How to program a key fob for 1999 Cadillac Seville STS?

Found an extra GM keyfob I wanted to program for my car. I googled and had no luck with a couple of the procedures so I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it for the 99 Cadillac Seville?





I tried the put key in ignition with holding the unlock button and cycle on and off a few times then holding down the buttons on the fob but that didn't work.. so other methods is what I need. Thanks!|||That needs to be done with the GM dealers Tech2 Scan tool.





Unfortunately there is no "Do it yourself" programming methods.





It should only take them 5 minutes or so.





Also, Verify that the 8 digit part number on the back of the fob matches yours, if not it will not work.|||You need a scan tool like GM's Tech 2 (dealer scanner) or I think a Mastertech will do it too (Some aftermarket facilities use these).





Good Luck!|||1999 Cadillac Seville SLS V8-4.6L VIN Y
