Key Battery Mazda Remote Key HOW TO change

[@arborinfelix]

This was a great tutorial. Not only did this tutorial show us how to replace the battery but also made of aware of the things that might go wrong. 10/10

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@ericshort9926]

I had looked at two other videos before finding yours and could not split the body of the remote. The detailed instructions and the good lighting of your video made it really easy and quick. Excellent production. Thank you

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Eric:) Really pleased it helped

[@Ageratos01]

This was great! I watched another video where the guy looked like he was ripping apart the fob and battery side. You however was able to demonstrate the correct procedure and explained where to push and pry open safely. Thanks for this video.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Alex, it's easy to break this key, it needs a careful approach. Thanks for the feedback and for watching :)

[@shannonrogers8588]

Spot on! Saved me a trip (time and money) to the dealer. Was able to do this myself, at home in no time flat. Thank you for great, simple, concise instructions.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Shannon :)

[@ItsMe_BillyD]

This video is still saving lives all these years later. Bought a car second hand and the fobs didn't work. Turns out the battery in both sets of keys were installed upside down. Thanks. 👍

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Yes, amazing really, gad it helped you :)

[@LobanRahman]

Excellent video! Was able to fix it perfectly while avoiding the pitfalls that might break it. I love how you spent time showing how the inside looks and locks so that it's easy to understand and appreciate the opening and closing technique. Other videos show a lot of force, but yours showed how to finesse it it perfectly. Thank you!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Loban, I hope you're well and keeping safe. Thank you for your kind words :)

[@billcaradonna608]

Thanks for the extra details about the unlock/lock "bits" falling out of the side of the lock casing. I would stress to not let the circuit board fall out of that side of the case in order to keep the "bits" in place. SO ALWAYS keep that side down when you are dismantling it to allow gravity to work for you. In this demo, the lock/unlock "bits" stayed together with the whitish/clear plastic spacer. In my case, that section completely fell apart, requiring much patience and a tweezer to reassemble it IN THE PROPER ORDER. Spacer bar needs to go in first, among other things. Took me a long time to figure all this out and get everything to sit correctly. Still you provided more details than some other videos.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Bill, yes good advice

[@juergonx229]

The owners manual doesn`t lose any word about how critical it is to damage the tap, while pressing it too hard. Without this Clip, I wasn`t able to open the key. A very useful manual. Many thanks to the Car Key Man for his real good work. Please take care of your Hands and Fingers....

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hello Juergon, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I'm hoping for a sponsor from a hand care company ;)

[@trail3913]

Very good video, be careful to put the control buttons back in the right direction before closing.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, yes great advice ;)

[@malvincalacum9375]

The best step by step video I have seen. The part where you show how to put back the battery cover part and the prevention of further complications is the most impressive. Brilliant work!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for the comments Malvin, it's much appreciated :)

[@steveputman1]

Absolutely brilliant piece of instructions which warns of all the pitfalls to avoid. As 'how-to' videos go, this is top notch.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thank you Steve, we really appreciate you leaving this feedback

[@fjc145881]

Instructions were close to perfect. I never would have figured it out without you. Thanks, much.

[@stephencowell1624]

This clip solved my problem on how to get to the batteries on my Mazda 3 key fob. It is clear, straightforward, and easy to know exactly what to do. Obviously, the best one I saw: I changed two fobs in about 5 minutes .... after hours finding this clip.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Stephen, thanks for the feedback. Lots of people break the plastic tab that holds the key together so we were trying to stop that happening....glad it helped :)

[@angelaquinn9075]

Has just worked perfectly for my 2014 Mazda. Very well done step by step video showing you all the crucial bits you need to know. Thanks so much!!!!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Angela :)

[@waynemartin9039]

Thanks for the step by step guide. Mazda wanted £10 for a new battery but with your video and Amazon (to get a precision tool kit and 2batteries) it cost £3!!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

That's great, thanks for the feedback

[@qhazi9622]

Precise, informative and good use of non-technical language! Thanks, Steve.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

It's good to keep things simple...thanks for the feedback and really appreciate you watching :)

[@neshbro]

One of those videos that just keeps on giving doesn't it? Made it easy and prevented me from breaking off the Little "Don't break this off" part! Thanks car key man!

[@neshbro]

Sorry, and credit where credits due, also got me the right battery first try!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Andrew. We see so many of these accidentally broken, we just had to make it. Thanks for watching :)

[@andysteuart2158]

Brilliant tutorial, shows it all! Shame the chap at the garage where i bought my MX-5 from didn't watch this vid and take note NOT to glue my key fob together... I'll be buying a new key then 🤦 Thanks again!

