This 2020-2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob supports all the functions most owners expect:

  • Product Information:
  • FCC ID: YG0G20TB1

I manufacturer this remote to match OEM-style performance while keeping the design clean, durable, and reliable for everyday use.

Who This YG0G20TB1 / 13538864 / 4008C-G20TB1 Key Is For

This YG0G20TB1 Cadillac keyless entry remote is ideal if:

  • You lost a key or want a spare 2020-2024 Escalade smart key
  • Your original 13538864 Escalade key fob case, buttons, or electronics are worn out
  • You want a GM smart proximity key replacement that works like OEM without dealer pricing
  • You need a verified 433MHz Escalade smart key that your locksmith or dealer can program

As long as your Escalade uses push-to-start and your current fob matches YG0G20TB1 / 4008C-G20TB1 / 433MHz, this is the correct style.

How This Keylessbest Remote Compares to OEM

Functionally, this Keylessbest Cadillac Escalade key is built to mirror the dealer fob:

  • Same frequency and chip type (433MHz + ID49 Philips Crypto)
  • Same 6-button layout and proximity features
  • Same HU100 emergency key blade style (test key)
  • Pre-installed CR2450 battery and full internal electronics

The main difference is price and convenience: you get an OEM-style Escalade key fob that your locksmith or dealer can program, without paying full dealership markup.

Why a 6-Button Escalade Proximity Key Matters

On a large SUV like the Escalade, the 6-button proximity key isn’t just about looks—it’s daily convenience:

  • Remote Start: pre-cool or pre-heat the cabin before you get in
  • Hatch & Glass buttons: open the power liftgate or just the rear glass for quick loading
  • Panic: fast access to the alarm in crowded lots or emergencies
  • Proximity Unlock: walk up, pull the handle, and go—no need to fumble for the key

If you rely on remote start, rear access, and true keyless go, using the correct Cadillac Escalade proximity key 6-button design is critical for keeping all factory features working as intended.

Key Features of the YG0G20TB1 2020-2024 Cadillac Escalade Smart Key Fob

I built this 2020-2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob to match OEM performance, but at a better value for U.S. owners who want a clean, hassle-free replacement.

  • Keyless entry: Walk up, grab the handle, and it unlocks when the fob is nearby.
  • Push-to-start: Keep the fob in your pocket or bag and start your Escalade with the start button.
  • Keyless Go convenience: No more digging for keys every time you get in or out.

6-Button Layout That Matches Your Daily Use

The 6-button design is set up just like your original OEM Cadillac Escalade remote:

  • Lock – Secure your Escalade with one press.
  • Unlock – Quick access for driver or all doors (depending on vehicle settings).
  • Remote Start – Start the engine from a distance to pre-heat or cool the cabin.
  • Panic – Sound the alarm in an emergency or to locate the vehicle.
  • Hatch – Open the power liftgate remotely.
  • Glass – Control the rear glass independently for quick access.

Secure ID49 Philips Crypto Transponder

Inside the fob is an ID49 Philips Crypto (HITAG PRO) chip, which handles the immobilizer security:

  • Works with GM/Cadillac anti-theft systems for 2020-2024 Escalade.
  • Only a properly programmed key will start the engine.
  • Designed to match OEM-level encryption and reliability.

433MHz Long-Range Signal

We use a 433MHz board tuned for the Escalade platform:

  • Strong, consistent range for locking, unlocking, and remote start.
  • Less drop-out and better response in parking lots and around buildings.
  • Each unit is tested for signal strength and button response before it leaves our facility.

If you’re not sure how to match the frequency, FCC ID, or part number to your original fob, you can follow the same process we show in our part number location guide.

Pre-Installed Battery & Complete Electronics

You don’t have to build anything:

  • CR2450 battery already installed
  • Full internal electronics pre-mounted
  • Ready for your locksmith or dealer to program to your 2020-2024 Cadillac Escalade

OEM-Style Construction From Keylessbest

We make this Cadillac Escalade 6-button proximity key to feel like what came from the dealer:

  • Solid-weight housing that doesn’t feel cheap or hollow
  • Buttons with firm, tactile feedback
  • Durable shell designed for daily U.S. use—commutes, school runs, work fleets, and road trips

This is an aftermarket replacement, not a used or refurbished key, built to deliver OEM-style quality and function for your Escalade at a more reasonable cost.

Compatibility for 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade Owners

This 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob is built specifically for the latest Escalade and Escalade ESV with push-to-start.

