justfish89 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Can anyone tell me if the battery and battery cap from a '95 Cadillac keyless remote (with the triangular lock / unlock buttons) will fit the keyless remote for my '90 Reatta ? I've lost the battery cap for my spare remote and I don't want to pay the "going rate" for a used one for a Reatta . Any help would be greatly appreciaied .

Smokey15 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 If the Caddy remote works just use it with the Reatta. I use a Caddy remote with my Reatta. It was very easy to sync following the instructions that can be found on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mgibson Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 They will not interchange. I have both Buick and Cadillac and just checked them. The locking tabs are designed differently---Buick has four and Cadillac has three (see attachment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish89 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 smokey15 , I DON'T HAVE A '95 CADDY REMOTE TO PROGRAM AND USE , IF I DID , I WOULD KNOW IF THE BACKS WERE INTERCHANGABLE-------WOULDN'T I !!!! I SIMPLY NEED A BATTERY COVER AND HAVE NO DESIRE TO PAY THE "GOING PRICE" FOR A REATTA REMOTE IF A BATTERY CAP FROM A '95 CADDY REMOTE , WHICH I CAN GET FOR MUCH LESS ON EBAY , WILL WORK .MGibson , IS THE CADILLAC BATTERY COVER YOU ILLUSTRATE FROM A REMOTE THAT'S THE SAME SIZE AND SHAPE AS THE REATTA REMOTE WITH THE ONLY DIFFERENCE , IN THE TWO , BEING THE SHAPE OF THE LOCK / UNLOCK BUTTONS ?

Guest mgibson Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I think the answer is yes, but! Please see attachment and hopefully, this will make sense. The "Cadillac 1" and the "Buick" are the two remotes from which I showed the battery covers in the earlier post above. The "Cadillac 1" is black with triangular buttons and has "Cadillac" in script on the front. This remote will work on Reattas/Rivieras. The other remote "Cadillac 2" is totally identical to the Buick remote except for the Cadillac crest instead of a Buick shield. Both the "Buick" and "Cadillac 2" are gray. It will work on Reattas/Rivieras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
