I just stumbled upon your video and was able to replace my battery on my keyfob with no issues with your instructions. Instead of using a butter knife, I used my screwdriver that's meant for my glasses. It's thin enough to where I can safely pry open the key without damaging the device because I can be very headed handed. I'm so happy it works and tested it out a few minutes ago and my car lit up just fine. Purchased a 10 pack from Amazon a while back and this is perfect. I just need to do the same thing to my spare key. 😊 Thank you again for the awesome tutorial.
Watched this to help my mom with her key fob and OMG it was totally worth it. Made something that's just a little pain in the rear to do seem almost fun. Love the disco and Knight Rider references!!!
I cant believe it was so simple this whole time. Both my key fabs died around the same time and it was getting to the point I had to sit there and push the start button several time to get my car to start
I was having the same problem just replacing the battery and then I noticed some of the prongs that support the battery were bent down, so I bent them back up! Problem solved
Oh my goodness I absolutely love your voice and how you barrage this! I'm going to watch the rest of your videos just to hear how you explain things lol thank you for the disco tips!
Good video, but my problem is getting the battery out. It's set like a gem with 4 plastic prongs, which I don't want to break. I'm stuck until I figure this out. :-(
Thx for your help! Took a couple seconds, opened, went to ebay, ordered a new CR2032 for$1.20, and I'll be good to go in a few days. In the mean time, I've been using the spare. ;-)
I bought one at the dollar store for a buck and change the battery in my key fob was very simple and easy watching this guy doing it the right way he certainly saved me some money
Thanks for this video...Have a 2009 Smart car and key fob has no screws at all...I was afraid of breaking it, but worked it apart as you said, and the 2016 battery was dead...Thank you again...
Excellent, thank you! The only thing I would change is to note the orientation of the battery BEFORE you take it out so you don't have to crack the case a second time to flip the battery.
Hi! I was wondering is it safe to buy and connect one of those on the video on a nissan versa. Since the car is electronic it worries me that i might lock everything down.
the metal clip fell out. I know it works, but I need a replacement fob shell to put mine in. where's the best place for that? I dont want to reprogram i just wnna get in.
The key fob for a 2019 nissan sentra is fully charged with a battery tester, but my car is saying that the battery for the key fob is weak. Any suggestions?
I have replaced a new battery in the slot the same way as the old battery was but it doesn't not work. Is there something else that could have been wrong with the remote control?
I see this was posted a year ago, but if anyone else had the same issue, you probably have a thinner battery, I replaced my battery but it was just thinner, so I got a bit of paper put that into the slot first then the battery on top of that to 'raise' the battery to enable it to touch the terminals, and it works perfectly
Didn’t work for me. When I opened my key fob inside was another mini black box that couldn’t be opened. Looks like I’m stuck taking it to the dealer 😡😡😡
Perfect instructions! Easy to understand. I got my key open and bought a $3 battery. Saved myself a trip to the dealer where they would have charged me $60. Thanks, StatUpBox!!!
...and a complimentary Knight Rider reference!!! The 18yr old at the Dealership wouldn’t even know who David Hasselhoff is!! Thanks for the perfect video. -j
This video saved me literally $600!!!!!!! , was told by dealership $300 per key fob to be re programmed if they die … well they were both dying after 3 years. Thank you so much ! Bought $11.99 batteries and I’m saved 🙏
@@tinam2696eventually, it won’t start. I’m only familiar with Hyundai and they start with keeping you locked out of your car. Then you’ll notice you have to get closer and closer to the car to unlock it. Eventually you’ll have pull out the metal key to get in your car! Once that happens you have to put the fob directly on the push to start button to even crank up your car because the car won’t recognize that the key is in the vicinity. That’s usually when my lazy bones goes to replace it!
Thank you so much for the video! Both of my mom's key batteries had stopped working and she didn't want to waste time going to the dealer for a replacement. We were afraid prying it open after removing the insert would break it, but a cuticle pusher from my manicure case did the trick! Thankfully, I can now just go to the car parts store down the street to get a battery replacement instead.
Thank you so much! I feel like a car genius now. I even had the battery on hand as it is the same kind used in my food scale. Had to restart the engine to turn the warning indicator light off
Or you might " motivate you car " . Come on, you can do it", ( while playing the Rocky theme song ). Or maybe motivate the keys with a slow jam by Maxwell, " 🎵 I know you've got a little life in you yet, I know you've got a lot of strength left .🎶 " Lol .

