- This video will help you to replace the key battery on a Landrover Freelander and Discovery 3 Key
You need a high quality CR2032 key battery inside, otherwise the car will have trouble recognising the car key. Buy a new key battery from Amazon by clicking the link below.

So the new proximity key from Land Rover, quite easy to change the battery on these. First of all, you need to get this chrome cover off. So push it from this end, and that just pops off. And here is the emergency key. So the emergency key, you just pop that out, that's what you use if you need to open the door. It unfolds and there you go, and you just use it like that in the lock. So that's that. And then this leaves you with the remote. So the key case splits down this line in two, all the way around, and you need to get something just inside, in between here, to open it up. So you just need to be a bit careful. Pop the screwdriver. It's a little bit tricky. And then once you've got a bit of a gap, just carefully open that up. And there's your key battery.
So you can see there that is a Maxell 2032. Just carefully pop that out and pop a new one in. Okay. So then we go on and just pop the cover back on. Just make sure that that gap is fully closed. Pop your blade back in. So the last thing you need to do is to put this on, slide it down. If it doesn't go on, just ... It only goes on one way, so just try it the other way. And there you go. That's with a five button proximity key, and you are good to go.

After removing emergency key, when the fob is picked up in the video you can see an arrow with a straight line marked on the case to the extreme right. Directly above there is a square hole. Put emergency key in the hole and gently twist and the fob opens without messing about with screwdrivers.
Thanks, must make another video soon because I've been told this a few times now. Really appreciate your comment
Just this minute changed my fob battery with this information, so thanks!
3 years later your comment is still helping people. Thank you!

Thanks. 3 years!!!! Where does the time go?
Perfect, thanks for making this when Land Rover don't include this instruction in the driver's manual.
Really! That's a bit of a shame...
@@TheCarKeyMan I know right? I suspect they want me to use their services and pay for it.
@@katrinbrandberg9770 I did both mine in 15 mins wonder what LR would have charged ?
@@blackvulcan100 Yep, it was quick and easy. Probably a small fortune!
That’s NOT the way you open the case. What you do is take the emergency key and insert it in the slot in the bottom edge and twist. The case easily snaps apart without levering the case along the seam to split it.
5 star comment right here. It took me a few seconds following your instructions. More important I didn’t break anything.
100% correct. I think the video was posted by someone who sells replacement keys to people who’ve just broken their cases...
Yeah, please don’t follow these instructions. I almost damaged my case trying to do so. Fortunately I found the correct opening that allows you to easily pry the case open. Please redo this video so that other owners don’t make the same mistake.
Well picked. So easy the correct way. Thanks
Spot on, Hank. On page 8 of the FL2 handbook, it details, with pictures, how to change the FOB battery. It's always best to RTFM.
Thank you for the video, this was helpful. I’d like to also see one where the emergency key is used to open the FOB.
Great vid but you can use the emergency key to prise the fob open by just poking it into the slot at the base of the emergency key compartment. This is the intended way of opening it up.
Hi Robert, thanks. Yes we realised this after! Every day is a school day. We'll do an update shortly
thanks… this comment along with the video saved me!!!
You’re the man!! This is why you always read the comments!!! Thanks!
Thanks a lot bro! Look at how many people have watched this too! Proper public service mate👍🏻
Thanks Darth

