So I pull into my driveway after buying my equinox, so happy! Then i get this alert. I was so mad. Thank you for this video. A trip to walgreens saved me a trip back to the dealership

[@Searsey]

Great video, Short cut, As your pulling the key out about half way, simply tilt the key to pop the top off.

[@KeyFobsPlus]

Thanks for that tip!

[@jsp2568]

Excellent!

[@YellowSn0man]

This comment is wrong. The passage for the metal key is fully enclosed in a single piece of plastic. You can see it in the video. Twisting it or prying with the key halfway out will only break things.

[@SilentSlasherKyle]

@@YellowSn0man No. YOU are wrong. Even in Chevy videos, they show this trick to opening it. And I literally just replaced the battery in mine a few moments ago with the same trick.

[@sweetbrownsugar2313]

I know I’m a year late lol but I definitely tried it your way without the screw driver and it it worked. Thanks a lot !!

[@derricksearles610]

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been thinking I needed to call the dealership to do this. Nope. Doing it myself for both FOBS. THANK YOU!!

[@KeyFobsPlus]

Glad it helped!

[@ariessuggs3819]

I know it's been 5 years but does this require you to sync the key fob with your car again? my key fob is low on battery lolol

[@KeyFobsPlus]

You should not have to reprogram the remote when replacing the battery.

[@DayzGone]

The FOB itself looks pretty much empty but it has some weight to it. On average, how long does the battery last?

[@KeyFobsPlus]

With normal use a battery should last a few years.

[@mannyctrends2010]

Helpful video but you failed to mention some critical things, that can cause significant time and frustration if you're not watching out for it: 1. THE SPRING! Depending on how the Fob enclosure happens to come apart, the components you move may already stay on the other half. The little silver lever, whose end is the release button is very lightly held in place in a groove, retaining a tiny spring that provides the pressure for the key release button. If it happens to move out of that grove a little bit the spring can go shooting somewhere into the universe. Mine did so and I was incredibly fortunate to be able to find it several feet away on the floor with a flashlight. When when I first put it back together it wasn't back in the groove quite right, and I managed to miss form the end of it when I was putting the metal key back in the slot. I had to try to carefully bend it back into shape. It didn't manage to shoot away again while trying to get it back in the slot, this time I amazingly heard it land in a box several feet away, and was able to retrieve it once again. Finally on the third try I got it back in just right. If you're just aware that can happen, and make sure that little lever stays in the groove while you take apart it will all be fine. 2. Have your new battery ready to go. There are reports of some people losing the Fob's code and having to reprogram the vehicle to recognize it. That likely would be from either allowing the fob battery to run all the way down, we're leaving the battery out of the fob for an extended period of time. It's not a big race but I wouldn't recommend removing the battery and then leaving it out for an hour or two while driving to the store to get one. And replace it rather than procrastinate when the vehicle warned you more than once that it is getting low. 3. Go easy on the plastic while prying with a screwdriver. The little plastic tabs around the battery and button slide can snap off if you are reckless.

[@KeyFobsPlus]

Thank you for sharing all of this.

Thanks. The lighting was too dark to see how to open the case. It was not clear.

[@KeyFobsPlus]

Sorry about the lighting. Once you remove the key, there should be a gap between the two sides of the case. Here you can slip in the flathead to pry it open. Hope that helps! Like and subscribe for more Chevrolet Equinox videos.

[@898doffo]

You do not have to use a screwdriver and gouge your key fob. Use a plastic tool to do it so you don't scrape the thing up.

[@cesparza7438]

What is the key for?

[@KeyFobsPlus]

That is a key to get into the vehicle if your battery dies. You have a key slot in the drivers door handle that will allow you to insert a key to unlock the door.

[@penelopetc]

If your key fob does not open your car door you use the key to get in your car.

[@ghosttrain5588]

I know with my 2018 Malibu there is no key hole on any of my doors

[@scottsimmons9392]

SteelToe Cowboy it’s hidden on driver door handle, you stick the key in at the bottom right side of driver door handle then the cap comes off and you insert the key into the door to unlock.