Supported Escalade Models (2020–2024)

This Cadillac Escalade proximity key is compatible with:

  • 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade
  • 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Your SUV must be equipped with keyless go / push-button start and a 433MHz Escalade smart key from the factory.

OEM Part Numbers Replaced

Our Keylessbest Cadillac Escalade key is designed as a direct replacement for these GM OEM part numbers:

  • 13538864
  • 13541571
  • 13546300

If your original fob shows any of these numbers on the back label or inside the shell, this 13538864 Escalade key fob replacement is the right match.

Correct FCC ID and IC Numbers

To avoid buying the wrong remote, always match the ID numbers. This fob uses:

  • FCC ID: YG0G20TB1
  • IC: 4008C-G20TB1

Your original Cadillac Escalade smart key fob should show YG0G20TB1 and 4008C-G20TB1 to ensure proper pairing and full function.

HU100 Emergency Blade Compatibility

This 6‑button Cadillac Escalade push to start key uses a HU100 emergency key blade:

  • Standard GM HU100 test key profile
  • Works with most U.S. locksmith key-cutting machines
  • Blade is usually uncut and needs to be cut to your door/ignition

If you’ve used older GM remotes before, this HU100 setup is similar to what you’d find on other GM key fob styles from Keylessbest.

How to Confirm Your Key Fob Before Ordering

Before you order this aftermarket Escalade keyless remote, double-check:

  • Model & Year: Your SUV is a 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade or Escalade ESV
  • FCC ID: Must match YG0G20TB1
  • IC: Must match 4008C-G20TB1
  • Part Number: One of 13538864, 13541571, 13546300
  • Frequency: 433MHz (printed on the tag or confirmed by a locksmith/dealer)
  • Buttons: 6-button layout — Lock, Unlock, Remote Start, Panic, Hatch, Glass

If any of these don’t match your current fob, reach out to your local automotive locksmith or dealer with your VIN to confirm fitment before you buy. This quick check saves time, programming fees, and returns.

Technical Specs for 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade Proximity Key Buyers

If you’re shopping a replacement 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob, here’s the key tech info you actually need to know—short and to the point.

433MHz Frequency – Why It Matters

This Cadillac Escalade proximity key runs on 433MHz, which is what GM uses on 2020–2024 Escalade and Escalade ESV in the U.S. market.

Why frequency matters:

  • Your fob must match the vehicle frequency or it will not program.
  • 433MHz gives strong range and stable signal for lock, unlock, and remote start.
  • It helps cut down on interference in crowded places like garages, malls, or stadium parking lots.

Always match your new fob’s frequency to your original key. If your current remote is different than 433MHz, this one isn’t the right match.

ID49 (HITAG PRO) Chip & Immobilizer Security

Inside this YG0G20TB1 Cadillac keyless entry remote is an ID49 (HITAG PRO) Philips Crypto transponder chip.

What that does for you:

  • Talks directly to your Escalade’s immobilizer so the SUV can actually start.
  • Uses encrypted communication, making it very hard to clone or bypass.
  • If the chip isn’t correctly recognized, the engine will not stay running—even if the key looks correct.

This is what keeps your Escalade from being started with just any random fob.

6 Button Functions – Everyday Controls

This 6-button Cadillac Escalade key fob is laid out for real daily use:

Button Function
Lock Locks all doors and arms the factory security system
Unlock Unlocks doors; first press driver, second for all
Panic Sounds horn/lights for emergencies or finding vehicle
Hatch Opens/closes the power liftgate
Glass Opens the rear glass independently
Remote Start Starts the engine from a distance (if enabled)

This is the standard Cadillac Escalade 6-button proximity key layout for 2020–2024.

Keyless Go & Proximity Unlock – Simple Explanation

With this Cadillac Escalade push to start key, you don’t have to pull the fob out of your pocket or bag:

  • Proximity unlock: Walk up with the fob on you, touch the door handle, and the doors unlock.
  • Keyless Go / push-to-start: Step on the brake and press the START/STOP button to start the engine.
  • No metal key turning in the ignition—everything is done by wireless communication between the SUV and the smart key.

As long as the YG0G20TB1 fob is inside the vehicle, you can start and drive your Escalade.

