I thought the small switch on my key would open it for the battery. I didn't know there was an actual key inside. Then I had no clue how to change the battery. What an excellent little video.
Hi Bernhard, well it's the internet and every channel gets down votes. What matters are that it helps some people, and your comment is really appreciated :)
Thanks for the careful description, it really helped. I can’t believe that this is so fiddly to do, needs a better design! By the way as well as a CR2025 that you used here, you can also use a CR2032.
Brilliant. Thank you. Not only have you saved me time for not having to go to the Nissan dealership, but also the arm and a leg they would have charged me fo the battery.
Thanks man. If I'd taken this into a dealer they would've charged me $100! Btw: I didn't have a screw driver handy so I just used the end of a tea spoon. Worked a treat.
Very helpful (6 years later) indeed! I was always postponing on doing it myself, fearing that I'd break something. After watching the video, I knew nothing was going to break. To add on this already super-helpful video, it's even easier/safer if you have some plastic opening picks or other tools used to open mobile-phones/laptops available. In my case, they came handy and the job was done with no scratches.
Thanks mate. I thought that small switch thing opened it, but it turns out to be an actual key - which nobody at the dealership bothered to tell me. Luckily I had a battery to hand.
Thank you for explanining and showing very clearly. It really did took my worry out. I cracked my new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone to inser SIM card, thinking I have to open from the back, not realising you get a pin to do that and u do it from top. I didn't wanna do that with my car key so I found your video and it was helpful. Like one of the comment, I used a butter knife instead of a screwdriver to open FOB and to remove the battery, I had to use a scredriver. Also DL/CR2025 I bought had a 'child safety'picture which I inserted into the key FOB without removing it and it didnt work at first (which gave me a slight panick attack!). Then I removed that 'child safety' sticker and a tiny gel form paste from the 'negative' side of the battery (you have all the writings on the 'positive'side of the battery). So once done that, it all worked fine :) Thanks once again my Car Key Man :)
Thank you 😊 I was a bit worried to begin with but following alongside you doing it made it easy and now my car is no longer saying low battery every time I get in.
Hey there as everyone else saying this video clip is amazing!!! I def would not have been able to figure out how to open the key and change the battery! Simple and easy, job done, thanks for sharing 🎉
Thank you, followed instructions and changed the battery. I then realised that the spare key has a small metal rectangle in the key ring that is the tool for this.
Thank you so much you have rescued me. This was the best assistance I ever received in a very short time. My car is working super good. Thank you so much. Nicholas - Nairobi Kenya
Thanks man! it helps! the twist method does really help to open it much easily. if you do not have a screw driver, try using butter knife, as it is slim enough to be inserted into the crack.
This is the perfect "how-to" video. Many could learn from this. Fwiw, mine had a CR2032 in it. I had to look up the difference to a CR2025. Apparently it's thickness (3.2mm vs 2.5mm) and a higher capacity. Same diameter. The thicker one seems to fit ok in my key.
Merci, grâce a vous j'ai réparé les clefs de mon kangoo 1. En fait, c'était l'interrupteur dans la clef qui était partis de son emplacement. Le témoin rouge ne s'allumait plus malgré une pile neuve. maintenant ca fonctionne, merci encore a vous.
Hi pal, followed the instructions on your video to replace the battery on my Nissan xtrail T32 2017 model push start , now when I try and open the door with the key fob it will not open, have to use the key then hold the fob next to the push start button to start it .
Hi yes worked before, I did put the old battery back in but that will not work now either ,changed the battery in my other key at the same time as the other one and that works fine ?
Thanks for this! Mine had a 2032 in but I replaced it with a 2025. Also I didn't use a screwdriver, just used my fingernails along the sides at the back. Popped open easily
Hi man, thanks for the tutorial.. but i want to ask something, how to stop the alarm sound when i opened the car manually.. it just keep on eventhough i managed to start the engine on..
Many thanks. I'd just add to keep the side with the buttons on pointing down - on mine, the circuit board was loose and I was worried the whole thing would fall apart.