Really need to remake this video. No screwdriver needed, as you've mentioned in other comments. Just remove the metal key from the holder, place it in the rectangular slot and twist. The key falls apart easily, and without that screwdriver.
Yes, thanks, it's on my list
Great video, very useful. Watched it and changed my battery for my D4 in 30 seconds. Thank you 😊
Excellent, thanks for the comment :)
Instead of prying open that end with a screwdriver, you can follow the diagram on the opposite side (left hand at 1:08.) Insert the blade key and turn, much easier. The transmitter outer layer are know to delaminate and prying will accelerate that process.
Thanks Michael, Ill have a look
Michael, your comment on the video has intrigued me. Can you use the emergency key in the slot you highlighted as a leaver to open the key fob?
@@UsefulWisdom Yes - I just replaced the battery in one of my keys. Simply push the emergency key into the rectangular hole in the end of the key fob and twist the key - the fob will split open.
Exactly - you need to change this video. Followed your advice with a screwdriver, mangled the inside of the key and couldn’t get it open. Then I got the correct method from the Landrover website. Nice one mate, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@mattm3111 I KNOOOOWWWWW ME TOO!!!! People need to stop making videos on topics they have no idea about
Aww thanks mate, I just purchased a rover and I was wondering why it wasn't unlocking/locking . Had to put the fob under steering wheel I was like this is not how it should work , good thing I had a extra battery and now it all works and starts easy thanks so much saved me $$$
Thanks for watching Lionel :)
Informative and money saving - thank you 🙏 for taking the time and effort to make this.
You're welcome Richard, thanks for the feeedback :)
Thanks you someone wanted to charge me 45 to do this and I did it myself so easy and great video step by step 👍
Great stuff, really pleased it helped :)
I’m a little girl and you helped me do this
Thank you so much you’re smart and awsome
Thanks for watching :)
No screwdriver needed to open the plastic part at 01:10. You can use the emergency key: put it in the hole and turn ;)
Yes thansk Arnaud, I must remake this
I just did mine, thanks to your video.
That's great Galuh, thanks for the feedback :)
Initially, insert the screw driver at the at the other end of the key, near the white graphic of a half circle arrow, there is a hole there and a twist of the screw driver more easily opens the split between the two halves.
You say "easy " - so how come nearly 900 people disagree by watching this . One minus for Landrover
Also - sounds obvious, but some CR2032 batteries have a plastic sticky label on the battery - you need to remove that before you fit it, otherwise the contact will not work, and so the remote still won't work!
OMGGGGGGoodness THIS saved me! I could NOT for the life of me understand why the new battery wasn’t working. The sticker was underneath and I never even noticed it. Thank you!!!
Very helpful - thanks
You're very welcome Sam, thanks for watching :)

I have a Land Rover Freelander 2 and bought cr2032 batteries only to find that the old one is cr2025... What can I do...
Hi, I'm fairly sure it should be a CR2032. They are just a bit thicker, but from memory there is plenty of room to take the 2032. Has it been working ok with a 2025?
@@TheCarKeyMan Yes, it has been working since I bought the car 2 years ago. In any case, will it be safe to use the cr2032 batteries?
Thank you!
Youre welcome :)
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome, glad it helped you
Use key on slot and twist
Yes agree Mike, must remake this
I did this now the key is rattling, any help ?
Hi Georgina, the key should be held in with a metal clip. Sometimes these become loose from the plastic
Thank you :)
You're welcome :)
thanks
You're welcome :)
Cheers👍
You're welcome, thanks for watching :)
Sorted it myself in literally under 2 min
Wrong way to open! will damage the case.
Even after the battery is changed, the car's computer still show fob battery is LOW which is very annoying.
It's normally either a poor quality battery or the key is faulty..
You dont need a screwdriver stick key in and turn!
Hi arco, thanks for the comment. Yes, that is the way to do it unless the key is missing. We have a shop and of every ten we change the battery on, 2-3 have no emergency blade inside. So this is another way that works.
@@TheCarKeyMan If that's the case then why didn't you make that distinction instead of making it seems as though there is only one way to open it. @Arco van Nieuwland is soooooooo right!!!! I was over here struggling with a screwdriver almost damaging my key fob until I scrolled down to the comments and saw his amazing suggestion.
@Arco van Nieuwland THANK YOU!!!!! You are soooooooo right!!!! I was over here struggling with a screwdriver almost damaging my key fob until I scrolled down and saw your comments. Amazing suggestion, 10000% easier.

Jen Ash you’re right, I should have. Sometimes after we make videos it’s clear they could be made better, but it’s too late then, they can’t be edited
You're completely wrong. To separate the two half shells, just insert the emergency key in the rectangular hole and turn it to spread shells.
Annoyingly I didn't read the comments first and followed the video - a little piece of black plastic sheared away in prising it off. Fortunately it made no difference to the case opening and closing and when i then read the comments and tried it the proper way it of course opened perfectly. He said he would update this video 2 years ago and hasn't. SO DON'T FOLLOW THE VIDEO AND READ THE COMMENTS.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching :)
Please make the new video now, and take this one down. I knew something wasn't right. The emergency key should be used to open the fob.
Hello Marjorie, thanks for watching and it's on the list
British Engineering - Oxymoron
Terrible design.
Agreed, for an expensive key and car, these are shocking
