@@TheCarKeyMan Thanks for this tutorial video. We followed it step-by-step to make sure we took the key fob apart,changed the battery and put it all together again correctly,and it worked a treat. Unfortunately there appears to be something iffy about the little screw in our particular key fob - I had a devil of a job getting it to come out as at first it was stuck fast,and now it won't engage with the thread to go back in however much I try,and I was being very careful not to damage the thread.
Thanks very much for this clear instruction and taking the time to film it - this is the same type of key as is used in my 2010 Honda CRV. The battery ran out on my spare key years ago and has lain in the drawer ever since. This gave me the confidence to source the correct type (CR1616 £3.99 for two off Amazon) and fit it avoiding any future problems if the other key battery ran out. Appreciated.
What an easy to follow video. Without it I would not have been able to change the battery. There are far more bits to it than on my other Honda key. Thanks again.
Excellent! I spent quite a bit of time searching and kept getting US sites with a different fob, which was of no help. This was exactly what I was looking for and it's a great help. Cheers from Down Under.
Same key as the UK made 2012-15 Civic. Looked for ages for this video, as could figure out how to open the battery module. Many thanks for your help...ended up being so simple!
Excellent. Exactly the same key as mine, worked a treat. I was stuck at first because, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get that little screw to budge. Eventually after the application a of a little WHITE VINEGAR the screw came out easy-peezy.
@@TheCarKeyMan I had previously tried the obvious - WD40, with no joy. I figure that the key, having had several owners over ten years, had probably gathered grease and other gunk around the screw from being handled. The white vinegar is of course good at degreasing items. That's my theory anyway but nobody was more surprised than me when it actually worked.🐨
@@TheCarKeyMan my spare key case is cracked and being held together by tape. I have purchased a new Honda spare key but will need to transfer the key and unlocking mechanism to the new case. The electronic unlocking mechanism is easy enough but I'm lost as to how to transfer the ignition key itself that starts the car.
Hi, I just purchased a 2013 Honda Jazz from the Stoneacre Honda Dealer, but only got one key. Should there be 2, and if so is it up to them to supply the missing one? PS thank you for the video, even this 76year-old lady would have a go at that now!
Hi Gail, there are no rules on how many keys you should get when you buy a car. You'd hope for two, but car sales will always try and spend as little as possible on a car when they sell it, and if the second key is missing when it is traded in, then they will try and get away with selling with just one key.
@@TheCarKeyMan Thanks for the explanation, I guess thats just what they did. I am going to get another one, though, so no losing it and being in another mess! Lol!
@@TheCarKeyMan yes. But now i guess needed to be re programmed. I found an under 45 yearold to doit with ypu tube instructions on video for re programming both keys. Thank you
You're a life saver, thanks for this. I have a 2013 Jazz and didn't realise there was a screw in the key fob, excellent instructions.
You're welcome Nigel, pleased to help:)

Hi, hope life in Oz is good, love your country :)
Brilliant. Clear and well paced. Just what I needed.
Great stuff Peter, glad it helped and thanks for the feedback :)
Followed your video and have replaced battery. The last one lasted seven years !
Hi Lee, wish all cars did that now! The latest 2019 VW group last 12-18 months!

So very useful, thank you for putting this on UA-cam for the rest of us.
You’re very welcome :)
Solid gold !!!. Thanks for that super clear instruction.
You're welcome, thanks so much for watching :)
Excellent! Thanks very much! Warm 2022 greetings from South Africa....
Hello in South Africa, great to hear from you :)
Excellent! Very clear instructions. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback :)
Do you have a video on how to change the metal ignition key itself. I need to replace my fob as its cracked
Hi, do you mean change the whole case?

Thanks. Followed this and replaced battery easily.
That's great Alan, thanks for watching :)
Do I need to disable the car alarm before I go ahead and do this? Serious question! Thanks for the upload
Hi, not been asked this before but good question. I don't think it matters, but if you're worried then yes, why not
Thanks, very useful. It worked perfectly for my 2011 CRV.
Great stuff Nigel, glad it helped :)
Awesome video. Thanks! 👍
Thanks very much, just followed this for mine, very useful video.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching :)
Brilliant Mate. Thank-you very much 👍👏😀
You're very welcome, glad it helped :)
Please, done all that perfectly, little red light and all. but wont work - do I need to pre programme it and the other key as well???
Hi Chris, not normally, did it work before you changed the key battery?
@@TheCarKeyMan yes. But now i guess needed to be re programmed. I found an under 45 yearold to doit with ypu tube instructions on video for re programming both keys. Thank you
perfect video. Thanks!
Excellent instruction
Thanks Ajmal :)
Thanks, much appreciated.
You're very welcome Michael, thanks for the feedback :)
What battery is it? CR1616?
Yes sorry, I forgot to put that in the text of the description
Go to 2:42
thanks for this
You’re very welcome :)
That was helpful :)
Hi, that's great, glad it helped :)
Is it possible to change this flip key to a non flip key?
Hello Wayne, not that I know of sorry
Thanks, but I need to replace the complete housing and fit the key from the old housing to the new one.
Ah, not done a video for that problem yet, sorry. What's wrong with the key?
Thank you!
You're very welcome Paul, thanks for the feedback :)
Thank you!!
You’re very welcome Jonathan:)
Can i also use a round Euro Cent Coin to Open the Case? 😅😂🤣
Any coin you like :) Thanks for watching
Key is wrecked. Sad
How come ?
