Cadillac Deville Key Types and Programming

Keys for the Cadillac Deville have evolved from simple metal keys to high-security system keys. Understanding the type of key your Cadillac Deville requires is crucial for cutting and programming.

Cadillac Key Cutting

  • 1970-1989 Models: These models use traditional metal keys that can be duplicated at most hardware stores or by any locksmith company. Lost keys can be replaced using the key code stamped on the ignition lock or by taking a door or trunk lock to a locksmith.

Cadillac VATs Keys

  • 1990-1999 Models: These models are equipped with the VAT key system. Replacing or duplicating these keys requires a locksmith to determine the correct VAT key number, which ranges from 1-16.

Cadillac Chip Key

  • 2000-2005 Models: These models use a transponder key with a chip that communicates wirelessly with the car’s immobilizer. Cutting the key is just the first step; it must also be programmed to the car. If your car doesn’t start even though the engine cranks, the key chip might not be programmed correctly or may have malfunctioned. A locksmith or Cadillac dealership can program or reprogram the key for you.
