Radio Personalization (If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which RKE
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After the unlock
button is pressed on the RKE transmitter or the ignition
key is placed in the ignition,
the radio settings will
automatically adjust to where they were last set. The
settings can also be changed by briefly pressing the
memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
Your Cadillac has a “built-in” theft-deterrent feature on
each radio that is automatic

required. The radio in your Cadillac cannot be used in
any other vehicle besides another Cadillac if
it were to
be removed.
