    It's already been said.. but you're a saint. 2 minutes, no BS, even an Amazon link to the battery? Bravo, sir.

    Clear, concise and under 2 minutes. Thanks man I appreciate this. Just got the pop up alert on my 2016 pony telling me to change this battery and started freaking out thinking the key fob was about to die at any moment.

    • @KeyFobRob

      Glad you got that sorted out!

    • @DavyDave1313
      @DavyDave1313 4 года назад

      You got a warning for that? I never got a warning it just said "key not detected" while driving and now my main and my spare fobs do not work - not even in the cupholder slot. Gonna buy these new batteries and try swapping it out and I pray that is the only issue

    • @DagenhamDave59
      @DagenhamDave59 4 года назад

      DavyDave1313 yeah, I got an alert on my screen. That’s odd that you didn’t get an alert. Maybe your battery died out of nowhere. I’d get some spares.

    • @DavyDave1313
      @DavyDave1313 4 года назад

      DagenhamDave59 my car has a custom radio that’s done some funky stuff to the car so it’s anyone’s guess what’s happening. Right now the car doesn’t detect both key fobs and even putting it in the cup holder doesn’t work. The alarm still works just fine tho. It loves blaring every time I open the door

    When my first fob battery needed replacing, the dealership charged me. Never used my 2nd fob. 5 years later, it's falling apart and beat up, so now I figured I'd use the 2nd fob that's in immaculate condition. When I used it, I got the battery low indicator. This time, I'll change it myself and I'm sure it's an easy process just as long as I know how. So I came here and omg... took about a minute. Can't believe they charged me for this back then. Thanks! Best part was... I had a package of 2025 batteries in the kitchen drawer! No need to go to the store!

    Thank you! You are amazing! My key fob came apart and one piece fell on the ground at the store today. Have not ever used the key to open the door and had no clue where to even put the key into on the handle. When I called the Ford Dealership where I purchased and take my car to get serviced, the guy that answered the phone really wasn’t helpful at all in anyway. I was able to get it put together enough to where I could get my trunk and car door to open! I got home and knew I had another key fob. I found your video and wow! You made it so simple to change the battery from the broken one and place them into my other key fob. You totally made my day!!!

    You just saved me like $300. I changed the battery on another key fob and couldn't figure out how to put the fob back together. The dealership "tried" and couldn't get it to close, then sold me a fob cover. I recently planned to purchase a new one. They were going to charge me over $200 for a new fob and then another $50 or so to program it. Just watching your video showed me how to put the old one back together. And like you said, it is a little tricky but you have to listen for that little click and voila it's back together again. It's been in the cover for about 4 years. SMH. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you. 🙏🏽

    Really helpful video, thank you.
    Interesting, if concerning point though, from the moment the car alerted me to the battery needing to be changed to the key actually dying was one locking and 1 unlocking so all I can recommend is that as SOON as you see the warning, change them.
    But a great video,

    Good video and I have now put new batteries in both of my key fobs for my 2015 Mustang GT Premium but what you do not explain is how the 2 new batteries should go in if you forget to look at how the old ones were placed/sitting...i.e. each battery has writing/numbers on only one side of the battery but do they go in with those sides facing each other or not or does it matter? In case it does matter, I replicated how the old ones were sitting which was with the bottom one with the writing side facing up but the top battery with the writing side facing down. Any comment? However on another subject, what is strange is that my dash warning is still on when I enter my car saying key battery low-replace soon. Unless someone here has the answer for that issue, I will have to search on-line or call my dealer to get rid of that warning. BTW, my new CR2025 batteries have a best before date of May 2021 so I think they should be fine unless they were sitting in the store too long before I bought them a few months ago (in Feb. 2020) and are not fresh enough for the purpose of the warning...?

    Does it matter what side the batter is flipped to when placing it in the key fob? Like does a certain side need to be facing up?

      It does matter. It's been a while since I changed this but just follow what I did on this fob and you'll be good to go.

      It's not absolutely necessary but that is what you would use if you were locked out of your car if the fob died. There is a slot by the door handle to insert.

    Can you use 2032 battery aswell?

      Technically, they are very similar batteries and are generally interchangeable as long as you have enough room. I wouldn't think it would be a problem.
