  1. Press the tiny release button located on the side of the key fob case. You just have to press the button, and the case should open, revealing the physical metal key. 
  2. Remove the metal key by pulling it gently from the fob.
  3. Upon removing the key, you should see a small opening in which you will poke a small flat head screwdriver. Gently pry to separate the side of the case.
  4. Inside, you should see the circuit board on one side and the Cadillac key fob battery on the other. 
  5. Remove the old battery and carefully pop in the replacement battery. You may have to use the screwdriver to pop the old battery out. 
  6. When placing the new battery in the fob, make sure the positive side is facing down into the fob housing.
  7. Afterward, just pop the case back together, and you’re ready to take advantage of the popular features of your Cadillac key fob once again!

NOTE: Proper Battery Size | CR-2032

Like many manufacturers, the Cadillac key fob battery replacement requires a CR-2032 battery, which you can find at most Apex electronics and hardware stores, and usually at your local pharmacy-convenience store. Using an improper battery could damage your Cadillac key fob, so be sure to verify the battery size you’re about to use as a replacement.
