The person who said getting the new battery out of the packaging was more difficult than taking the key fob apart was spot on. It was a super simple process thanks to this video. Thank you, How To Car Guy!
yes this video helped me very much good video teaching how to do this instead of people going to the dealership and getting charged allot of money for this simple task.
I spent over 30 min navigating through the e-mannual and the paper manual and could not locate instructions on how to replace the battery. This video did it 2 minutes....thank you very much!
I was struggling with this process, until I came across this tutorial. It still took some jiggling, but it came off cleanly, with no damage. Great video! Thanks!!!
EVEN EASIER WAY TO GET THE LID OFF IS INSERTING THE KEY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE KEY SLOT AND THE LID POPS RIGHT OFF, NO NEED TO PRY ANYTHING OR RISK DAMAGING OR SCRATCHING THE OUTSIDE OF THE FOB. JUST FYI.
THANK YOU! I have two fobs and both batteries have gone! This worked just fine and now I am back in business! I love that I just happened across this video just in the nick of time, otherwise I would've gone to the dealership..Yikes!
Nice! I checked a couple of websites, but your explanation was the best. So easy to do once you know about the tab. You just put the key back into its slot slightly offset from where it came out so that your metal key catches the tab. Bingo
Best common sense tutorial. It's only my second time having to change my key battery, but last time I swore I would remember, ha! Thank you for posting this.
THAAAAAANK YOUUUUU! NONE of the other posts worked! Good God what a relief to my extreme frustration (and getting locked out of my car due to dead key fob)
Oh ... WOW. I worked at trying to open the darn thing for about 15 minutes!! Thank you so much for clearly and kindly showing me how to open my key. Yea!
Thank you so much! My husband called to say the battery died in the key fob and car wouldn't start. A quick google search and your video popped up. Thank you for making this video!
Perfect! Both my 2018 Keys were showing “low battery” messages upon entering the car. Fixed in about 10 minutes total and that was trying to open the battery package. Thanks so much!!
Superb, left to my own devices would of been all day, frustration off the scale, language used, not for polite company and no progress. Success in a couple of minutes.Brilliant and thank you.
Who in the world would give this a thumbs down? This was easy and perfect. hmmmmmmm They must not have this key at all. Anyways. Thank you. Now Im off to go grab a few batteries for my keys. Make sure you all keep the spare key powered up as well. Manual locking your cars gets tricky.
Thank you for posting! Its been a while since if had to use my spare key with a dead battery. I was avoiding going to the shop. The batteries are very affordable on Amazon.
Your instructions did help me. Thanks much. And as Deandre wrote, no need to pry the lid open when you insert the key into the slot where the tab of the black cover sits.
Brilliant video thank you . Put a thin knife whilst holding that key inside the fob to lift the flap on the black plastic piece exactly the way you say in your video and out comes the black plastic cover and reveals the battery. Note which side the batteries goes back in , the the right way with wording and + sign up up replace cover and it’s good to test and go . Thank you for the video
4 years later and you’re still helping. I appreciate this video greatly. I was able to literally change the battery in less than a minute.
