2014 Toyota Prius FOB Battery Replacement

[@cherry_blue]

This guy deserves an award for how clear and to the point this tutorial is

[@cfldriven]

Like you I prefer videos that are clear, concise and to the point, so I strive to do the same. Thank you for watching and for the feedback.

@@shanebruegger5474 I would like to thank all the viewers that made this possible. Thanks for the kind words.

[@beyondallcontrol]

Bless you, Dear Friend! My dad always helped me change my battery but he died this year and I was sad I didn't have anyone else to ask for help. Thank you for being there when I needed it. I wish my dad was changing it but glad to have humans who help each other. ❤

Good to hear this video could help. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write.

It’s 2024 and your video is still useful….thank you 👏

Good to hear this video is still helpful. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write.

[@annmariegibb3901]

I’m a very senior lady, and your video was straightforward, easy to follow. Thanks!

[@cfldriven]

I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback and glad to hear the video helped. Thank you for watching.

[@tarunovega6255]

These instructions were so good that put to shame the Toyota manual explanations of "how to change the battery" in the smart key! In the manual there is NO illustration of WHERE is the battery to be changed, and all they show is what is under the circuit, not that the illustration shown is what you can see AFTER you have lifted the circuit panel as shown here. This is a good instructor; I wish he had been hired to design the manual.

[@cfldriven]

Taruno, thanks for the kind words. I try making these videos so they are easy to follow and thorough. Most manual are lacking in both regards.

[@judyjagusztyn784]

Thank you so much. Saved me time and money by not having to go to the dealer for such a simple procedure!!

[@cfldriven]

Glad the video saved you some time and money. You may want to also swap a new battery in the other FOB. Thanks for watching.

[@LuciaFiero]

Problem solved just in time! Batteries arrived from Amazon yesterday and today neither of my keys would start my car! All sorted now, thanks to you! Thank you!

[@cfldriven]

Just know the key hidden in the fob will unlock the door and will also get the car started. Once inside press the start button and follow the prompts on the dash display. Glad the video helped and thanks for watching.

[@jazznoteblue5393]

Thank you. Im 85, never heard of a fob. Instructions are so good!

[@cfldriven]

Carol Ann, thank you for watching and taking the time to write.

[@karlbe8414]

Crystal clear. Side note, you can not only get into your Prius with a dead FOB battery, but , you can start it by holding the FOB next to the start button and it should read it and allow ignition. I only have one FOB with my just purchased Gen 3 Pruis. 57.2mpg on the drive home from the dealership! That's the only driving that I have done, so far. :)

[@cfldriven]

You are correct even with a dead FOB you can start the Prius kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWiYiYKZltB2fcU. I would look into having a spare FOB in case yours gets lost or damage. BTW congrats on the Gen3, probably the most practical of all the gens available. Tons of cargo space and a money saver.

[@dh2950]

Thank you! This was more useful than other video on KZbin. I did the entire thing using the key itself and not needing a screwdriver

[@cfldriven]

We strive to stay on topic and keep each video concise. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

[@S-A23]

You are such an amazing person at giving directions. I am clueless and this was super helpful. I appreciate it a lot.

[@cfldriven]

Thank you for the kind feedback and for watching.

[@mrd7006]

Great explanation and video. So nice to have just the necessary information without a lot of extra small talk.

[@cfldriven]

You mean you don't want to hear about my cousin Bob and the time he and Ricky went.... Thank you for the nice feedback and for watching.

[@georgemandler910]

Thank you- You just saved me a ton of aggravation as the Toyota manual is way more confusing. A clear and precise video. Thanks!

[@cfldriven]

Exactly why I made this video, the manual is a bit lacking when it comes to this simple procedure. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@daniellecarney1487]

Thank you so much for this clear and helpful video. You saved me a lot of stress , and it was very easy to do by myself. Most tutorials show the battery right at the top, and I’m glad you dealt with this particular issue with my year and make.

[@cfldriven]

Danielle, so good to hear this video was helpful. Congrats on doing the job yourself. Thank you for watching and the kind feedback.

[@DramaticTamandua]

This video explained clearly how to do what I needed to do and now my key is working again. Thank you very much!

[@cfldriven]

Love it when one of our video helps someone. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share.

[@runswithsissors45]

Thx again. I used this video a couple of years again and, just used it again to replace my Prius key fob battery a 2nd time. What DID we do before KZbin? LOL!

[@cfldriven]

There are times I have to look up my own videos relearn how I did it years before. Glad it helped again.

[@JContrerasSAE]

You saved me $70 that the dealership wanted to charge me for a replacement battery. Thank you!

[@cfldriven]

You would think that for something this simple maybe $10 would go a long way to show they appreciate your business. Glad you saved some money and got it working. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@stellarowe8559]

Very good easy to follow and clear directions of how to replace a 2014 Prius battery.

[@cfldriven]

Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for viewing.

[@jamarmillare3673]

Very informative. Not sure if I overlooked it, but I simply couldn't find the instructions in the manual. Other videos also weren't as helpful. Thanks for a great demo!!

[@cfldriven]

Jamar, it is kind of hidden as it is not in the index, but you will find it on page 460 of the 2014 manual. Glad you enjoyed the video and if you can subscribe. Thank you.

[@rotesalri]

Great job explaining this battery replacement. A little tricky and your words and video make it easy.

[@cfldriven]

Glad it helped you get the job done. Thank you for watching and the feedback.

