How to change your car key battery.

[@daviddylanharris]

You are so awesome! I thought this was going to take a trip to the dealer and more than a hundred bucks. This is going to take a five dollar battery and two minutes. Thank you so much!

[@mr.tuckers2848]

Thanks for the tip- it really helped me a lot. For those who do not have a pry tool or flat screwdriver to use for removing the plastic case, I used the key itself and the thickness of the key worked to perfection in opening up the case. Cheers!!

[@goblazers78749]

So glad I didn't follow the ifixit advice of using a spudger to pry apart the two halves, and followed this videos tip instead - thanks

[@robertsimonofsky3959]

thank you for saving me a trip to Honda. So you saved me 40 minutes in my day...what gift....thank you Robert

[@Christian-fp9bq]

Thanks for sharing! Worked like a charm. I used the key itself instead of a screwdriver, it worked just fine and saved me a trip to my toolbox.

[@EKHOPproductions]

Thank you to all involved in this production. My blood pressure was reaching critical levels til I found this. This is the only video out of 4 that I watched that includes where EXACTLY the screwdriver goes to pry open.

[@theNVMEproject]

Thanks man I didn't want to go to Honda and have them do it, so far from where i live and thank god I found 4 of these batteries in my house

[@obsession0001]

This video is way better to understand than the owner's manual. Thanks.

[@21kaylanicole]

You just saved me $80! Thank you so much, this was so quick and easy to do!

[@mnc467]

Very glad this video was available. The manual for my car gave me most of the info I needed but it was good to see it physically done so I knew exactly what I was doing

[@vbless]

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I was able to replace the battery in just a few minutes.

[@slickpanther06]

Why would anyone dislike a DIY video??? People will dislike anything!

[@haroldz123]

U can actually use the spare insert key to pry open it

[@EmerlyNickel]

can confirm. this is what I did

[@robp4616]

Yep, I think that's what they intended those notches for. The key that is removed from the remote fits perfectly between them to pry it open when twisting.

[@afafel7948]

My car showed that key battery is low.. I tested the battery and it was 2.9V .. I don't understand why? The CR 2032 is 3V

[@protexusa]

because lets say if you have brand new 1.5V battery if you measure it it has 1.63V so if it fall below 1.5V (to 1.2-1.4V )is not good for something what needs big drain so you can use it for TV remote control but not for clock .

[@lorrainewahlquist391]

Thank you. Very hard getting battery out and whole thing fell apart, but the pieces were easy to put back together and it worked. Saved $30.00 at the dealership. I used a penny to open it.

[@surban4369]

Thank you, sir. I had to come to KZbin to find out how to replace the remote's battery. Not one word about how to do this in the owner's manual.

[@DIYCarModz]

Thank you for watching.

[@ilikemyrealname]

I just gripped it with my two hands and pulled it right apart. No problem whatsoever. Thank you for the video.

[@harlumjp]

Thanks! I couldn't get my case open easily at first I was concerned I would crack the housing or notches. This video will help so thanks.

[@susanbrishaber2092]

Thank you!!!! I was headed to the dealership, then thought I would check online first. I used the valet key to open, very quick & easy.

[@DIYCarModz]

+Susan Brishaber You're welcome.

[@chefjefe68]

Thanks for posting this. Got a 2 pack of batteries for 7.99 at my local Walgreen's, and no more warning light in the dash. Who knows how much the Stealership would have charged me.

[@scarletrosel]

+Jeff Mazzoni woah that's a lot .. mind was $4.50 in Tennessee

[@9quaqua]

+Jeff Mazzoni~ Dealership in VA Beach, VA charges $10 to change batteries but Car Modz charged me free via this video, Yaaay and Thank You !

[@freebirdiii]

$10 plus the cost of the new battery or just $10?

[@MissRnH]

Just in case anyone's wondering, works the same for Honda Civic 2015. Thank you for the help! Last time the dealership just randomly changed my fob's battery without asking and charged me $30 for it. I just did it today for $6.

[@DavidHuffTexas]

Thanks! I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to open the body of the key fob. Once I watched, it was easy!

[@bennysurio]

Thank you! I have to replace my key fob battery. Keep producing this kind of video.

[@doughaney42]

I used the end of the key to open the case. Very quick and easy! Thanks for the video!

[@petiteetngo]

When in doubt, KZbin it out. Thank you DiyCarModz. Now I can brag about this to my wife!

[@estherlively5170]

Awesome !! Helped my bf who didn't know how to do it!! Love the step by step instructions !!

[@DIYCarModz]

congrats and thanks for watching.

[@mitchweisel]

Perfect, since this DIY instructs the easiest way to open the keyfob. Removing the battery was actually the hardest part.

[@Mmilitaryman]

Thank you for the video, followed the steps you suggested and everything went smoothly.

[@ravindranathmishra2087]

My dad's Honda key was not working properly... His car dealer said something un-common sense-like and he was not sure if it would work... Sure enough, it did not... Still, he was not sure about how to change the batteries... So he gave me a challenge to change the batteries... Of course, your video was very helpful... Thank you...

[@fuguf1sh]

Thanks for the video. My 2013 Accord told me today that the fob battery was low. Took me 1 minute to change out.

[@VRoseV12]

Thank you for this!! Worked for my 2015 Fit. Same fob minus the trunk button

[@montsergirl]

thank you!!! i couldn’t get mine open! I was scared I was gonna bust it right open!

