How to Replace Car Key Fob Battery (No Tools)

2032 Battery: amzn.to/2qqGl0W

[@robertweekes5783]

Btw if your key fob dies and the car thinks the key is not there, the engine will not start (says key is missing) - an *emergency override* is to flip open the center console, insert the key fob upside down into the little slot, & push down until it clicks into place. The car will read your key even when the battery is low. Then you can start the engine! 👍🏼

That's some great, worthwhile, very useful extra info. Thanks Robert.

Thank you. It literally took me like 2 seconds. It was so easy!

[@tkenglander6226]

Thanks a lot!! You explained that very clearly and me and my car appreciate it!!

[@tkenglander6226]

Thank you again, Anthony!! My battery which I replaced a year ago has already died, so I came back to find your video to watch it again. It worked!! - and didn't take too long. :-)

[@troymcdougall6170]

Thanks for the video. Super easy and just as you illustrated. Huge help! Thanks!!

[@susancourtright5790]

Thank you so much for your helpful video. You made it possible for me to do this on my own without going to the dealer. Thanks again! 😀

[@kme06d]

Thank you so much! Saved myself the $6 charge to have the dealer do it.

[@anthonyip]

Thanks for watching!

[@micaelaolortegui3332]

Excellent! Thanks for share your knowledge!

[@ayarow7742]

OMG you are a life saver!!! My car is 3 months old and i flipped out. Thanks for making my life easy :)

[@anthonyip]

thanks for watching :)

[@randykelsoe7191]

Excellent video. Wish I had seen this one first. That's cool that you can use the key to separate the fob and remove the battery. Great job!

[@sandrascroggins9850]

Much easier than I expected, thanks to you!

[@kevincooper2654]

Good video. No wrecking fob with knife like others show. Thanks!

[@yp-lo8op]

Thanks for the video. You saved me a dealer trip. I thought my secondary key was not pogrammed to the car. Nope just a bad battery.

[@taraa.szymanski6751]

Thank you, just saved me a heap of effort!!

[@BrightStar3862]

Excellent commentary & excellent video. Thanks, TED

[@MelJoy]

I cracked the plastic using this method. Be careful. I finally used a thin knife to remove the back panel safely.

[@scottdarnall5247]

Thank you for this excellent, simple explanation!

[@RockLives4u]

I appreciate your presentation and delivery A job well done, Thanks

[@jeppyk]

im dumb as hell too. I dumb bought a dumb cr2025 battery instead of a dumb cr2032 on dumb accident because I was dumb rushing at the dumb dollar store but dumb figured I’d try it anyway for dumb shits n gigs. Turns out it’s working so far i dumb think because even though it’s dumb thinner, the dumb fob is holding it in dumb place well enough to work for the dumb time being until I can dumb get back to the dumb dollar store and dumb buy the correct dumb battery!

[@Peppermint1]

It is much easier to pry it open with the tip of a butter knife. Insert it 1mm at the top of the chrome piece on the bottom plastic side (the one with the H logo) and gently pry open. Don't forget to properly fit the rubber piece all around back in place.

Thanks. I was able to change the battery.

A mosquito stung my damn ear while watching this outside. Thanks tho 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@whitefox8868]

thanks for the instruction man. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

[@mono1020]

"I'm dumb as hell" made me laugh because clearly I'm even dumber as I need to watch your video to figure out how to open the fob. Thx for the good directions.😊

[@reneeglickman9524]

Thanks saved me a trip to pep boys!

[@ScottStruzik]

Great video. Thanks!

[@markf1801]

Absolutely perfect! Thank you so much!

[@mattmtong]

Very excellently explained

[@DavidRaccah]

[@anthonyip]

Thanks David!

[@juanurresti9248]

[@carolarupertenriquez9602]

Great job on this video!

[@mrsmi1ey]

Thanks for posting this!

[@ssnn]

Thank you for posting this.

[@ellenlittle5757]

Something else other than being very careful not to accidentally cracking your case, be careful not to let the spring loaded valet release to pop out. That thing is a real pain in the @$# to get back into place. Overall, I think your video is great.

[@beachXguy]

LoL classic “I’m dumb as hell “
Hey ya helped me out!!!
Appreciate the vid

[@TraderGirlx]

Thank you so much! Your video was very helpful :)

[@WingoTribe704]

If u are using too much pressure to pry, try using a razor blade at that thin space along tha side and pry. U got a strong chance of breaking the fob using the key

[@mitchrapp9727]

Can you do a video on how to start the car with a dead key fob?

[@jjsingh5884]

Thank you, Thank you boss

[@Bergarita]

[@ladistar]

[@dannypants2020]

thanks

[@HeadintheBox]

Thank you.

[@notthefather3919]

I just wish i could see where exactly you put the key to pop it open

[@adokenk3nnbasil]

nice nicee

[@802sti]

Your video is too blurry, i cant see where to put the key in to open it.

[@jordanslipher6690]

The same slot the key sits in all of the time.

[@rmcd]

Thanks....dealer we going to charge an absurd amount to do this

[@sarahsandercock242]

This method did not work, and I ended up with a now chipped and damaged plastic casing of the key fob, both externally where it chipped on the edges and internally around the supposed gap referenced in the video. I ended up using my fingernails and sliding them between the vertical metal trim piece on the fob, after removing the valet key. I had to gently rock and slide my fingernails up and down the crack between the metal trim and the brown plastic until it eventually gave way.
