This is a wrong link
That link is for a CR1632 battery.
Wrong battery, this is a link for a CR1632. Don't buy the battery linked here
Hi. I changed my battery a few weeks ago, and it was fine, but now my key hob is acting up. It looks like I have to replace that CR2016 again. How long is the life span of this battery?
Crazy, the Dealership told me that I would have to pay $100 for a whole new key. Paid 6$ for a new battery and all is well. You saved me $94. Defiantly subbing
What's worse is that they'll charge people $1000s for their internal coverage for that key and it'll cost a fraction of that to just get a new one yourself along with the battery.
Dealerships suck.
Dealerships are a bunch of crooks. I just changed my battery too. Cost me only $1.25 for a three pack of CR 2016 at the local dollar store.
never trust dealerships or politicians
Fantastic! Bought 20 batteries on Amazon for 6 bucks, and changed both FOBs in about 5 minutes. Thanks
Perfect video. Didn't take up a bunch of time talking about it, just got down to how it's done. Thank you very much!
I swear, I already tried these exact steps multiple times and the damn thing still wasn't working. Then I followed along with you, step by step, and like magic! it's working! Thank you!
WE ALL STRUGGLE LIKE THIS? I WAS LOOKING FOR THE SCREWS ON THE KEY BECAUSE THEY BEFORE HAD TWO SCREWS, AND NOW NOTHING, UNTIL I SAW THIS VIDEO AND DID IT STEP BY STEP, BUT I ADDED A CLEAR TAPE THE ONES I USE TO PACKING UPS SO THE REMOTE CONTROL BUTTONS DON'T COME LOOSE
My wife told me today she had a problem with her key and was thinking about taking it to the dealer to get the battery changed. I guess we saved time and money with this tutorial. It took no more than 15 mins. picking up a battery at a nearby store and replacing the old one. Thank you very much. Very useful and detailed tutorial.
I have followed your steps and replaced the battery in no time. Thank you
I am literally the worst at fixing anything and this was SO helpful. Saved me from having to pay. Thanks so much ❤️
Can’t believe anyone would want money for a simple task! Horrible
The battery for my 2017 Rav4 was a CR2032 and the reason I know this is because the last time I went to a car part place the salesman put it in for me and there were 2 in the package and I still had the 2nd battery. But thank you for your video as I couldn't remember how to take the key fob apart.
I'm hoping this is the same for my 2018 bc I already have a pack of those bc it's what my blood sugar monitor takes.
Thank you for the clear, concise instruction. I appreciate that you filmed up close with the white background for better viewing.
Did both fobs in less than 15 minutes, thanks to you! Hardest parts were finding a screwdriver with blade small enough, and getting the new batteries out of the "child secure" packaging....
Your tutorial was so simple! I worked at a dealership and know how valuable this video is. Ordered a sleeve of CR2016 from Amazon ($3 and change for a 5pack).Followed the steps...took me less than a minute. Took more time getting the battery out of its protective casing ;-) Posted on Facebook how your video helped. Just finished my other key. Only a matter of time before it dies. Thank you so much...Great Video.
MY KEY FOB BATTERY JUST DIED AND WALLAH, YOU VIDEO WAS HELPFUL. THANK YOU !!
Huge service your channel is providing, we are saving money and doing it ourselves. Thank you!!
Great video. Used coins (dime & nickel) to pop the cases. Replaced the battery in kind (expiration date was 2033) and reassembled. Works great and saved $244.99 from my local hardware store key maker. Dealer prices are $400+. Thanks again!! By the way I checked the new button battery voltage which was 3.3 volts so it was not past it's expiration date.
My friend's Toyota Rav 4 -2017 didn't take a CR 2016, but rather a CR 2032 was there. Simple enough, we got that one. Cool video, super simple and clear instructions.
Yes you're right!
Top notch video - No chaff and all information - Thanks for sharing!
I thought this was a special procedure only done at the dealer. Bad service advisor for sure! Thank you for including the RAV4 year range. U R D best. Thank you!!!!! 😊
Thank you.
Very well done with concise, detailed instructions and good camera angles and close ups.
