About XLR Keys
Verified key reference for the Cadillac XLR — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS / XLR | 2004–2009 | Remote-head key | Philips Crypto 2 / Hitag2 / ID46 (PCF7936) | B111 / HU100 |
| XLR | 2004-2009 | Philips Crypto 2/Hitag2/ID46 | — | PCF7936 equivalent |
Security System & Immobilizer
Cadillac pioneered VATS resistor keys and moved through PassKey and PK3 transponders to ID46 keys and today’s proximity fobs.
On the XLR specifically we see: Philips Crypto 2 / Hitag2 / ID46 (PCF7936). A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Cadillac XLR Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my XLR. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.
Will a hardware-store copy start my XLR?
On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