Thank you so much for your help with this tip, its a lifesaver. Its been worrying us as we have been experiencing a problem with our Nissan key fob. Will b changing the battery fob asap. Great video, thanks again
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I am in the US, and amazon is where I shop for everything, because free shipping to Hawaii. I saw a video for some other brand fob, where he just bought the housing, and transferred the electronics etc. So I wonder if that can be done with the Nissan Murano fob, if the housing is just the shell, or if it comes with the buttons, and the electronics can be transferred. So I don't have to pay an arm & leg at Nissan to reprogram a brand new fob. $ 189 OMG. Just like when years ago my alternator went out everybody wanted to sell me a new one for $ 200, all I needed was an insulation disk for $2 that had burned out.
Thanks for the information! Very helpful. Very dodgy design from Nissan lol ... I just crack the case with the screw driver & then use a guitar pick or something plastic to finish the open. This prevents any damage to the key. My key was a 2032 battery. Great video! Thanks from Aus... maaate
Hi Chris, love Oz, the queen paid me to visit in another life! I like the idea of the plastic tools, just got a few and although they are a bit bendy, they don't mark up the key, so top tip, thanks :)
Quick question as you seem like a guy in the know. Iv just bought a used Nissan juke nismo rs I have 2 keys though only 1 opens and locks car at the moment is this standard or should both do the same? Also may it just be a dead battery in the key that doesnt open it?
HI, well the buttons are coded at the same time as the transponder chip, so if it starts the car, then the buttons should work. There isn't a separate trick to get it to work. Have you tried a battery?
I have just ordered two CR2025 batteries as recommend by you in your video only to find that the batteries in my remote are CR2032 which are 0.7 mm fatter and fit better than the CR2025's that you recommend. Maybe Nissan have changed the batteries in these remotes since your video. 🤔
Hi, Yes Since I made that I've found that they can be fitted with either battery. Not sure why have each type but from what I've seen, both sizes work ok
Hello sir, have a vw passat with problem Center locking not working but when I was going to adapt key again by mistake now cluster is showing 0-1 or immoblizer active i am not able to adapt key before this only problem of Central locking. plz suggest me how can start vehicle again or where is problem could be?
Hi Sunil, it sounds like the car is waiting for the key to be coded, 0 is the amount of keys it has seen, and 1 is the amount of keys it is waiting for
oh man, thx for the video, i bought cr2025 batteries, but now when i'm gonna change them it says cr2032 inside the key, does it still work with cr2025 ?
Hi Mariah, no once the battery is changed it should work. How long have you had the car? Did the key ever work and did i stop working gradualy or suddenly?
So glad i found this video. My battery is dead on my kry and low on my wifes. Heres to prsying it wont need reprogramming as I really dont want to go to the dealer for it.
so recenty i bought a nisan quasquai 2017 one of the key didint function so i changed the battery, now i have one ow warning light on after i switch car off ,it s red colored car with key iside and i dont know how to switch it off,bnoth key are working fine....if some 1 knows how to swithc the warning lght off plz write me thanks
I was getting the low battery symbol on the dashboard, so I changed the battery in both fobs and now they won’t lock/unlock or start the car unless I touch the key to the button. It was working perfectly fine before I did this. Any ideas?
Hi Chantelle, this is strange. If you open the key and put the old battery back in hat happens then? Are the batteries the correct way round? Do the buttons unlock and lock the car?
@@TheCarKeyMan Yep, it was all good but if I hadn't watched vid I reckon I would have cracked the casing - I showed my sis how to do it on her spare remote so now we're both sweet as. Thanks again!!
Hi thanks for the great videos. I have a Nissan micra k11 2992. The right door lock and it won't unlock or open . the car has central locking and wine up windows not power window. I open the door card but I don't see any wiring to suggest that the key suppose to open the door. It's a 5 door car any help we be great thanks.
hi, thanks. But no doors are working I think this key like it only supposed to work on the driver side door, although I see on a micra it work for both front doors. But another question dose the door have some sort of remote chip in it. The key have in the battery e.t.c
Hi, we change many of these every week. We've not had a problem when changing the key battery and we normally have the new key battery ready, so it's out less than 10 seconds
I recently dug out my spare fob and it didn't work so I put a new Panasonic CR2025 in it. It still does not work. Anyone know how to reprogram? I tried the T30 method but it didn't work.