I remember having problems years ago when changing this battery and I forgot about the buttons falling out. 👍
This was super concise and useful. Thx a ton!
My 2017 Rav 4's was only working like 30% of the time. You bailed me out from manual/old school door opening. Lol
Great clear video. It saved me some time trying to replace the battery without instructions. Thanks!
Thanks. I just went to the dollar store and purchased a pack of 3 batteries for $1.30. So it cost me $0.50 to change each of the fobs, instead of paying the dealer an arm and a leg. Oh, and I used the change (a dime) to open it.
I was able to successfully change out my batteries in both fobs. Very easy to follow. Thank you.
Still helpful years later! Clear and concise, great video.
Also don't forget to never throw batteries away. Most libraries and recycling centers will take them, or will at least know how to dispose off them properly!
changed the battery with a Duracell and it doesn't seem to be working. does the fob possibly need to be reprogrammed if the old battery had been dead for a while?
Edit: I took it apart again, and went to test just the battery-holding part. Battery may not have been fully seated. as I pressed each button I could feel the battery move. finally the car started to respond. reassembled and tested again successfully!
Thank you! This was a great video. I successfully changed my battery in less than 5 minutes. It took me longer to buy the battery!
1st time I paid,after this video no more. Thanks to you.
Thank you so much! Tutorial was clear and super easy to follow. You just saved me 60 bucks! 🎉🎉
that was easy, no need to panic after all. Thank you
Thanks - worked great. I did inadvertently turn it so the buttons fell out when I was reassembling, but it was easy to put them back. So if they fall out, don't panic :-)
Tutorial was excellent and easy to follow steps.
Thank you so much!
Wow, I also have the problem with the battery. This video helped me a lot.Thank you so much for uploading this video.
Great video tutorial - very clear and easy to follow. I was able to replace the battery for both fobs. Thank you.
Thank you for this video I have been putting this off for almost 6 months now.
great video thanks, it's always nice to be able to watch a short video for something like this.
The battery in one of my remotes died on my 2015 so I bought a two pack and changed both. After the change neither remote worked. The batteries I used were Duracell with the bitter childproof coating. Reading that other people were having issues with Duracell batteries, I switched to Energizers and both remotes worked perfectly. The Duracell’s had a use by date of 2031. I don’t know if I just got some bad ones or the coating had something to do with it, but they did not work at all. I did try cleaning the coating off with alcohol. The voltage was good at 3.2. I won’t be using Duracell’s anymore in remotes.
Thank you for showing this....turned out to be a lot easier than I thought.
Very helpful it took me 3:18 mnts to change my battery. thank you .
Short and to the point. Perfect.
first sign your rav4 is getting ,the key fob battery goes😆, great video!!
Thank you for showing in clear detail! Your directions are great! :)
Thanks to you, I changed it in 5 minutes or less! Bravo 🎉 thanks!
Easy instructions. Thank you so much. Very appreciative
You the man just what the doctor order ed clear and simple.
Much thanx for a clear and concise video.
Thank you! Just swapped out my battery watching this 😀
Yes. You talked me through it superbly. You are the car fob master! Thank you.
The video is simple and very helpful. Thanks for the advise!
Good and to the point. My 2013 Prius uses the exact same key fob and CR2016 battery.
$2.98 for mini screw driver at Home Depot, $6 gut TWO batteries, 3 min time. THANK YOU!!
Dollar store is even cheaper . I got a three pack of CR2016 for $1.25. Worked fine.
My 2917 rav took a CR2016. Thanks for the How-To video.
Mine too
Thanks, great tutorial direct and to the point.
Thanks. Clearly stated, great lighting, I appreciate both.
Awesome, quick and easy tutorial. It was very helpful, thanks.
You’re the GOAT, I appreciate you for this 🐐
I had trouble getting the battery in, but I finally did it. I had to push against 2 black things to slide it in! Now I will see if the battery works. It does! Hooray. Thank you.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Thanks for the instructive video.
Yeah I was able to change out the battery thanks to your detailed instructions!
