her car since I can do it myself now.
Nice!
When I place the key into the transmitter the dash comes on when I push the start button but the car won't start. I recently had a time on my pcm and when recieved it back and installed this is the results I'm getting battery was unhooked for 2 weeks so replaced with new battery still same problem. The tuner says the pcm works in their cars when tested. Is my problem the pcm or the key not being program the key fob locks and unlocks the door but won't open the trunk or remote start doesn't work either anymore.
This worked great for our 21 XT6. We had lost the second key and the new second was assigned to the third slot by the dealer. It wouldn't let me program the third key to the second driver memory settings. This process erased both keys and I was able to redo the keys so the third is now the second.
I have a 2014 Cadillac ATS and it’s not really unlocking and locking the doors properly basically it’s not unlocking the doors. Is there a way to reprogram the key that I have so that I don’t have to buy a new one?
Will it work if the alarm has come on? I had pop a lock open the door after I lost my keys.
Great video! FYI: The only difference for the 2014 is the buttons on the key fob have to face toward the front of the car in the slot.
good tip!
I lost all key fobs and spare keys and got new ones and the emergency keys recut but my car is locked so my 2015 Cadillac ats is locked will I be able to unlock it and then start the program? Or
I had a body shop do repair work on my drivers side fender front door .. ever since my fob will not work when it’s in my pocket & I push the door handle -should unlock -lock. Just passenger side works … asked them and got the deer 😮 headlights look. Good video. But will it work to reset all functions ?? Being a paramedic I can fix a person but this 💩 is crazy stupid to fix.
I added my new remote and this worked perfectly. My old fob did not work any more-a new battery did not help so I ordered a new fob. How do I get the old one off the car so my new fob works to set the seat position, etc?
This procedure will erase all previous remotes and the order in which your program the remotes back in will determine driver #
I own a 2017 Ats but what’s this video’s purpose for ... if anyone can give me a solid answer ...? I use my to un/lock normally..?
Can you do this for replacing your second key fob. I had 2. Lost one. Thanks.
Yes - you will just need to re-program the original key 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.
I tried and tried and tried. No luck. Not sure what my issue is. It just started after 132k miles trouble free key fob problems.
Can you explain getting the key cut and where would I be able to get that done?
I would recommend going to an automotive locksmith to get the key cut. If you don't know of one if your area, try here www.locatealocksmith.com/directory/
I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS. When I park it, the car won't turn off. Do you think this could be remote related? Any other videos that you have related to this subject would be appreciated.
Typically key issues arise when the vehicle is being started rather than turned off - So I wouldn't guess it is key related but can't say for sure
was this to reprogram original oem remote ?
But what if you have 1 key and need to program a 2nd?
My ELR will not show any screen and will not go into programming mode.. or so it seems. I have tried 3 different fobs. Is this a issue that Cadillac can even fix ? I THINK It may have to do with the CUE screen being replaced. As that seems a common issue with some ELR and other Cadillac owners. I am going to get new batteries for the new remotes as maybe dead batteries could be the issue ? Also with Cadillacs that have the CUE screen, is it the dash screen or the CUE that will show the programming commands ?
Some vehicles only show the messages for a few seconds right when the door is opened or closed. I would recommend just going off of the time rather than the screen prompts.
@@PYR-Auto I tried that.. but will try again..
I get all the way down to the end after clearing programming and it still won't turn the engine on without putting the fob back in the console. What could be the issue? We put a new battery in also. And do you have to leave the key in the door?
No - you don't need to leave the key in the door. If you are sure you installed the new battery correctly ( not upside down ) then it may just be an issue with the fob itself.
I HAVE 2014 CADILLAC ATS AND THE SLOT FOR THE REMOTE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE IS PARALLEL TO THE DRIVERS SEAT NOT PERPENDICULAR TO THE SEAT , WHICH WAY DO THE BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE FACE---- TOWARDS THE DRIVER SEAT OR TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SEAT! ALSO, DO I HAVE TO GET THE EMERGENCY KEY CUT OR CAN I JUST PLACE THE ORIGINAL EMERGENCY KEY INTO THE ORIGINAL ONE?
The owners manual does not call for the buttons facing a certain direction on a 2014 so i think you should be good either way. Yes, you can just use the emergency key out of an existing remote.
Thank you , my caps key was stuck previously, once I program the 2 remotes from amazon, new sealed in package, will the remote I lost ( no one turned them in-bummer)work for the person who has my remote? My Cadillac manual does not mention opening and closing the door, is that necessary for a 2014 Cadillac ATS?
