I upgraded to a '97 CL600 and I can't program it! Unfortunately Matt lives 1500 miles from me!

It could be related to build date. I have two 97 E420's that are very early production and they have the red-light visor that doesn't work with rolling codes. However, I also have another 97 E420 that is a very late build (06/97 production, almost overlapping 1998 model year) and that one has the amber-light visor that does work with rolling codes. I don't know if a previous owner upgraded the visor, or if the late style visor was phased into production late in the 1997 model year.
It would be interesting to check the build dates (month/year) on the VIN tag in the driver door jamb, on each of your CL's. And, see what color the LED is on each as well.
