How to Disassemble a Cadillac CT6 Key?
3 Answers
To disassemble a Cadillac CT6 key, the method is as follows: Forcefully pry open the outer shell of the key to reveal the internal electronic integrated circuit chip. Below is a partial introduction to the Cadillac CT6: 1. Exterior: The design style is full of family identity. 2. Interior: Adopts the premium design of the Cadillac family. 3. Configuration: Comes standard with five airbags and other basic equipment.
Just did the CT6 key disassembly myself, pretty straightforward. Use a coin or thin plastic piece to pry open from the gap on the back of the key - gently lift upwards, avoid metal tools to prevent scratching. Once half-opened you'll see four corner clips, don't force it or the plastic may crack. Inside is the CR2032 coin battery compartment (FYI DIY replacement costs $0.7 vs $30 at dealership). When reassembling, align the rubber button gaskets properly or the lock button won't click. Whole process takes 5 minutes - easier than phone disassembly.
A few days ago, my wife's car key ran out of battery, so I found some tools to open the CT6 key. The key point is not to damage the shell. I used a small screwdriver for repairing glasses, slowly turning along the gap near the metal key head, avoiding forcing it open from the middle. The internal structure is actually very simple: circuit board + battery + button membrane. The battery model is CR2032, which can be bought at any supermarket. Be careful not to lose the spring plate—once after disassembly, I found the trunk button wasn’t working because the spring plate was misaligned. Now, I always prepare a new battery before starting to avoid opening it only to find no battery and wasting effort. After finishing, test the unlocking distance—it should work within ten meters to be considered successful.