Hi Ben, did it work before you changed the key battery? There's no separate trick to code in the buttons after changing the key battery, they automatically work. Does the key start the car?
It worked fine prior to the battery dying. I changed the battery & it no longer works, for some reason the other key has stopped working. I does fire the car up but doesn't open the doors.
Thank you so much for the detailed guide. I almost thought this key doesn't have a battery. QQ: Of course It definitely will depend how often you use the key but how long does 1 batter last generally?
Thank you for such a short but very informative video! If I may suggest: your screwdriver is way too big and it could scratch the plastic. Then: it's better to twist it open with the screwdriver and later prime it , actually drag through the edge with a creditcard to open it. The plastic the card is made of is soft and will not make any scratch. Then it's better not to touch this kind of battery (lithium) with your bare hand as this may reduce its lifespan. Having said this I liked your video very much 😊
Got the fob for our xtrail open - turns out it uses a CR 2032 instead... 2025 I bought seems to fit okay for now but I’ll probably replace it soon with the correct size. 0.7mm difference, not huge but... don’t want it to slip and short out or break the contact or whatever.
Alternatively, if you have some phone tools use the thin plastic pry edge in the side of the key fob, that will not mark the key fob, or I didn't anyways, a kitchen chopping knife will also do the job, fit it in the middle of the side. when closing it it's very important to make sure the pointed end is the first part to snap back together or you might snap off the locating lugs trying to force it together, tried and tested method, as-you-know,
Hi, thanks for this info. This is a really easy key not to get right! Like you say, you just need to take it slowly and not slip inside the key with anything that might damage the inside. Appreciate the feedback for everyone
In my experience, using a smaller size flathead worked great and no dammage to the plastic at all. Edit: Mine had 2 small notches for the flathead though.
Almost 6 years later, and you're still saving lives, thank you so much 🙏🏾
Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped :)
Yep. I second that. Really helped us a lot just now
I thought the small switch on my key would open it for the battery. I didn't know there was an actual key inside. Then I had no clue how to change the battery. What an excellent little video.
Hi Laurence, really pleased all the info helped! Thanks for watching :)
Who downvotes a video like this? Perfectly clear, well presented and explained, including risks of damage. Thank you SO much AGAIN Mr Car Key Man! :D
Hi Bernhard, well it's the internet and every channel gets down votes. What matters are that it helps some people, and your comment is really appreciated :)

Brilliant. Thank you. Not only have you saved me time for not having to go to the Nissan dealership, but also the arm and a leg they would have charged me fo the battery.
You're welcome Peter, easy when you know how ;)
Thanks man.
If I'd taken this into a dealer they would've charged me $100!
Btw: I didn't have a screw driver handy so I just used the end of a tea spoon. Worked a treat.
Hi Phil, glad it saved you some money, $100 is a bit naughty....thanks for the tip

Hi George, thanks for the info, yes the plastic tools are better, agreed
I opened it with a knife, no problem 😊
Thank you very much, honestly, I followed your video and successfully opened my wife's key without causing damage. Thank you again.
Good job, I bet she's impressed:)
Thanks mate. I thought that small switch thing opened it, but it turns out to be an actual key - which nobody at the dealership bothered to tell me. Luckily I had a battery to hand.
Yes, it would be handy to be told, but I think they just want your money…

Amazing!! Thank you so much. Your video has just saved me £70 replacing two car keys myself
Thanks Max, really pleased it made a difference to you, nice saving :)
@@TheCarKeyMan the dealership charged me £34.95 last time. I thought they had some magic gadget to change them 😆
Thank you for solving the mystery in such clear and simple terms. Opened the key minutes after watching the video
You're very welcome. Thanks for leaving some feedback and really pleased it helped :)
Quality video, very helpful. Saved fortune by not going to Nissan garage to change batteries for 2 keys. Bought 2 batteries and now working perfectly
Great news Alan, thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks Safina, really appreciate your kind words :)
Fantastic video, saved me a trip to the garage. My key was so well put together I couldn't see the seams of where it was pushed together
Great stuff Rob, glad it helped :)
Thanks it saved me time plus knew which batteries to be used. Great help from Australia.
