Thank you !!! Instead of going to the dealership waiting forever and paying them I had a battery laying around and did this myself !!

[@patrickfeltner7512]

I don’t know squat about vehicles or how to do stuff like this. You made it so simple. Got my battery changed in seconds. Thanks so much!

[@fixandplay826]

Very happy the video helped you

[@melisaferencz5107]

You saved our lives while we were traveling in Europe!! Our rental car was not responding to the fab on our day 3 of 20 day trip. I tried calling the rental car company and was unable to get through, I saw this video and watched it . When I saw the battery, I was so happy that I had those batteries in my bag that I always take on vacation! Once again, thank you for the advice

[@fixandplay826]

Amazing! You had the batteries with you already? That’s being prepared

[@Phantasm8Spirit]

Thank you, sir! The two sections are joined tightly and I'm always worried about forcing and breaking something, or needing some special tool. You made it easy and "comfortable."

[@fixandplay826]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad the video helped you out and gave you some confidence 👍🏼

[@KathyBounds-l7z]

Thank you!! All of the other videos had different key fobs than mine!!

[@jimrielly8794]

Very good explanation and demonstration. You made so easy. Did mine in a snap. Figured the dealer would make this a money event and something a mere mortal could not do themselves. Thank You

[@fixandplay826]

Yeah, the dealer would definitely try to make this a money event. I'm glad the video helped you out

[@gavincole5793]

Thanks for a great tutorial. It is short and to the point. I wondered which way to pry it open without breaking the damn thing.

[@fixandplay826]

I’m glad the video helped you

[@janineahuja47]

[@JoyO_CA]

Thanks so much for this video! Cheaper to buy the battery and replace than paying at the dealership 😀

[@discoverhclsecuredevops9623]

Thank you - just what I needed. So great.

[@conniebrown873]

Thank you!!! Even my inexperience in doing anything like this before, I was able to easily follow your video and change the battery! Can't imagine what this would have cost to take it to the dealer!

[@fixandplay826]

I’m so glad this video helped you. Yeah, the dealer would have been a rip off!! 😂

[@mikeangelis1307]

Can you use a 2016 battery

[@mikeangelis1307]

Thanks!

[@fixandplay826]

This is very appreciated

[@kathianderson7046]

When I understood that I needed to lift the back cover off by simply lifting and prying instead of twisting then it made sense. I was able to easily replace the battery. It takes the same battery as my desk top computer so I had some on hand. Replacing the battery was only half the job however. It did not work at all until I pressed a reset button on a panel low down near the driver door. Pressing that brought it to life and it operated normally. I am still puzzled by the lower button on my 4-button fob that says "hold". I tried it several times and it doesn't appear to do anything.

[@kathianderson7046]

Your fob is slightly different and I cannot get my case open. I have 2022 Hyundai Blue Tucson Hybrid-No plug in. My fob is silver on one side, black on the other, with 4 vertical buttons. The buttons are black as the underside is black. The button release is on the black back in the top center. I can get the key out easily enough, but reinserting it partially at various depths does nothing to separate the case. How do I get this open to change the battery?

[@fixandplay826]

You may need a screwdriver to pop it open

[@kimberleywatson7330]

You are a motherchucking genius!

[@Vash.Baldeus]

Wish I knew this, I marred up my other remote trying to pop it for a battery replacement.

[@TickTickBOOM94]

Do you know where else we can buy batteries besides online ?

[@janray2839]

Walmart

[@fixandplay826]

Dollar store or hardware store

[@matthewplummer8724]

Great, broke the plastic on the fob trying to open it with the key. Thanks alot, now I need to get a whole new fob. Super helpful.

[@kenmurray1097]

I know how you feel, that kind of stuff used to happen to me all the time, until I slowed down (like everyone was telling me). I watched the video and followed it step by step as everyone suggested and you know, it worked. It was easy to do. I think from now on I"m going to flush my pride somewhat and don't make out like I know it all.

[@kenmurray1097]

not saying that you do.

[@Mr.Universe]

Getting the battery out of the package was harder than opening the FOB lol who designs this stuff?

[@fixandplay826]

😂 Yeah! Box cutters or scissors would help 👍🏼

[@ASimon-ut2xe]

Doesn't work for i35x

[@durant636]

it still doesn’t read the key after i replaced the battery what should I do?

[@fixandplay826]

First, check to see that you installed the battery correctly. Hopefully not upside down

[@xaviernj]

Not helpful didn't open
