Wife got a rental yesterday and she noticed her keyfob was working intermetetly. I told her it sounds like the battery is dead, we'll deal with it tomorrow. Sure enough. After watching this video, getting the unit open. The battery was as dead as a doornail. Thank you for sharing this video, came in handy for me. I am waiting to get a battery. And some one said something about not pushing buttons while the battery is out. Um, battery has nothing to do with the hard coded programming of the transponder and if a battery goes completely dead is the same thing as not having battery, so when you push the buttons and it doesn't work is the same thing. So do not worry about pushing buttons without a battery.
Incase yall are wondering, the key DOES NOT need to be reprogrammed after a battery swap. Just dont push ANY buttons on the key fob with the battery out.
Holy cow this is how they get away with charging you for battery replacement huh my 08 you just pop your key in the side and boom pop the old one out new one in, my girlfriend has a 2020 Kia forte I didn’t imagine I would be watching a key fob battery replacement video but anyhoo thanks for the great video!
Great Video! Thank you! Why on Earth would KIA make you need a screw driver to change a battery? That sucks if you have a spare battery and no screw driver handy. Neither my Chevy or Honda require a screwdriver.
It's in the first part of the video it's also in the description and it's also pinned to the top portion of the comment section. I I don't see how it's humanly possible to miss it
@@KeyFobRob i can’t believe I almost sent these to Kia. Thanks for the VID I’m gonna go replace them ASAP. probably gonna saved a few hundred bucks lol.

What happens if the batteries are changed but only the lock button works? I’m struggling and looking for answers 😅

You can use the mechanical key in a pinch but it's a lot easier to destroy the plastic

Questions if the key’s battery is not working well can the car not start ? Because it might not unlock the alarm properly?
A dead fob can cause the car not to start

Could have said what type of battery also takes two seconds in your video

For sure. It's pretty likely they would have pulled some shenanigans and tried to bill you a hundred bucks 🤬
If you could pick up your battery from my Amazon link, that would be very much appreciated