Brand-New, Fully Assembled, and Tested

Our Keylessbest Cadillac Escalade key is built as a ready-to-use unit:

  • Brand-new shell, electronics, and ID49 chip (no refurb, no used boards).
  • CR2450 battery pre-installed, so your locksmith can program it right away.
  • Fully assembled with the correct 433MHz radio board and tested for:
    • Signal strength
    • Button response
    • Proper transponder communication

If you’re also running other GM smart keys in your household, you can see how we configure and spec similar remotes by checking a comparable GM smart proximity key replacement like our Dodge Ram 1500 keyless entry remote for reference on build quality and testing standards.

Programming the 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade Smart Key Fob

Why this Escalade proximity key isn’t a DIY job

The 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob (YG0G20TB1 / 13538864 / 4008C-G20TB1) uses a 433MHz signal and an ID49 Philips Crypto (HITAG PRO) immobilizer chip. That means the key isn’t just “paired” with the car – it’s coded into your Escalade’s anti-theft system.
Because of that, this is not a plug‑and‑play or YouTube DIY situation. You need security access, GM software, and the right tools to avoid locking out your vehicle or corrupting the immobilizer data.

Who can program it: locksmith vs Cadillac dealer

You have two realistic options in the U.S.:

  • Automotive locksmith
    • Must be experienced with GM / Cadillac proximity keys
    • Usually cheaper and more flexible on scheduling
    • Can come to your home, office, or roadside
  • Cadillac dealer
    • Uses factory GM tools and software
    • Typically the highest price but very predictable process

As long as your locksmith specializes in GM smart proximity keys, they can program this 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade key fob just like they would a dealer OEM remote or other GM smart keys, such as compatible Cadillac XT series key fobs from Keylessbest.

What tools the pros use

Pros use dedicated GM programming gear, for example:

  • OEM‑level GM diagnostic tools (Techline / SPS / similar)
  • Immobilizer and key programming software with security login
  • OBD2 interface to your Escalade
  • Key tester to verify 433MHz frequency and ID49 chip response

This equipment lets them add the new YG0G20TB1 Cadillac keyless entry remote safely without wiping out your existing keys (unless a full reset is needed).

Step‑by‑step overview of professional pairing

Every shop has its own routine, but the process usually looks like this:

  1. Verify the key – Confirm FCC ID YG0G20TB1, IC 4008C‑G20TB1, and correct 433MHz frequency.
  2. Connect to vehicle – Plug into your Escalade’s OBD2 port and open GM key programming software.
  3. Security access – Log into the GM security system to access immobilizer/key data.
  4. Add or replace key
    • Choose “Add key” if you’re keeping your existing fobs
    • Choose “All keys lost” if no working key is available (takes longer)
  5. Program the ID49 chip – The system writes your Escalade’s unique code into the smart key’s HITAG PRO chip.
  6. Program remote functions – Lock, Unlock, Panic, Hatch, Glass, and Remote Start buttons are synced.
  7. Test everything – Proximity unlock, push‑to‑start, hatch/glass release, remote start, and panic all get checked.

The whole process usually takes 15–40 minutes depending on whether you still have at least one working key.

How many Escalade keys can be active

Most 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models can store up to 8 smart keys at once. Your pro can:

  • Add this new Keylessbest fob as an extra key
  • Delete lost or stolen keys from memory
  • Reorganize which keys are active so only the ones you actually use stay in the system

Common programming issues and how to avoid them

Here are the problems I see most often — and how to sidestep them:

  • Wrong frequency or FCC ID
    • Make sure your original fob is 433MHz with FCC YG0G20TB1 / IC 4008C‑G20TB1 before ordering.
  • Dead or weak battery during programming
    • Use a fresh CR2450 battery and keep a charger on the vehicle if needed.
  • Using a general mechanic instead of a key pro
    • Not all shops have GM key access. Always ask if they program GM smart proximity keys regularly.
  • All keys lost but booked as a simple add‑key job
    • Tell your locksmith/dealer upfront if you have zero working keys. The process and price are different.
  • Interference from other keys
    • Keep other smart keys away from the vehicle during programming so the system only sees the key being added.

If you confirm your Escalade’s specs first and let a qualified automotive locksmith or Cadillac dealer handle the programming, this 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob from Keylessbest will work just like an OEM dealer key – full proximity, push‑to‑start, and all 6 buttons active.

