Review on Keyless Remote Control Cadillac M3N5WY777A by Andrew Walton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works but came with a dead battery. Had to hunt wild geese

Powered by 08 CTS with rotating ignition knob. I went through the 30 minute programming guide I found online, but when I tried the buttons on the remote after I finished programming, nothing worked! So I put the remote back into the slot in the console and the car started. So I thought maybe I did something wrong and went through the 30 minute programming again to investigate the possibility that I bought the wrong one. After a second attempt at programming with the same result (the car only recognizes the fob when it is in the slot), I remembered that I had seen an instructional video on YouTube that said the car would recognize the fob in the slot, even if that were the case his battery was dead. , smart, at least you're not stranded when the battery dies, there should be a message somewhere telling you that. Anyway, I had another Traverse remote with the same battery, changed the batteries and voila. Just came with a dead battery. Update: I was just assuming the remote only worked as it should because the buttons work, but the car still only starts with the key fob in the slot.

Pros
  • Automobile
Cons
  • Minor repairability