[@richardhernandez1160]

OMG! Thank you! I was worried that I'd have to pay a fortune to get my battery replaced. The last thing I need is another bill, right now. This is super easy! Thanks for the video! You saved the life of a stranger in New Mexico. Haha

[@cfldriven]

It is always wonderful to hear that a simple video helped. Thank you for the feedback and spread the word.

[@carolynmccollum5407]

The best instruction video for this battery replacement! Everything is clear and explained well in a concise way! YAY!!

[@paulbrown8037]

First time replacing battery. This video is so clear and the step by step and the great tips are a God send. Thank you. You made this so easy even for someone who is not very handy. Bless you for your willingness to teach us.

[@SatiJaya]

Just want to say thank you for making such a clear, instructional video. It's so helpful. This is the second battery I've needed to replace over the years and it's great to have this as a reference to come back to.

[@cfldriven]

Thank you for the feedback, glad the video is helping others make short work of replacing the FOB battery without a trip to the dealer.

[@2iis4u]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was so confused and stressed, and your video helped me. We need more good Samaritans like you in the world.

[@cfldriven]

Appreciate the comment and delighted you found it useful.

[@peterboogaard327]

Very nice. In my 2016 Prius manual nothing is mentioned how to change the battery ( Dutch version). The video was self explanatory and shows that no paper manuals are needed anymore. Nice job. BTWay, my battery only lasted 11 month on a new car.

[@cfldriven]

Our 2014 Prius came with a manual and DVD, the instructions for replacing the fob battery were almost impossible to locate and the DVD didn't cover the subject. In four years of ownership we have switched out each fob battery just once. Most of that time the car was in southern Calif and not subjected to cold weather which I believe extended the usable life of the battery. Thanks for writing and watching.

[@scanzaroli]

I'll echo what previous posts have said. Thank you so much! I'm certain I would have broken it trying to take it apart. I appreciate you!

[@cfldriven]

Well then I'm glad this video helped to prevent that. Thank you for watching and taking the time to provide feedback.

[@echoheron9188]

Really a great demo - straightforward explanation and demo!! Saved me an expensive trip to the Toyota dealer. Thank you so much!!!

[@annetteturner728]

THANK YOU!! SO much easier than finding the book and trying to figure it out from there!

[@cfldriven]

Prob is even if you pulled the manual, it is not indexed so it hard to find the info. Thank you for the feed back and if you can subscribe.

[@lydgate3419]

Thanks so much for making this instructional video. I would NEVER have intuited/trial and errored my way through this successfully.

[@annmorse2552]

thank you! i watched videos by two others that did not help at all. And yours was just right!

[@cfldriven]

Ahhh yes in the future check here first. LOL Thanks for the feedback and glad vid was helpful.

[@davidlglazer]

Thank you! The fob was baffling me until I watched your video!

[@cfldriven]

Glad it helped. You would think that by now the manufacturers might make these more intuitive.

[@cgrinna]

No finger(s) were busted in the making of the video. Thank you for the feedback.

[@cfldriven]

Congrats on saving yourself some time and money. I try to keep a spare battery in the garage, because when one goes the other isn't too far behind it.

[@AHF75]

Thank you for making this so easy. You cover all the angles!

[@cfldriven]

Your most welcome, just wanted to enable folks to do it themselves and save time and money. Thanks for the feedback.

[@abudebbie]

Perfect!! Easy as can be to do something that wasn't intuitive on its own. Thanks!!

[@cfldriven]

It sorta like magic, once you know the secret it is easy. Thanks for viewing.

[@ClairvoyantLady]

Yes! Visuals and directions remarkably clear and understandable

[@jjackson8667]

Excellent video! My 2015 Prius has the same remote as your 2014. 2016+ Prius remote is similar but uses a CR2032 battery.

[@bobbiesavitz3134]

Is there only one size (CR-1632) battery for the 2010 battery fob? My husband's door OPEN function stopped working. So I put in the board from the backup and it didn't work--until I put in the OLD battery. I got it working, but I didn't see the CR1632 on the Maxell battery. I don't want to open it again now that it works, so let me know if you have info about another coin battery that works. Great video. I'm 77 and grew up in a time where "girls" didn't know shit about fixing things. Thanks to people like you and KZbin, I'm am now looked upon by my husband (who couldn't fix a coin if it was heads and he wanted tails ha) as Super Woman. I love fixing things--and the dealer wanted $200 for the fob and $150 to program it. Hey folks, don't go to dealers, go to KZbin. Thanks 1632 times!

[@cfldriven]

CR-1632 is the battery for Gen3 Prius, it maybe diff for the C or 5 models. Perhaps the battery either failed or was placed in backwards, only a guess on my part. BTW I taught my daughter to change a tire, and although at the time she grumbled, she thanked me many years later when she know exactly what to do. Thank you for the feedback and for sharing.

[@bobbiesavitz3134]

Will you be my Dad? I’m old but still useful. You are great. Ordered new CR-1632 batteries. Does anything make them last as in leak less? Tell your daughter, she lucked out. Thanks again...

[@cfldriven]

@@bobbiesavitz3134 Thank you for making my day. If by leak you mean the battery draining over time, the only thing you can really do is not install it until needed. The fob emits a single all the time, it is how the car knows if the fob is inside the car when locking the doors form the outside or when the fob is no longer in the car and the motor is on. Therefore if you are not using both fobs you could tape the battery to the outside until such time as you need it. Hope that helps.

[@SteveFox66]

Well done, great video, you saved me trolling thru the manual....... Thank you
