2009 Cadillac DTS Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got a call from a woman in the Winding Walk neighborhood of Chula Vista. She had been trying to start her 2009 DTS for about twenty minutes before she called me. The engine would turn over fine, run for a second, and then cut out. Every time, same thing. She figured it was a fuel issue or maybe the battery, and she had already called her regular mechanic before she called me.
I asked her one question: had she recently had a key copied anywhere, like a hardware store or a grocery kiosk? Long pause. She said yes, a few weeks back, just as a spare.
That was it. The copy she had cut worked mechanically, meaning it turned the lock cylinder fine, but the transponder chip in the duplicate had never been enrolled in her immobilizer. She had been using that copy without realizing it, and the original key was somewhere in the house. When she grabbed what she thought was her key that morning, she grabbed the unenrolled copy.
I drove out to Winding Walk, verified the situation, and pulled up her original key from her purse where it had been sitting for a month. Original key started the car on the first try. Then I enrolled the copy properly through the OBD port so she actually had two working keys going forward instead of one real key and one expensive paperweight.
She was back inside within forty minutes of my arrival. The dealer would have had her tow the car in, run diagnostics, and probably not figured out the copy situation until they had already billed her for the diagnostic time. She saved a good chunk just by having someone come to her driveway.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
