Why arent all how-to videos as helpful and straightforward as this one?!

[@Helpful-Stuff]

Thanks for the nice comment 👍 I am glad you found the video helpful 😀

[@junahabegum4290]

Thank you so much. It’s videos like this that are priceless I was quite stressed and Google told me to drive to the dealership to replace 😂

[@Helpful-Stuff]

Thanks for the nice comment about my video. I have no idea what a dealership would charge to change a key fob battery but it is obviously a LOT cheaper to change the battery yourself. I am glad the video helped you to change the battery and save some money 👍

[@Helpful-Stuff]

I am glad the video helped you to change the battery .... and thanks for the nice comment about my voice 🥰

[@BigPaul3122]

Excellent video, thank you. I found the battery difficult to remove using fingers. So, I pushed down on the battery edge with the small screw driver instead. The battery popped out immediately. You can press a little more firmly in exactly the right place with a screw driver than is possible with a finger. Hope that helps.

[@Helpful-Stuff]

Thanks for the comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the useful tip to get the battery out.... this is the most fiddly part of the process and your tip sounds easier than the way I did it with my fingers!

[@Scoobysnax8]

Thanks for the helpful video … I just pushed down gently on the battery & it popped straight out 😀

[@Helpful-Stuff]

Thanks for the comment and I am glad the video was helpful.
You have obviously got the right technique. I wish the battery had popped straight out for me!!!

[@Lolly80pop80]

Battery is really difficult, I found if you slip a plastic card under, then push across it popped out

[@Helpful-Stuff]

Thanks for the tip .... plastic card is a great idea. 😀
I did *not* want to use anything metal like a small screwdriver.

[@masternewport221]

[@andyfandyf7434]

Very good. Can you just clarify if you left the (orange) rubber seal in (or put it back in), or left it out?

[@Helpful-Stuff]

I didn't touch the orange rubber seal at all. I think it is important that you leave the rubber seal in place to ensure that your key fob is still water resistant.

[@quintond6911]

[@tomdavidson9067]

Great video but "quite fiddly" to remove actual battery is a gross understatement! 😖I tried and failed countless times as it's nigh on impossible with cold and/or dry hands and without any tools. In the end the best trick I can suggest is a small screwdriver to keep the battery raised and a large blob of blu-tac to stick&drag the battery out. Pretty dismal user experience and I would have expected much better from Toyota.

[@Helpful-Stuff]

I agree getting the old battery out is the most challenging part of changing the battery. Key fobs are accidentally dropped and generally have quite a tough life so I suspect Toyota have to design the key fob so that the battery will not get accidentally bumped out of the electrical contacts so that the key fob stops working ... and making the battery very secure means that it is very difficult to get the battery out to change it.
But as you say there must be a better way to design the key fob and keep the battery secure but still allow the battery to be changed easily ... even if it means that a small screwdriver is required.

[@chrisglynn2388]

So sorry, did not know how to change number next to thumbs up or would have given highest number.

[@Helpful-Stuff]

I don't think you can change the number ... the number next to the thumbs up is a count of the number of people who have clicked the thumbs up.... but thanks for trying 😀

[@Proximo011]

It is such a stupid design of a battery holder. I hate it when engineers and designers especially feel the need to reinvent a perfectly working wheel.... it's like it always becomes oblong or oval haha :P
I used the key to get under the battery to lift it up a bit, got under it and it got loose... somehow :D
Thanks for the info :D

[@Helpful-Stuff]

I tend to agree with you ... but in Toyota's defence I think the battery needs to be fitted very securely in the fob because key fobs get dropped regularly sometimes onto hard surfaces. The last thing you want is for the key fob to stop working because the battery has moved slightly and is no longer making a good electrical contact.
But I do agree good design would make it easier to get the battery out ... while still keeping the battery secure when dropped.

[@drortobi6021]