This really helped thank you. Nice and short video no BS this was perfect
Thank you so much, this video was so straightforward and helpful!!! I have a 2020 but it was essentially the same.
He made it super quick and easy.
Thank you. I hope when I get out to my vehicle all will be well.
I am so so glad I found this video!. DONE! Thank you
Great, clear and calm video. Thank you so much, such a simple job when you know how to do it!
Thank you so much! This took no time at all.
Worked perfectly for me, thanks so much
YAY 🤩 I did it!
Excellent video, crystal clear…
Thanks!!
😉👍🏻
Awesome clip, thanks. Tried to replace my two button RAV4 fob but did not have CR2016 on hand. So CR2032 proved to be way too thick, but CR2025 fit somehow with a small effort (still a bit too thick). Anyway, success - remote is back in action with the higher battery capacity, thanks again
Thank you! Clear directions!
Great video! Perfectly describes and demonstrates the steps.
Thank you so much for sharing. Your video is really helpful I am so happy I can fixed the problem.
Wasn’t easy on mine but I did it. Thanks to your tutorial! Many thanks!!
Thank you. You made it simple to follow.
Thank you for this, My 2014 Rav4 i asked if they could change the batteries on mine at the dealership, here I am gullible thinking it would be free guy goes ahead and says it would cost $75 bucks, I was sooooo baffled by it $75 dollars but the batteries cost for 5 cr2016 at the local walgreens was like $2.45+ tax, that doesn’t justify 2 car keys $75 each 😂😂😂, greed.
That's awful. I worked at a tire shop though college and I would do them for free as long as the person had a battery on hand.
@ I know right now I know how to do it we dont need to pay for it.
This worked thanks so much for the great detail .
Thank you I thought I'd need to pay a dealer a fortune for another key ! I'll try it.
After replacing battery - the fob seems to require "reprogramming" to be recognized by the car -- various YT instructions have not worked -- do you know how to reset the fob? Thanks
Needed a CR2025 for 2015 rav4
You are the best. So clear in your instructions. Thank you so much. I like the way you went slowly step by step.
Excellent teacher.☆☆☆☆ I will subscribe
Thanks for making and sharing this video tutorial. Super helpful!
Good job with good views. Thanks!
Just what I needed. Great video.
God bless you!
Today i just exchanged battery myself!
Even tho it was 2025, 3V, but it works well! Thank you so much
Thanks for the video...VERY VERY helpful
Did it first try! thank you so much!
Toyota wanted $450 to replace the batteries and reprogram my key fob. I told them I can't pay that. I watched your video and replaced the batteries in both of my key fobs but neither one worked. Nothing wrong with manually locking and unlocking your car just wish that each door had a keyhole instead of just the driver door.
Thank you! That was so helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial, took like 1min lol
Excellent tutorial... thanks so much!!
Hey man...thanks for the walk through. Spot on

Super helpful. Thank you!

Thank you. Much appreciated 👍
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you VERY MUCH!!! I appreciate you, and God bless!!
Thank you. Worked great!
True story. Several weeks ago I asked my husband to please replace the (2016) RAV4 fob battery bc the remote was not working, and each time I had to manually insert the key to open the car and also could not set the car alarm. He opened up the key fob and said "Sorry honey, it's all digital and doesn't take a battery. We'll need to take it in to the dealer and get the key fob circuitry replaced, that's going to cost a lot of money." So yes we put that on the back burner. Fast forward to last week. I returned home one night and I came F2F w/ a mountain lion in our walkway after I'd gotten out and manually locked the car door. Like all the articles advise, I first tried making myself larger by opening my coat, raising my arms and yelling. The KITTY was unfazed. At that point ( Plan B went into effect) and I slowly backed away and put the RAV btwn myself and the KITTY. Then w/ shaking hands I fumbled to put the key into the car lock. It seemed as if an eternity passed before I opened the door and jumped into the RAV. When I looked again, the KITTY was gone. The next day I went to youtube and found your How2Video. I successfully replaced the battery and the fob works fine. I'm now looking for a NEW husband. Are you available????
😂😂😂 I'm available just in case😅
