CR 2430 Battery that you need - amzn.to/2XtxtoH

[@WriterandPhotographer]

As someone else stated, if you slide the lever to the left, it creates a small space that can be used with a small slotted screwdriver, to pry the two halves of the keyfob case apart. Also, avoid actually touching the surface of either battery. Thanks for the video.

After about an hour of playing with the fob, saw this and was saved quickly....thanks

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@mercedes138]

Ended up stabbing my finger using these instructions. It works better if you put the screwdriver in the hole and push the cover open from the inside...no blood loss!

[@atkt62]

This video is more helpful than the volvo manual. Many thanks

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad it was helpful!

[@billme372]

Thanks for the video. That was very helpful. And also the link for the battery! I had better luck popping the cover by putting the screwdriver blade in the hole that opens up when sliding the catch for the aluminum key to the side. That minimizes the chance of scratching the cover.

[@KeyFobRob]

Nice work!

[@DirtyBasstard86]

I did it through the hole of the aluminium key.

[@obyr97]

I know this is late but this worked for me too! Thanks for the advice! The side was too small for my bit

[@israelpatino7250]

Muchas gracias por este tutorial!!, Me ahorraste dinero

[@KeyFobRob]

De nada!

[@DarknEssMGs]

Protip - if youre gonna change the batteries, do it as fast as possible, otherwise the key might get desynched. The same case applies if the batteries are "full" dead for a while

[@durugeorge8897]

How do you resynch it ? Does it imply a trip to the dealer or can you do it yourself?

[@alexgodfrey5451]

I second this. Both my sets of keys died within a week. Ordered new batteries online because 2430s are impossible to find, took too long and I no longer have a working key fob. It’s lovely

[@nitac5120]

Thank you so much it was very hey

[@KeyFobRob]

You are so welcome

[@cosmicman333]

The little tab was missing that goes between the batteries. There was a 2350 thicker battery instead of two 2430s. Can I install two 2430s without the spacer? Thx

[@venessaking6641]

Help… I know I placed batteries correctly but it won’t open doors. I’ve ended the car put key in it won’t start?

[@Shanvalley]

Hi there What does that ‘i’ mean on that car keys and how to turn off alarm. If you could tell me plz?

[@milossimic5868]

I- is information on the status of the car doors lock position. If you are in the car key sensor range it will show you real status. If you are out of the range it will show you last status key had while it was in car sensor range. Alarm you can partially switch off true car menu/my car/....

[@jacobhume9067]

Make sure you slide the silver latch over to get the screwdriver under it so you don’t tear up the plastic ❤

[@kimaminu55]

Doe that but warning still showing. Any ideas? Thanks for the vid!

[@konsti76]

Köszönöm a gyors segítséget!

[@hidemichiXT]

Anyone know why does it require two batteries? Is it to higer voltage from 3 to 6V? I just replaced batteries in booth keys and on booth keys the covering distance remained very low. I need to stand no more than 3 meters from the car to lock it remotely and I need to nearly touch the doors or boot to get it opened using keyless :-/ Also although the batteries are fresh my Volvo says 'replace key battery' from time to time

[@robgibson6884]

Dont use screwdriver to pry open use the tail end of the key just before you remove it from the body

[@frederickhalgedahl8725]

Hello Rob! Thanks so much for this video. I'd forgotten my XC70 fob in my swim trunks so it went through a soak and spin rinse, and then a drying cycle during which it exited the trunks and came completely apart. I was able to resurrect all parts except for the minute spring that holds the emergency key latch in place-but I'd closed the case before realizing I was missing something. That's where your video came in handy. I used the watch strap tool I use to remove spring bars to open it, replaced the latch (minus the spring) and it works fine as long as I don't giggle it too much. Perhaps somewhere I can find such a small spring, but it isn't entirely necessary. And the fob works just as well as it ever did. So appreciate your cheerful assistance! FH

[@KeyFobRob]

Good stuff! Really glad this video could help you get your fob sorted out. Take care!!

[@sanmariemichau8150]

Thanks for this helpful video.

[@KeyFobRob]

You're welcome!

[@barbaratischler4212]

thanks a million! this was very helpful!

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad it helped!

[@miltonwillis84]

Nice and quick!

[@KeyFobRob]

Thanks!

[@eetra8988]

I replace the battery but it still won’t unlock my car but the ignitions turns on and can drive away

[@John-ec2eg]

Use this video, NOT the factory one.

[@kevinbell976]

Since ive replaced the battery, keyless entry doesnt work anymore, also cant startvehicle unless key is in slot.

[@KeyFobRob]

Most common case is the new battery is dead or upside down.

[@DarknEssMGs]

@@KeyFobRob not neccesarily, the key might be desynched
