Thank you! Worked really good! Greetings from Germany! ( only 400 people out of 83 million in Hospital for Covid, but government is freaking out ) please check and replace THEIR batteries as well :) :):)
Trying to put the battery in there is living hell if you don't have another fob to reference to. I have replaced these before with no effort, but that was because I could look at another fob that had the battery in it. I had lost my main fob, and had to put a battery in the backup fob. I leave batteries out of it because I don't want battery leak in those expensive fobs for something I, in this case, have had to use only once since I bought the car in 2012. I tried all sorts of ways of putting it in, and just never could find that way, until I found my original main fob, and then it was super easy. For some reason I never tried the angle of entry it required, not even once. BTW, maybe I don't understand the procedure, but since I have backup actual keys of both fobs, I thought I could just use that key until you get another battery (I had two extra). The problem is it seems the actual key backup, while it will unlock everything, it will not allow you to start the car that way, even though there's a damn ignition keyhole that you actually can stick the key in and turn over - almost. It simply will not let you start the engine at all and tells you to take the KEY OUT. The only thing I can figure that may work is if you're supposed to take the key out after you attempt it, then put the turn device back on and try to start it then, but that seemed so unlikely I didn't even bother. I just can't recall some 7 1/2 years back if the salesman told me that the key was specifically designed NOT to start the car or not. Of course, I presume that the entire relationship with the remote could be bypassed, but being without a mitsu expert around I just decided to try other means, like finding the lost main fob, which I did.
Hey do you know what i need to do if after replacing battery it still says low battery? I know this post is old but it just happened to me and idk what to do
@Ed Monson yes it does. I have 2 fobs the other one was bought a year ago and hasnt been touched since then. The fob that i use daily had a battery low and i put it away and used the unused one but it still says low battery. I even drove 50km away from the first fob just to get it waaay out of range but nothing changed. Otherwise the fob is working normally and can lock/unlock doors a good distance away while the first one not as far.
@@Jay-ih5se well in my experience once the first battery is replaced they never last as long or work from as far away. Don’t know why. If I find an answer for low fob battery I’ll post it here. Got out of the car biz 3 years ago
I have had a problem. I dint see the green motherboard when I try to replace . I see a battery whatever the battery the little thing the battery hiiks to. But no green
I went to Walmart to get my car key battery replaced. At the Auto Repair department the guy at the counter told me it costs $84 for the battery and it is on sale. i drive an AWD 2014 Mitsu Outlander Sport SE. But your video showed me it is so easy to replace. Is it because it is an AWD?
HI Thanks for the view and the question. My key fob, in the video - is the most advanced key fob you could buy in 2014. There is nothing special about an AWD car as it relates to the fob. It should be the same as mine - especially if it looks like mine. Good luck.
That is a crazy price. My 2010 Outlander is AWD and the key fob uses a 3V CR2032. The back of the FOB has it in small writing. FYI These batteries cost only $5 for two here in Australia. Cant imagine in the US they would be $84 I suspect you would just be paying for the "service".
InAUGral A can of coke in Coles is about .80 cts, from a vending machine is about $3.50. In Hilton Hotel will cost you not less than $10.00. Such is life nothing crazy about it.
Im guessing he must have misunderstood and was trying to sell you a car battery. Not a battery for your car fob. The battery for the car fob shouldn't be more than $10
Thank you very much! Very helpful and saved me time and money!
Brilliantly simple. However I’d definitely recommend a camera stand! Thank you, you’ve probably just saved me £50.
😆 lol loved watching it fly of the table! Thank you... I was about to start stressing about the battery issue...but it seems like an easy fix.
This also works for key fobs on Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions.....you just have to do everything way faster. ;)
Thank you my friend. I thought you had to pry it open but I just didn’t want to break it!
I know right? Feels like anything plastic I break!
Was about to head out to dealers, went to Walmart instead n did it myself. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for the comment and the view. Glad it helped.

Thank you! Took me way longer than you but got there in the end! Saved me a few £££ as well!
You're welcome! LOL it took me longer, but I edited. ;-) Thank you for the view and comment.

Thanks man. Nice and simple
DID THAT AND DASH LIGHT SAYING MY KEY FOB BATTERY IS LOW IS STILL ON ?? HOW DO I GET IT TO GO OFF ?
Never seen that. Old battery?
This was a great video, it save me some money and time. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the view and the comment. Glad you are getting some use from this.
Hey do you know what i need to do if after replacing battery it still says low battery? I know this post is old but it just happened to me and idk what to do
If you have more than one fob does it say that for either of them? Ruling out a possible different issue with one fob.
@Ed Monson yes it does. I have 2 fobs the other one was bought a year ago and hasnt been touched since then.

Thanks so much I was about to spend buch of money at the dealership so happy I didn't
jon king you’re welcome
so great tutorial#PhilCanTV
Thanks Ed
So you skipped the most important thing? How to pry the fob. Once it's open everything's child play.
a life saver ❤️
Thanks like it
Thanks, from 🇬🇧
Glad it helped
This should have been a 30 sec video
Thanks for the view and comment. These were all experiments. Sorry you aren’t pleased.
Definitely helped me though!

Nice job pausing before the actual removal of the cover 😒
Very bad you take a long time.