Oh dear, that's frustrating....

Hi Cody, thankyou, that is very kind. We made this through frustration, that a simple problem seemed so difficult to overcome. Your feedback is appreciated

Hi I have to watch a few videos to know how to change the battery, but you are really good thanks a lot 🙏.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Gariel, really appreciate the feedback :)

[@lukey1548]

Thanks for the video! Watched a few others before seeing this one - by far this is the easiest method of opening the key. Got the battery replaced in under a minute, thanks!

[@agneswarholm]

omg THANK YOU!!!! I replaced my battery a few days ago but didn’t get the new one to work, turns out I had put the battery upside down 😅 Took this video for me to realise what was wrong, I’ve been opening the key probably 10 times trying to figure out what I did wrong

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Agnes, glad you got sorted in the end :)

That's great news

[@Missmx5mx5]

Thanks for the close up and showing what the tab inside the key fob looks like. Really helped me get the fob apart safely

Excellent video all the information in a nice clear format and no jargon The only thing I will say is i snapped off the tab before seeing this video but instead of tape i put some bluetack down the hole works a treat

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks John, like the Bluetack idea!

[@nottjohn9418]

I've snapped my tab off. I'm going to try making a new clip or failing that, wedge a thin cable tie inside and if all else fails, get a new key as a last resort. Thanks for the video, I only bought the car a couple of days ago. 👍

It's a real problem, so many people break it trying to change the key battery. Have you seen our video on how to change the case? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXKVlISkg5mJfbc

[@katericciardi9632]

Yeah this one gets it! great close ups which are necessary here and a muchhh easier way to get the last piece open than the last video. I️ tried their way for like half an hour this took just a min. Thank god for KZbin or we’d never get these things open! Well done key man. I️ Also like the British accent ha it makes me trust you. For some reason. 🤔 Is that why nature documentaries are always narrated with a British accent? Cuz we believe that Brit’s have gained wisdom through their long period of history kinda running the western world? Or because the brits just make all the best nature documentaries? I️ suppose I️ just Love British things all around. Has anyone read this far? I’ve been up all night and fixing this fob is the icing on the cake 👌😎 now I️ know... I’m thankful for British accents and how much I️ trust them! Hey Now I️ know what to do when I’m stressed out...have people give me advice in British accents! Or find a British guy to hang out with. That could work :) I️ need a British boyfriend ...for my health! I️ live in Cincinnati in case there’s anyone who wants to hook a sista up. Forrreal tho this is just as good as tinder imo. Who knew I’d leave such a long comment! This is a record and a first. Probably because I️ feel like the ppl who read this will be very purpose driven and probs not read/mind this rant for a brief distraction from the rocket science that is opening this fob! Waited months to change it but I’m doing it for my friend secretly so hell have it tomorrow! And won’t be afraid I’ll break it the whole time. Luckily you made a good vid and told us how to fix it jic! Yay for humans I️ love you all. Have a great day and appreciate the little good things :) that’s the key to a happy life ...sit down and appreciate shiz no matter how big or small. Gratitude has a chemical effect on the brain that makes your serotonin and dopamine go up! And it’s fun. I’m happy for my cats pink nose and that sparkles exist. In closing, thx for reading my first ever rando rant, and we’re all just humans floating around, but you can find gratitude everywhere even if it’s something random af like a key fob or u have a stressful thought. Cuz British accents and dopamine always work! BEST VIDEO FOR THIS FOB! I️ WATCHED 5 OTHERS AND THIS WAS THE MOST USEFUL

[@117thWing]

That was very useful. I figured out how to separate the two parts but couldn't figure out how to open up the battery housing and didn't want to risk poking around and forcing it open (my manual covered a key fob). BUT HOLD ON JUST A SECOND! IS THAT A MITSUBISHI EMBLEM? INSIDE MY MAZDA KEY?! COOL! 😜 Oh, I've also noticed people asking about the forth button up there. Now, I'm assuming that like in my car, when pressing the lock button it will also arm the alarm. So, according to the manual (though I haven't tested that myself yet), after you lock your car, you have 20 seconds to disable your alarm.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi. I saw both your videos to change the battery and reprogram it. I hope the reprogramming will work like you say. But I'm trying to change the battery in my key. Mine is a Mazda 6. 2006 2.3L Sedan. I located the small tab inside to separate the two key components. But on yours to open it, you have three rectagulated slots. One on each side and one in the middle that you put your flat screwdriver in to delicately twisted it open. But mine doesn't have that tab to open it. I don't wanna break it. So how and where do I go to separate it to get to the battery. Please let me know. Thanks!
