Range is pretty impressive on them 12-15 car spaces away and it works.

where did you order the badge from?

Personally, I don't like it, but maybe someone else will. I wonder if them out to people. At least they're cheap. Makes the wait easier to bear.

Edit: there's also a seller with an alternative design here:
8th Day Creations would be interested in making some plain silver Cadillac logo stickers. I'll contact them now.
Ended up ordering the first ones before you replied. I saw the other ones as well but I don't like them either.

My solution to the one working key, tall guy and key stabby issue. Its the advanced keys system.

I would have done the same as you with a switchblade key if I would have known.
http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK105S.html

Its keyless, and will be installed in the near future, so I will definitely let you know how it goes.

Glad to hear the tech 2 panned out for you also.

I was wondering if it would be possible to do this without a tech 2? I remember once when I went offshore and came back my battery had died for (apparently) a very long time. When I got back my fob didn't work anymore and all I had to do was some series of button pushes and magical window switching and voila! My fob was "Paired." Could I do that with this new fob? Or do I literally NEED to go to the dealer? I hate the dealer! D:<

A tech2 is the only way it's gonna happen with this car. No way around it. Gotta find someone with the tool or go to the dealer. Zero way around it. Your window "trick" was coincidence or woke up the receiver.

That's about a 2 hour drive one way for me. Thanks for the offer though.

Got my key a couple days ago and went to a friends house last night to try to program it. I couldn't get the fob to program. My old one would reprogram. I reached out to the guy on ebay and he told me that I was not close enough to the receiver Anyone else have any issues?

Are you willing to do a tech II tool rental? Dealerships around here are asking $130

Not sure it would be all that cost effective to rent it, between a deposit and shipping it. I'm in Vegas and we travel a good bit. Nothing else planned till after the holidays.....


Check out locksmiths too. I will have to look for the site but I found one that lists the ones with a tech tool and they do programming. There was one shop in town I found after the fact

Takes a couple days for them to ship it but I remember reading that, and if you have questions they are a little slow on the responses (in chingrish) but it was at my door from mainland China in 3 days.........
