Because this is a Cadillac you can call Cadillac Roadside Assistance at 1 800 224 1400 and they'll be able to help you. Because the vehicle is out of warranty you'll have to pay for the service call if you have them send someone out. But it'll be cheaper than a locksmith! Hope that helps!
You should probably call AAA. In the meantime look for a trunk release inside the car.
There should be a trunk release button either on the dash or in the glove box. I'm not sure if the tops of the back seats fold down or not. On my 98 aurora the middle of the back seat has cup holders but the piece behind it folds down. As long as the trunk isn't full of stuff you should be able to get to the keys.
While Cadillac key codes are available back to 1903, with some exceptions such as 1968 and 1973, good luck trying to get them for a vehicle more than 15 years old. After 15 years the key codes are no longer active in the computer system and are archived. Allied Vaughn has access to them but it will practically take an act of God to get them. In 2010 I was able to get the key codes for a 67 Fleetwood that I'd bought without keys. But it was a three day flight with two local Cadillac Dealers! I was finally able to get my local Chevrolet Dealer to cooperate with me and Allied Vaughn to get me the key codes. With this being a 24 year old vehicle I wouldn't bother with the Cadillac Dealer. I doubt they'll be any help at all! Jim