Hi Jack, glad it helped, love Australia and hope you're keeping safe :)
I'm so happy I found this video today! Worked perfectly and saved me a visit to the garage. Thanks very much!
Well done Catherine and thanks for the feedback 😊
Excellent
- clear and at just the right pace! Battery successfully changed 👌
Great stuff Emma, thanks for your feedback :)
Thank you, followed instructions and changed the battery. I then realised that the spare key has a small metal rectangle in the key ring that is the tool for this.
Thanks so much - have saved me a few quid. Luckily I had a battery in the house already and I managed to change it in less than a minute!

Thanks for that :)
I used the blade of a pair of safety scissors and it worked well!
This is video was so helpful!
Helpful tip: If you use a mini flat-head screwdriver instead of a regular one, this will be much easier!
Thanks for the feedback John :)
Fabulous!! If I can follow the instructions and get the fob working, then anyone can! Too easy; thanks heaps!

Well done Atalya, glad it helped you :)
Does this still apply to the keys they have today? If so it will help me reduce cost so much more
Hi yes if the key looks like this one ;)

Hi Ben, did it work before you changed the key battery? There's no separate trick to code in the buttons after changing the key battery, they automatically work.
Does the key start the car?
It worked fine prior to the battery dying. I changed the battery & it no longer works, for some reason the other key has stopped working. I does fire the car up but doesn't open the doors.
Thank you so much for the detailed guide. I almost thought this key doesn't have a battery. QQ: Of course It definitely will depend how often you use the key but how long does 1 batter last generally?
Hi, I think 12-18 months normally
CR2025 battery code, great video 👍
Thanks mate! Very well explained 👍 now I can open the car quicker in the rain!
That's great Joey, thanks for the comment :)
Thanks for the video, I found a plectrum worked as well to open the key. If people Have them around…
Music to our ears! Great idea :)
I have this car
But i dont know what is the third button with 3 lines is meant for
Can someone please help me
Hi, I'm not sure, maybe the lights come on to find your car at night?
@@TheCarKeyMan thanks mate
You are a saviour, I’ve been trying to figure this out on my own for ages 😂
You're welcome, it's easy when you know how ;)
Thank you for such a short but very informative video! If I may suggest: your screwdriver is way too big and it could scratch the plastic. Then: it's better to twist it open with the screwdriver and later prime it , actually drag through the edge with a creditcard to open it. The plastic the card is made of is soft and will not make any scratch. Then it's better not to touch this kind of battery (lithium) with your bare hand as this may reduce its lifespan. Having said this I liked your video very much 😊
Thank you for your work showing us this.
You're welcome Edijs :)
Thank you. Your video helped me a lot 🎉
You're very welcome Daniel, thanks for the feedback :)
Got the fob for our xtrail open - turns out it uses a CR 2032 instead... 2025 I bought seems to fit okay for now but I’ll probably replace it soon with the correct size. 0.7mm difference, not huge but... don’t want it to slip and short out or break the contact or whatever.
Brilliant, so easy when you know what to do! Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, really pleased it helped :)
Alternatively, if you have some phone tools use the thin plastic pry edge in the side of the key fob, that will not mark the key fob, or I didn't anyways, a kitchen chopping knife will also do the job, fit it in the middle of the side. when closing it it's very important to make sure the pointed end is the first part to snap back together or you might snap off the locating lugs trying to force it together, tried and tested method, as-you-know,
Hi, thanks for this info. This is a really easy key not to get right! Like you say, you just need to take it slowly and not slip inside the key with anything that might damage the inside.
Appreciate the feedback for everyone
Many thanx for this helpful video!😊
You’re very welcome :)
Thanks, very easy to follow 👍🏻
That's great new, thanks for the feedback :)
I’ve done this but now the central locking doesn’t work, any ideas ?
Hi Aaron, did it work before?
Could this be the reason my light is in and car won’t turn over
Have you tried the emergency start ?
In my experience, using a smaller size flathead worked great and no dammage to the plastic at all.
Edit: Mine had 2 small notches for the flathead though.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Can i ask? Does this void any warranties if the car is new?
Hi, I really don't know. I would imagine that if you can change a light bulb without having to take it to the dealers, then a key battery is fine