[@DIYCarModz]

+Montsergirl Thank you for watching. Glad it was helpful.

[@MrFrisbeeGuy]

Thanks, DiyCarModz. Very short and easy-to-understand video. Nice job !

[@michaelrwimberly1914]

Slick quick explanation...easy for anyone to change the battery .....Thanks

[@season387]

Thanks for the video. It surprised me when my 14 civic with the smart keyfob told me to change the battery. It lasted lasted 2 years .

[@scscarborough]

An easy (and inexpensive) fix with your instructive video. Thank you, sir!

[@rozeAC]

[@DIYCarModz]

+baharbh Thank you for watching.

[@anneking7854]

Thanks! I knew it had to be easy, but I was afraid to pry the key fob open.

[@bigmoosehead]

Remarkably good video! And I like that you can use the key itself to pry the thing open. Much appreciated.

[@toyonguyen2495]

Thank you,The key is the two notches where to apply little force to open it.

[@pkScary]

Perfect video - quick and straight to the point. Saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you!

[@janice47]

Easy peasy! Thanks!!! First time I did not peel off the plastic on the battery - had to do it twice;(

[@susanliwrenn9933]

Thank you for the video. I was wondering how to open the remote. I used the Honda key to pry open the smart entry remote, so really no other tools are needed to replace the battery.

[@Mabeshark]

Thank you kind sir. very helpful. replaced the battery for less than $4! the dealer wanted almost $20!

[@asit1906]

Thank you very much for this I don’t need to go to Honda at this pandemic

[@jayavanjani2994]

Thanks for posting this. I was able to change the battery in a jiffy.

[@mchtower1]

Thanks, I was able to change out the battery in both fobs pretty quickly and easily

[@janinegardner3367]

What a helpful video. So easy. Thanks so much!!!! This took a lot of anxiety out of my morning.

[@balanar622]

[@AustinHorstman]

I didn't need to use anything, just pried the two pieces apart with my fingers. Thanks for the guide.

[@DIYCarModz]

Nice. Congrats.

[@tinarose854]

[@drahmedhusseina]

[@hnoyola1520]

Great video man, easy to follow and it saved me from taking it to the dealer and spending time there.

[@maryhosford6350]

Thanks so much! Couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to open that thing with a coin which is what the Honda manual says.

[@dhjohn75]

Thanks, you just saved me a trip to Honda

[@JesseMontalvo]

Wow! That was quick and easy! Thank you for the step by step video

[@Sirrantsalot]

[@brandonyam9859]

Thank you so much!! Just in time I need to replace the battery of my 2014 Honda Odyssey.

[@alidoe115]

[@michaelf5565]

[@Peterjbowen313]

Thanks - saved me both time and money - seriously thanks for being an information sharer😊

[@kristaledbetter6606]

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to get it open.

[@DIYCarModz]

+Krista Ledbetter Thank you for watching. Glad it was useful for you.

[@musicofourheart]

Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealer! Two thumbs up!

[@lvcton.1872]

Thank you! I bought the battery before watching the video and wound up with a 2025. It fit, but will it be ok to use in my fob?

[@OzzieAlfonso]

Another thank you. I'm wondering, how long the fob battery lasts? One of two remote keys. One is fine, the other has the light flashing but I can still get the horn to go off (panic mode) from a block away. So I'm curious to find out how early in the battery's life the blinker begins to flash.

[@kayerk8209]

Thank you for posting the video! It worked just fine for me.

[@1narfstein]

This was very helpful. But when I did it the battery holder popped out and all the little pieces with the pictures of the lock, unlock trunk and alarm fell out. I was able to put it back together but be careful to keep it from all falling apart.

[@wfmssportsvideos8777]

Thanks, Jeff! KZbin strikes Awesomeness again!

[@587motorman]

How you people put a thumbs down? Thank you for the video help me open the FOB to dry out after forgetting to remove from pants before wash.

[@annsin4560]

Thanks for this video, if you have a Dollar Tree close by you can get a two pack of the CR2032 batteries for $1. I appreciate the video it helped me save some money.

[@gbautista34]

Perfect. This was very helpful. Thank you for showing us how to do this!

[@robertdevendorf2863]

Thank you! Easy to follow instructions, very helpful!

[@DRSJKS]

That video was just what I was looking for!!! Right on the mark! Perfect! Love it!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!

[@BritainW]

Thank you! I was hoping it would be this simple.

[@keithpinkston5432]

Excellent! Simple instructions and a great video! Thank you!

[@tomwilkins4843]

Be sure that the metal "eye" part is turned so opening is crosswise to the fob, or the metal key itself will NOT insert fully and lock into place when re-inserting it.

[@CorporalCookieGaming]

Saved me a ton of frustration. Thank you!

[@Mazxlol]

Thanks!! I think I will just use my other remote that came with the car! And then replace the batter a few years later :)

[@recreational2011]

Just changed my battery, according to this video, in less than 5 minutes. Take your time, do it on a flat surface, and don't force anything. The cr-2032 is a very common lithium battery; buy them in a 4 or 6 pack if you have several lithium-battery operated items.

[@hurly720]

Thank you. I just used the key to pry it open

[@hillar09]

Very fast Excellent really helpful I was in a hurry Thanks

[@apexguy593]

[@bmsj]
