Oh gosh no lol :D To be fair I did too at first, then I started to look for a way to do it on my own - and I found 100 ways to do it that were all overly complicated. That's when I decided to make a video that cut out all the nonsense. Pop it open, change the battery, snap it back shut. Boom. You're done. :D Saved myself $$ and a ton of other people too! My favorite kind of video to make! Glad it helped!!!
I'm glad it helped! As soon as I found out how easy it was to replace I immediately made the video. There is no sense in paying someone to do this. Easy peasy!!! :D
Thanks so much for your video. I watched two other videos and just struggled to pop the case open. I finally saw your video and got the screwdriver out! Presto. Battery changed in 30 seconds. Thanks.
Thank you Wendy! This was a huge help - your tips made it so easy! Yours was the second video I watched and it was so much easier than the first one. I saved this for future use!
A notice popped up on my car and took me a couple times to realize what it was telling me. So glad I found your video on this. It was easy to follow and I was nervous I was going to break the parts holding the battery in or I didn’t pay attention and put the screw driver in between the circuitry instead of right under the battery. So happy I got this changed out! And thanks for listing the battery size too!! Been a while since I last followed instructions from a video. Thank you!!!!
You're most welcome! In retrospective I should have put a link to the battery in the video. Best I can do now is have one in the description/pinned comment. Whoops. :D Lesson learned. I'll figure this RUclips thing out eventually! Glad the video helped!!!
Thank you Wendy. The best tutorial by far on RUclips for replacing the battery. Really appreciate the way you highlight the best slot to use the screwdriver to prize open the fob.... very useful and easy. Thank you so much 😊
I can't tell you how many videos I looked at she I couldn't tell what slot they were using, so I made it a point to be super clear. :) Glad the video worked for you!
Thanks! I am retired, live in rural area miles from Subaru dealer,and this advice saves me worrying about lockout etc. and will save me contacting dealer about this. Great video.
Just bought a used '21 Outback today. Been out only a couple times since I been home with it. The last time I got this warning shutting down the vehicle. Gonna have to run out for batteries tomorrow - thankfully we have two FOBs with the purchase.
Thank you very much for your clear explanation of how to chance the battery. It worked perfectly. A different video suggested using the key to open the case and line you said, that didn’t work.
Thanks. My mine just told me it’s low. So easy to follow. What battery do I need though. I don’t believe you ever said and I don’t want to take it apart until I have the right batter to replace it. Thanks again and Merry Christmas 🎄
Yep, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I didn't mention it until I started getting comments asking. Whoops. I made it a pinned comment though: "If you need a battery, here they are on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/3GveIuk You need a CR2032 3V Lithium Battery."
Yeah I'm sorry. I didn't realize I didn't mention it until I started getting some comments. Added it to a pinned comment and the description: "If you need a battery, here they are on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/3GveIuk You need a CR2032 3V Lithium Battery."

I like your style: matter of fact, explaining how to do things easier, fast talker, getting right down to business!
Thank you! That's the best compliment! :) I appreciate you commenting too!
Thanks Wendy thought I had to take it to dealer, appreciate people on the web helping others:)

Thank you. I’m 75 & could follow you with ease. Merry Christmas❤
Thank you! My mom was about to take it all the way to the technicians to replace the battery. Now to do it to my dad's.:)
Glad I could help!!!
Thank you, Wendy! We just bought a used Subaru and the warning light came on about the battery. Now we know what to do!
Thanks, Wendy! Replaced the battery in my fob with no fuss, no muss.😄
I'm glad it helped! As soon as I found out how easy it was to replace I immediately made the video. There is no sense in paying someone to do this. Easy peasy!!! :D
Thank you Wendy! Of course I hit the alarm button🤣
🤣 You may have hit the alarm button but you didn't pay someone to fix it! Win!
Thank you! Got the 'access key battery low' message today and had no interest in paying someone to change a battery!
That's exactly where I was when I got it. :D Like, surely I can figure this out on my own. :D
Thanks so much for your video. I watched two other videos and just struggled to pop the case open. I finally saw your video and got the screwdriver out! Presto. Battery changed in 30 seconds. Thanks.
Love this! Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I'm so glad the video helped!
Thanks Wendy! Yours was the easiest for me to follow!

Thanks, Wendy. Exactly what we needed. Probably saved us $50 at the dealership.
I think that's about what they wanted when I went, to which I said NOPE :D Glad it helped!
Thanks for your simple to do video. Lots of helpful comments to prevent accidental errors.
Thanks. WENDY! AND A SUGGESTION:change that battery before the warming light comes on the dash. The horn is loud, you'll get neighbors annoyed!
omg thank you Wendy!!! I thought i was going to have to go in to the dealer and all this kind of hassle!!!
Thanks Wendy! Off to buy a battery now that I know how to replace it!

Thanks, saved me from asking a service person to do it
You're most welcome! Yeah it's most definitely not worth paying someone to do it! Easy peasy.
Thank you! This was exactly what I wanted so I knew I wasn’t going to break anything. 😜 Worked perfect.
Thanks for showing detail on taking apart
Very helpful video! Love seeing female representation in a car-related video too 😊

Thanks, Wendy! You’re right - this is an easy fix.
It really is!
Thanks Wendy
Thank you very much for your clear explanation of how to chance the battery. It worked perfectly. A different video suggested using the key to open the case and line you said, that didn’t work.

Thank you Wendy!
You're most welcome!
Thank you, Wendy. Worked perfectly!
Thanks - quick yet thorough - exactly what was needed!
Nice clear, detailed instruction.
It might help to specify putting the new battery in so that its plus sign ( + ), for the positive "terminal" side, is showing
Thanks, Wendy. Helpful and clear instructions!
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment! :)
Thanks. My mine just told me it’s low. So easy to follow. What battery do I need though. I don’t believe you ever said and I don’t want to take it apart until I have the right batter to replace it. Thanks again and Merry Christmas 🎄
Yep, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I didn't mention it until I started getting comments asking. Whoops. I made it a pinned comment though: "If you need a battery, here they are on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/3GveIuk You need a CR2032 3V Lithium Battery."
Thanks, Wendy! Very Helpful!
Thanks Wendy, your explanation was on point much more helpful then another that I watched.
Thank you so much! Very clear, informative, and concise.
Thanks Wendy!!
No problem! Glad it helped!
Thanks. This was helpful. It would be even more helpful if you mentioned some details about the battery and where to purchase a new one.
Yeah I'm sorry. I didn't realize I didn't mention it until I started getting some comments. Added it to a pinned comment and the description: "If you need a battery, here they are on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/3GveIuk You need a CR2032 3V Lithium Battery."
