When
a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from the
key. The plug has a code on it that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. However, the ignition key does not have a knock
out plug. The ignition key has a bar code tag attached to it. Your dealer or
qualified locksmith, by reading the bar code
tag, can then make your key.
