4 years after this video was uploaded I've just used it to change the battery in my Nissane X-Trail key fob. Nissan dealership quoted me, wait for it.......£287 to do this claiming key fob would need "coded" after the battery was renewed. Robbing Ba$&@$#!. Many thanks to the uploader !!!
Really glad it worked for you. I’ve walked in and out of so many dlrs, after their quotes. There are so many DIY jobs on cars, that dlrs see as easy money. That’s a Horrible quote, they gave you. About time these car makers took jobs like this on the chin and look after the customer. Thanks for watching .👍
Today i washed my clothes and my qashqai's key was in my throusers pocket. It was 30C, 30 minutes program. With this video i learned how to open it. So that i dried its inner side. This video is very helpful. Thank you very much. My smart key is stil working. There was totally 1,5-2 drops of water in it. I dried it by means of a cotton swab and hair drier. So watchers of this video, please do not panic, if you get into the same situation like me in the future.
I was fascinated to see a low battery warning on the dash and was hopeful that i could change the fob battery without issue. I even had a spare 2032 battery!! Thanks for a straightforward and useful video. Really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks very much for such a useful video. It isn't obvious where to use the screwdriver on the case of the fob. And you even showed what type of battery is needed. Cheers!
Thank you...just used your video on my 2018 new car and it worked a dream. First time put the battery in back to front and second time worked a dream. Thank you
Excellent video, thank you. Warning light came up on the dash and thought I would have to go to the dealership but your precise and clear instructions and video did the trick 👍
Thank you very much,my key fob has been a bit hit and miss for a while but I didn't have a clue how to access the battery.Good video with easy to follow instructions. 👍
Thank you for this video, I have managed to change the battery in the fob but can't test it yet as my wife is out in the car doing MORE shopping!!!!!!!! Will test it the minute she returns. Only bought the car yesterday and both fobs were tied together so the car recognised the good one but as soon as we got home and took a fob each, of course I got the duff one! Hopefully your video will have sorted it. Thank you again. Dave.
Thanks for your video. I just changed my battery. I was actually not sure that it needed changing, because although the close range 'keyless' door lock and ignition were not working, the remote still opened car from afar. Still everything works fine now, so I guess, for some reason, the near range functions need a better condition battery than the far range.
Paul Blampspied it always makes sense to change the battery first. These keyless ignition cars demand a lot of power from the battery. It seems to be a common issue. Thanks for watching
my 2016 Leaf has a similar looking key but the battery inside was a CR2025. so it might be worth checking before running to the store to buy one. luckily i have a pack that has all sorts of button shaped batteries inside. but yeah, annoying low key battery warning gone wo having to pay anyone a dime to replace it. thanks for the video.
Thank you, nightmare averted.. I will make my first haircut since February tomorrow (if reading this in the distant future half the world has been locked in their home for 4-5 months!).

And it just saved me now too thanks

Hi thank you even 5 years since you posted this video .
Seems to be timeless, thanks for watching.🙏
Thanks a million for that demo. I thought the key was a sealed unit and a replacement cost would be quite expensive.
You’re welcome, really glad it helped.👍👍
Really handy and simple to follow, saved what I thought would have to be a trip to the dealership. Thank you very much
Great to hear, glad it helped.👍
Super efficient guide. Replaced mine in real-time just following your steps. Lovely video

Spot on mate, so simple but not what it shows in the handbook. Was worried about breaking it until I watched this. Many thanks.
You’re very welcome, glad it helped.👍👍
Thanks very much for such a useful video. It isn't obvious where to use the screwdriver on the case of the fob. And you even showed what type of battery is needed. Cheers!
Glad you got something from it. Thanks for watching.👍👍👍
Many thanks for this video, it is very much appreciated. A local Nissan dealer charged £21.94 to change a battery in December 2016.
Jolly Rog Ford wanted to charge my daughter £27 to change a brake bulb. Really glad this helped you out.👍👍👍
Very helpful, thank you. I never even new there was a proper key hidden in the fob, doh!
Very well explained!!!……i would NEVER have discovered how to open the holder…!!!……THANKS SO MUCH….!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank yooooooou.... Nissan wanted 20 quid off me to do this. 👏💪😁
Crazy isn’t it. They should do it for free.
With my experience of Nissan its all about ripping people off. Scare tactics so you have the work done with them.
Thank you, very straight forward once you know how. You explained it perfectly 👍
You’re welcome.🙏
Thank you. I was able to change the battery! Thanks again.
Excellent, thanks... this helped me not crack the plastic...

Yours is possible a different set up, requiring a different battery. Mines from the factory. Always worth checking owners manual first.👍
Great video, very helpful thanks.

Thank you, nightmare averted.. I will make my first haircut since February tomorrow (if reading this in the distant future half the world has been locked in their home for 4-5 months!).
Paul Benwell I think there will be a lot of dead key fobs, when people eventually venture out. Hope the haircut goes well.👍👍👍
@@drivewaydiyer6504 Weirdly I had been using my car regularly. Anyway thanks again all fine now with 2 new batteries.