Thank you so much brother💪🏾💯 Changed the battery in my mustang key fob in less than a minute

Helpful. But it’s gotta be a geeky guy who designed such a complex system that you need a tutorial to replace a battery. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You can use a penny to open my carrolla key fob. If that's complex for you than you need expand your capabilities.
Shit stupid smh
Im looking at this tutorial in 2024 😂

Good tip!
He does mention when he takes the battery out to FLIP IT so that you could see the # of the battery you need
This video was great! I learned something new and was entertained. I love this guy.

Thanks so much.. you saved the day!
You are welcome!😊👍
Cool.
Sir thank you so much. RUclips 1 million, school 0
I had 3 fobs and Two unprogrammed...how do I re program them...did they unprogram because of the battery or some other way?
Which way does the battery go in the fob
the metal clip fell out. I know it works, but I need a replacement fob shell to put mine in. where's the best place for that? I dont want to reprogram i just wnna get in.
The remote doesn't tell you when the battery is going dead does it?
AMAZING
THANK YOU!!!!!
Welcome
The key fob for a 2019 nissan sentra is fully charged with a battery tester, but my car is saying that the battery for the key fob is weak. Any suggestions?
I have one that needs a new battery now. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Thank you sooo much!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
I have replaced a new battery in the slot the same way as the old battery was but it doesn't not work. Is there something else that could have been wrong with the remote control?
Same here, there is probably some kind of reset
Same here. Didnt work.

What size battery is in the last key fob
Just tried to get battery to test, everything gfellout and cannot put it back together again, can't use it now.
🤩 Thank you!!! 😘
You’re welcome 😊
So the negative side is up?
What if that still doesn’t work?
also make sure the battery is in correctly, I had mine up-side-down.......LOL
I can’t believe that I took mine to a dealership to change. Smh
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks 👍😊
My battery is not as easily located
👌👍
👍
Uh if u remove the key … they key is suppose to be use to open the key fob not a butterfly knife lol
side to side like a disco haaa
Seems archaic to have to pry open delicate plastic….
Didn’t work for me. When I opened my key fob inside was another mini black box that couldn’t be opened. Looks like I’m stuck taking it to the dealer 😡😡😡
I think works for most but not all. worked for me.

They charge 60$???
I got the cover off can see the battery ow to remove it ?
💯🤩

Dealers are absolutely revolting
$11.99??? I got for $1.47/ea w/free shipping on Ebay
Can the car not start if the battery in your key is dead?
@@tinam2696eventually, it won’t start. I’m only familiar with Hyundai and they start with keeping you locked out of your car.

@@nikkiB100 ...Thanks I finally walked to the dealership with my dog (about a 1/4 mile away).
Look out KIT! I am now a legend in the car industry Baby 👍. THANK YOU for the info and the laughs.
This video is great! The best part is that not just 1 type of fob was covered, good job!
Thank you so much for the video! Both of my mom's key batteries had stopped working and she didn't want to waste time going to the dealer for a replacement. We were afraid prying it open after removing the insert would break it, but a cuticle pusher from my manicure case did the trick!

Great to hear!
Nice! I noticed the slot but was afraid it would break and saved me by who knows how much the dealer would have charged for something so simple!
💪😊👍 Money in the bank!!🤣🤣
Thank you for making it so simple. I'm going to try it and hope it's my battery. 🤞
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thank you so much! I feel like a car genius now. I even had the battery on hand as it is the same kind used in my food scale. Had to restart the engine to turn the warning indicator light off
Fantastic!👍❤😊
Yours has a warning indicator light? I'm jealous!
Or you might " motivate you car " . Come on, you can do it", ( while playing the Rocky theme song ). Or maybe motivate the keys with a slow jam by Maxwell, " 🎵 I know you've got a little life in you yet, I know you've got a lot of strength left .🎶 " Lol .
Imma take my key remote to the dance floor later. This video was the best!! Thank you
