2019 Cadillac CT6-V

Programming Guide for 2019 Cadillac CT6-V Smart Keyless Entry Remote Fob

Important Notice: The 2019 Cadillac CT6-V supports onboard programming of additional smart key fobs only if two recognized transmitters are present. If no functional remotes are available, a 30-minute relearn cycle is required. The system supports programming of up to eight total remote fobs. Ensure all transmitters are available before starting the process.

Programming with Two Recognized Transmitters: Use this method when two functioning smart remotes are available.

  • Step 1: Remove the mechanical key from the recognized transmitter.
  • Step 2: Place both recognized transmitters into the front cupholder.
  • Step 3: Remove the key lock cylinder cap from the driver door handle.
  • Step 4: Insert the mechanical key into the driver door lock and turn it counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.
  • Step 5: The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display: READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, ETC.
  • Step 6: Open the center console, remove the rubber mat, and place the new remote into the transmitter pocket.
  • Step 7: Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. The DIC will confirm that the transmitter has been learned.
  • Step 8: Remove the transmitter from the pocket and press LOCK or UNLOCK to confirm it functions.
  • Step 9: Repeat Steps 6–8 for any additional transmitters.
  • Step 10: After all transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
  • Step 11: Reinsert the mechanical key into the newly programmed transmitter(s).

Programming without Recognized Transmitters: This method should be used if no currently recognized remotes are available. The procedure requires three 10-minute security cycles and is not supported in Canada.

  • Step 1: Remove the mechanical key from the new transmitter.
  • Step 2: Remove the key lock cylinder cap from the driver door handle.
  • Step 3: Insert the key into the driver door lock and turn it counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.
  • Step 4: The DIC will display: REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
  • Step 5: Wait approximately 10 minutes. The DIC will then prompt: PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN.
  • Step 6: Press the ENGINE START/STOP button.
  • Step 7: Repeat Steps 5–6 two more times (three 10-minute cycles in total).
  • Step 8: After the third cycle, the DIC will display: READY FOR REMOTE #1 (Note: All previous transmitters will be erased.)
  • Step 9: Open the center console, remove the rubber mat, and place the new transmitter into the transmitter pocket.
  • Step 10: Press ENGINE START/STOP. The DIC will confirm the transmitter is learned.
  • Step 11: Remove the transmitter and press LOCK or UNLOCK to verify functionality.
  • Step 12: To add more remotes, repeat Steps 9–11.
  • Step 13: Press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for about 12 seconds to end programming.
  • Step 14: Reinsert the mechanical key into the programmed transmitters.
