Thanks so much for a very clear and straightforward video. Before this, I would have been wary of messing about with my car keys, but the method couldn't have been easier. I've changed the batteries in both my car keys and everything is now tickety-boo!
Word of caution (from own experience), when you fit in the coin battery, take care not to bend or "press down" the two metal contact pins located on the side (where the triangular looking plastic slot is). You are suppose to use the coin battery to "press against" the contact pins. Done incorrectly, you risk bending the contact pins "downwards" which may end up not contacting the battery, usual symptoms of this mishap is your will find that the immobiliser does not work, the keyless entry does not work, but the key still works if you place the key fob in the reader slot and start the car using the "emergency start" procedure.
I noticed that instructions in the manual also state that after the battery change the key needs to go into the dashboard slot to re-initialise it. I'll know today when I replace my battery 🤪 Sorry, I got this mixed up (senior moment) and the re-initialisation is only needed after car battery disconnection. Great, clear video which I checked as I changed the battery 👍
Thanks for this video; was quoted over £50 for the main dealer because they "required the code" before they could change the battery. Done in less than a minute and works perfectly.
Hi Imran, yes I think the problem is that some of the service staff who book in jobs mix up programming the immobiliser ( for which you need a code) and changing the key battery. Glad it worked out ok
@@TheCarKeyMan Thank you for the simple informative video. Just to clarify that there is no pairing or recoding required when changing the battery? Thanks
Using that key which comes out of the fob is so hard , no real purchase my girlfriend couldn’t turn it to open the door , is there any attachments for the detachable key to make it easier to use in the event of having to use it should the fob stop working ?
Hi, i have 2008 2020 model. I get key not detected on the instrument cluster. To start the engine i have to place the key against the emergency coil on the steering column. I have replaced the battery 2032. Key is able to lock and unlock car. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

I read too late
thank you for this. Had to replace a battery in my key fob today and this was the first video which came up and it was so simple to follow!!
Thanks for the feedback, really pleased it helped :)
Simple but reassuring to be able to follow someone who knows what they are doing
Thanks Ian :)

Amazing, thanks so much for this. I paid almost £20 to get my battery replaced. NEVER AGAIN
Eh! That is a complete ripp off. Was it at the dealer?
This is so helpful, really simple and straightforward. ...Also needed a tutorial about how to get the new battery out of the packaging 😂😉
Glad you got there in the end Anna :)
My actual key also stopped working! Why would that happen?
Excellent! Simple, clear instructions made replacing the fob battery a breeze! Thanks
Really helpful. As you showed it this was absolutely simple and easy but if you don't know how to do it, you are like child in the fog...
Thanks Tomasz, really appreciate your kind words :)
Spot on instructions and not excessively wrong for no reason.
Thanks for watching Julian

Really clear, informative and helpful video. Thank you
Good video can it be any battery as long as it’s the same size cheers
Hi, as long as you get the correct number you'll be fine, just buy a good quality one ;)
Great video. Any ideas on how to sync the key so the alarm doesn't go off after reconnecting battery?
Hi Martin, the key should just work, there isn't a resynch proceedure that I know of for this type of key
Thanks for a very clear guide 👍
Thanks for the feedback :)
Merci beaucoup monsieur, vous m’avez fait gagner le pari avec mon mari 😉

Looking for an original mk1 xsara picasso key,the first version.Seen plenty cheap copies on eBay but seems impossible to find an original.
I don't think you'll find one, unfortunately they changed the design
The Car Key Man ,many thanks for the reply.Yeah tried everywhere,if it had been the second version,no problem,they seem to very easy to find.
You are a Superman.

I have a picasso ll blue hdi 2013, and the keyless entry works only on the right side of the car... Can you help someone?
Hi, that's odd, sorry I have no idea why that would be! Have you put a decent battery in it?

Gracias hermano
You're welcome :)
Buen video gracias
Gracias por ver Javier
Why did you remove the key? Seems pointless.
Hi Simon, I usually take it out when doing a video. Lots of owners don't know there's an emergency blade inside. But you're right, I didn't need to
@@TheCarKeyMan I shouldn't have started with a negative I actually used the advice in the video to replace a battery earlier today. Thanks for the tip
No worries, thanks for watching :)
Thx nice 😘
You're welcome Andreas :)
Super facil..graciS
You're welcome :)
Thanks sir
You're welcome, thanks for the feedback :)
Great but there’s no need at all to remove the key! So it’s just one step, not two 🤔
Hi Luis, yes I agree, I always take it out and show people because many car owners don't know it's hidden away inside
