KatCoulter Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hello, I seemed to have lost one of my key fob's for my 2010 SRX...how do i tell if the key fob i have is #1 or #2 or what number it is? Also, do you recommend buying a new key fob or can i buy a used key fob for an SRX and reprogram it to make it work? Thanks kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 On my STS-V remote the fob number is lightly imprinted on the top of the fob. When my fob came apart I took the pieces to the dealer and let them program a new one. Just as well as it turned out the module to be programmed needed replacement. That said, at the dealer fob was $189 as I recall and programming was $89. So there is plenty of saving available if you can grab a new fob on ebay and reprogram yourself. I don't have the procedure for programming the 2010 SRX in front of me but someone hopefully will share.

Texas Jim Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You DO NOT have to buy a NEW remote... Buy one from ebay or somewhere and program it yourself. Instruction are in post #3... Call a different dealership about the key. Here is a link to a new remote... http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?addtocart=1&addpartnumber=22865375&partnumber=20984227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 We needed a new remote for my wife's 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and were quoted $250. I got a *new* remote from an Internet seller and had it programmed at a locksmith. Cost was $40 for the remote and $10 to program it. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

jrose7004 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I have looked all over both of my remotes and absolutely can't find any numbers on them anywhere. Besides what would be the difference between the two other than your memory settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The memory settings is the difference between the fobs. The memory settings include seat positions, mirror positions,transmission shifting, and possibly other things. Check the "personalization" section in the owner's manual. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

airmike Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think the reason for the numbers is so you can pick the correct one if they were mixed up. I know a 6 ft man doesn't want to grab his 5'2" wifes fob and get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Jim Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Help me know where these little numbers might be found? My 2006 fobs DO NOT have numbers... The #1, #2, #3 etc are assigned by the car, to the fob, based on the order that they are programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmike Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have one with a 2 stamped into the rear of the case. Right in the center and its very obvious. The other does not have a number. I ordered replacements and they do not have numbers stamped on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 My 2011 fobs have a number stamped in the bottom. I expect that when you get a new one you assign it a number when you program it to the car an stamp it on the new fob. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

MrGeorgeJ Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hello everyone, my first post here. Looking for information. I recently purchased a used 2014 SRX from a dealer (not Cadillac) and it came with only one key fob, so I bought another one off eBay (same FCC ID numbers, etc) and I need to determine if 1. the eBay fob is defective or 2. it needs to somehow be reset to wipe it's memory. I've done all the usual stuff, replaced the battery, followed the programming instruction, even wiped all the previously know links to prior key fobs and re-linked the original fob to the car but the eBay fob is either dead or not seen by the car. One web site I found indicated the fob would need to be flashed and they want like $60 to do this but if it doesn't need to be done then this is a scam. Ya'll know any way to check a fob to see if it is alive or dead? I have access to oscilloscopes and a variety of test equipment but need to know what to look for, frequency, etc. Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGeorgeJ Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 BTW in regard to having the emergency key cut for a 2014 SRX, I took a blank I bought off eBay to my local Chevy dealer and gave him both the spare and the blank and they cut the blank for free in about 30 seconds. So paying for this service is optional. If the dealer wants an arm and both legs go to another GM dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmike Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Oreilly and probably others have a device that can check your fob. Its free. Can't tell if its programmed for your vehicle but can tell if its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGeorgeJ Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks airmike, I did not think of going to the auto parts store to see if they had a frequency meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I went to a locksmith once to have a fob I bought through a web site programmed for my wife's 1999 Pontiac Grand Am. The first thing the locksmith did is check the fob with his hand-held box, then he hooked the box to the OBD II connector and used it to program the car for the fob. The whole process was just a few minutes, even though he was unfamiliar with that model and had to ask me where the OBD port was, and look through the menus on his box to see if it was supported. It was inexpensive, too. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.