Installation and Everyday Use Tips for Your 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade Smart Key Fob

How to swap to your new Escalade smart key

Switching to your new 2020–2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob is simple once it’s programmed:

  • Have a pro program the YG0G20TB1 / 13538864 key to your Escalade first.
  • Test Lock, Unlock, Remote Start, Hatch, Glass, and Panic while standing near the SUV.
  • Keep your old fob as backup for a few days until you’re sure the new 433MHz Escalade smart key works perfectly.
  • Store the old fob at home, not in the vehicle, so the immobilizer and security system stay effective.

Using and storing the HU100 emergency blade

This Cadillac Escalade proximity key uses an HU100 test key / emergency blade:

  • Make sure the HU100 emergency key blade is cut by a local locksmith to match your door lock.
  • Keep the blade locked inside the fob or in a safe spot in your wallet or bag.
  • If the battery dies, use the emergency blade to manually unlock the driver door, then start the vehicle by holding the fob near the push-button start (check your owner’s manual for the exact spot).

Best practices for remote start, hatch, and glass buttons

To get the most from this 6‑button Cadillac Escalade remote:

  • Remote Start:
    • Make sure the vehicle is locked first.
    • Press the lock button, then press and hold the remote start button (circle/arrow icon) until the lights flash.
    • Use it in open, ventilated areas only—never in a closed garage.
  • Hatch:
    • Press and hold the hatch button to open/close the power liftgate.
    • Stand clear of the back to avoid blocking the motion sensors.
  • Glass:
    • Use the glass button to pop just the rear glass when you don’t need the full hatch open.
    • Handy for quick grocery drops or tailgating without swinging the full door.

Avoid “button mashing.” Hold each button cleanly for 1–2 seconds so the Cadillac keyless entry remote doesn’t send mixed signals.

Protecting your Cadillac remote from drops and water

To keep your Cadillac Escalade smart key fob in good shape:

  • Use a silicone or hard shell cover to absorb drops and protect the buttons.
  • Don’t leave the key on the dashboard or in direct sun for long periods—heat can damage the electronics and CR2450 battery.
  • Avoid water, rain, or washing machines. If it gets wet, remove the battery, dry everything thoroughly, and replace the battery.
  • If you run multiple GM smart keys (for example, with a Chevy smart key fob from Keylessbest), keep them on separate rings to prevent accidental button presses.

Signs your Escalade key fob needs service or reprogramming

Watch for these common signs that your Cadillac Escalade key fob replacement needs attention:

  • You have to stand closer than usual for the 433MHz signal to work.
  • Some buttons (remote start, hatch, or glass) work only sometimes or feel “mushy.”
  • The vehicle doesn’t recognize the proximity key unless you hold it right up to the start button.
  • You see a “No Remote Detected” or similar warning on the dash.
  • The CR2450 battery has been replaced and you still have issues.

If you notice any of this, replace the battery first. If problems continue, have an automotive locksmith or Cadillac dealer check the ID49 Philips Crypto chip and reprogram or test the remote.

Locksmiths are familiar with the YG0G20TB1 / 13538864 setup and typically pair it in one visit.

How do I replace the CR2450 battery safely?

The 2020-2024 Cadillac Escalade smart key fob uses a CR2450 coin battery.

Basic steps:

  1. Remove the HU100 emergency key blade.
  2. Gently pry the case at the seam with a plastic tool.
  3. Note battery orientation (+ side up).
  4. Swap in a new CR2450 battery.
  5. Snap the shell back together firmly.

Avoid using metal tools that can crack the shell or damage the board. If you’re not comfortable opening remotes, a local locksmith, dealer, or even some jewelry/watch counters can swap batteries for you.


What about warranty, returns, and if the key won’t program?

Here’s how I handle it on my side as the seller:

  • Warranty: Covers defects in materials and internal electronics (not abuse or water damage).
  • If it won’t program:
    • First, confirm the programmer is using correct GM software and picked the right part number.
    • Confirm your vehicle is 2020–2024 Escalade/ESV and your original fob matches YG0G20TB1 / 4008C-G20TB1.
  • Returns: If a locksmith or dealer certifies it as non-programmable/defective, contact support with:
    • Vehicle year/model
    • Programming invoice or note
    • Photos of the fob front/back

We’ll work with you on a replacement or refund based on the situation.

If your household has several Cadillac Escalade smart key fobs in use:

  • Label each fob so you know which one belongs to which driver.
  • Store spare keys in a safe, dry place away from direct sun and moisture.
  • Keep extra keys away from the vehicle when parked at home so the truck doesn’t stay “awake” and drain the battery.
