That was my job for about a year.. local company refurbishes and manufactures key fobs and remotes.. now I supervise the department that makes aftermarket versions of the keys/remotes..!
when you try unlocking or locking and nothing happens... or when you press either button and the red indicator light doesn't light up actually when it takes longer than usual for the car to respond to locking or unlocking, then you might want to change the battery. you don't want to be caught in the middle of the night, in a deserted place with a dead battery key fob right?
Thanks for posting this. Once you take that screw out it is not that complicated as it might seem. What they messed up is that little screw that is so difficult to open as it gets stuck due being unopened for years. I think in later model they got rid of that but it is really stupid design for just changing the battery. I really struggled with that stupid little screw--So Screw you Honda!!
oh man, you're so right! hahahaha i see what you did there! i think they did it this way so you'd need to go back to them so they can charge you a replacement fee LOL
well, i think they don't want you to replace it on your own... they want you to bring it to the dealership so they can charge you a ridiculous amount just to change the battery...
And today, three years later, An Iranian in Norway, watched your video. Think about that 🌍. Easy replacement with your instruction. Thanks
no prob man, I'm just glad I could help 😀
Grazie, molto utile e chiaro

How do you replace the whole case ?? Mine has worn off
oh sorry, I don't know
TQ
Hi Sir, is it must be 1616 type of battery ?
yes, or equivalent, coz some batteries have different name or code designation depending on which country or region you buy it from
@@chefatron well noted, thank you very much. God bless
🔑 🗝
You'd think they'd make it easier to replace than to completely taking it apart.

@@chefatron Yeah, You sure showed them!
Thats not the original CRV fob!
it's the fob we have for our 2013 Honda CRV
note to self: CR1616 battery
cool man
That is the most over engineered and non user friendly key fob I’ve ever seen for changing the battery.
yup
too complicated of a transformation for me :-)
hahaha