This procedure will erase all previous remotes once the new remote is programmed. You don't need to open the door but you dash just may be black, I was just doing that in the video so the dash would light up.
How do I prevent the alarm from going off when I open the car with the emergency key and no connected fob?
Try locking the vehicle from the outside with the emergency key and then unlocking it twice (unlock twice without locking in between)
Any idea how to do this on a 2014 cadillac cts coupe? No door handles
For the CTS Coupe you need to use the key cylinder on the trunk.
Can you do this to a key that’s already programmed to a different ats or can you only do this with a brand new key fod that’s not programmed to any car?
No - these remotes lock to a vehicle once programmed. They need to be unlocked or "flashed" by someone with the correct equipment before they can be used again.
what if original key is having these issues could I do this same reset with the same key?
This was a great video, but what I was looking for was how to program the automatic start for my key fob. I have the ability but it’s not programmed.
The whole key fob programs in at the same time so if your car is set-up for factory remote start and you have the correct key fob - there is no additional programming needed for the remote start button to work
@@PYR-Auto thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it good sir.
You're Welcome!
How do you program additional keys?
Will this work for a 2014 ats...trying to upgrading the square key fob to the newer key fob in this video?
I have a 2014 ATS & I Got A OEM 2015-2018 Key Fob & Programmed It No Problem. The Newer Key Fob Has To Be The 315MHZ & The Instructions On What This Guy Is Doing. Is All In The Owners Manual. Supper Simple
guys i have lost my transmitter and have only door opener key. will this procedure help if i buy virgin transmitter on ebay?
Yes just make sure they are unlocked or virgin transmitters, as you said.
Yes, good tip!
thank you, can you link me cheapest variant from eBay? both new and old fobs are ok for me
The old keys will they still work or is it reprogrammed to where only the new ones work
The old keys will be erased and any that you still want to work for the vehicle will need to be re-programmed. if you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your old keys after the new one is programmed.
So i lost my key and don’t have a spare, i ordered one on amazon and was wondering if i could still program it without having to put the key inside?
No
I have a Cadillac ATS 2013 and when I turn it to the left 5 times nothing happens
You might try just continuing with the procedure - some vehicles don't illuminate the dash in order to be able to see the messages. That's why I had to keep opening and closing the door in the video
My key fobs need re-programmed due to someone vandalizing my car and getting in it can I do this to reprogram a remote that is already programmed what I mean to say is well this change the program itself?
This procedure will erase all keys for the vehicle - you will need to re-program any you still want to work with the vehicle. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for each remote after the first one is progammed.
Can you program A new fob with an old emergency key?
Yes you can
Does anyone know if the Remote Start function on the key fob will work by programming it this way? I drive a 2018 ATS
Yes - as long as your original remote had remote start as well. The fob needs to match your vehicles options and it will function just as the original.
Thanks! Also, I already have a working key fob I had lost the spare fob & would like to replace it with a new one, in this video you stated that it’s for if you’ve lost all keys, will I be able to program the new fob with no issue even though I already have one?
You can use this procedure you will just need to re-program your working fob as it will be erased 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 fob after the new one is programmed.
Doez the emergency key go back in FOB when placed in center console?
It can but it won't matter either way.
If you have a remote fob already and just want to make a 2nd an 3rd one is it the same procedure? Thanks in advance.
You can, you just need to re-program your original fob after the fobs. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for each fob, after the first one is programmed. Also, depending on the year of your ATS you may be able to use a similar but short procedure since you already have 1 working fob. You can check that here www.programyourremote.com/classified/ats-browse-600.aspx
@@PYR-Auto thanks, I have a 2014 ats and it only came with one fob. I bought 2 more only cause of the price I was able to get them for. I appreciate your time an willing to help others like myself. Have a great day.
Hello i try to program my key fob but after i turn the key on the door 5 times i get a message READY FOR REMOTE 3
i have lost my keys with fob transmitter, ordered oem virgin key from ebay. can i program it by this instruction or first i need to cut specific key at locksmith?
You will need the emergency key on the fob in order to be able to complete the procedure
Program Your Remote what exactly is emergency key? mechanical steel key which opens doors?
Yes exactly
Program Your Remote I will order dummy key and locksmith will help to cut it I guess.
Can I program a new key fob using my already cut key or will it be able to tell the difference?
You can use the emergency key out of an existing fob.
@@PYR-Auto ok will do! Appreciate it.
My original key fob unlocks and locks my car but i wont start it i have replaced the battery but i still dosent seem to work i tried you way of doing it and it still dosent seem to work got anithing you can help me with
does it start when you place the fob in the transmitter pocket shown in the video?
So i have the original cut key, but lost the fab, can I just buy and use the new fob and my key? and the follow these steps? 2014 ATS
yes
Thank you, I will try that and let you know. @@PYR-Auto
Thank you, it worked beautifully. The 2014 ATS has its pocket on front of compartment, so you cannot place it facing back, I wasn't sure which way, but i inserted it and worked.
Is there a certain way to put the fob into the pocket?
Just set it in there
This worked for my 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0.
Part from amazon:
uxcell Replacement Keyless Entry Remote Car Key Fob Nbg009768t 315mhz for Cadillac Ats 2013-2014 www.amazon.com/dp/B07QRYVTNX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3b6yFbZP107D0
Fob had 4 buttons instead of 3 but still worked. Also, as soon as I turned the key 5 times, “Ready to Learn Remote 3” displayed right away so I put the fob near the charging port (hole towards front of the console). Followed the same steps at the end of the video and it worked. Took less than 10mins all together.
Oh yeah, thanks for the video!! Saved $380 + tax.
It sounds like you actually ended up using the "add a key" procedure, which is shorter it just requires existing fobs - Glad you got it to work though!
How unprogram 2019 ats fob and reprogram.
To a xts Cadillac
The fob will need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before it can be programmed to another vehicle.
Does this work on a 2014 Cadillac ATS?
Yes, it should
My 15 ats will not pull up anything on dash saying it recognized I did anything after I turn the key
I would recommend just going off of the time rather than the messages
Where do you recommend buying key fobs from?
You can find them on Amazon and Ebay but sometimes those end up being cheap knock-offs, I would recommend checking out bit.ly/CarAndTruckRemotes.
@@PYR-Auto Would a previously used keyfob be programmed this way?
What about cadillac ATS 2013
2500 cc.. 🤔🇸🇦👍
I'm not sure what you mean by that?
Do all ATS come with remote start?
No
I have a 2013 ATS Cadillac an when I try the first step it doesn't work ,dash don't light up nothing is it different for a 2013
this should work on a 2013 ATS. Some vehicles only show the message for a few moments right when the door is opened or closed.
I just bought a 2014 Cadillac ATS with one key fob. I want to buy another key fob on Amazon. I have watched a few viideos. When I open the front center console, I can not find a key fob slot. Why???
Did you remove the rubber piece that is shown in the diagram in the video at 4:10? You can also find that diagram in your owner's manual
@@PYR-Auto In the console with the lid there is no pocket or piece of plastic. Do I have the only 2014 Cadillac ATS with this issue. Or do do mean remove the plastic cup holders?
I took a flashlight and did find the slot. I is a vertical slot on the front of the consol. Do the buttons face the driver or passenger seat?
Hey I so wanted to add a 2nd key which doing this worked, but now my 1st key doesn’t work or do anything, do you know the problem or can help me out?
You need to program all the smart keys you want to work on the vehicle at the same time as the old ones will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, repeat steps 4-6 for each smart key, after the first one is programmed.
why does it say in my manual that "This service not available in Canada" That should be illegal. I just went out to try this in my garage and the DIC doesn't even light up
what is the cheapest price for a working key from eBay
I don't know exact pricing but you can find the knockoff brands pretty cheap. The downside is the really cheap items don't tend to last very long.
Do an you do it without emergency key ?
No you need the emergency key
anyway i can do it without the metal key?
no
So just to be clear, this won’t work unless you have at least 2 fobs? I lost my main and only have the spare
Will this work for a 2014?
Yes, it will. I actually updated the title of the video to reflect that
@@PYR-Auto Great Thanks!
I turn the key five times to the left and the message never appears
Some vehicles only show the message for a few seconds right when the door is opened. I would recommend just going off the time rather than the messages on the dash.
Why everytime I wait 10 minutes nothing pops up on dash
I would recommend just going off of the time rather than the messages on the dash
this not working for me
What if I have a working key fob and just want to add a 2nd fob?
You can use this procedure, you just need to repogram in your working remote, as it will be erased during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you repeat steps 4-6 for each remote, after the first remote is programmed.
When I changed the battery in my key fob I took too long and the key fob no longer worked. I was only given 1 key fob when I purchased the car. I followed all your steps and it says not key detected. I am able to start the car when putting the key fob in the center console but I have a message that tells theft deterrent system. Please help.
Changing the battery in the key fob should not cause the fob to loose programming, regardless of how long you take. Are you sure you installed the battery correctly? ( not upside down )
nothing showed up after i turned the key 5 times for me
What year is your ATS?
Do all ATS come with remote start?
Does all ATS come with remote start?
No
