Key Battery Nissan Key fob HOW TO

[@lafemmegentille]

Almost 6 years later, and you're still saving lives, thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped :)

[@julz012]

Yep. I second that. Really helped us a lot just now

[@laurencejosephson]

I thought the small switch on my key would open it for the battery. I didn't know there was an actual key inside. Then I had no clue how to change the battery. What an excellent little video.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Laurence, really pleased all the info helped! Thanks for watching :)

[@GeorgeMamalakis]

Very helpful (6 years later) indeed! I was always postponing on doing it myself, fearing that I'd break something. After watching the video, I knew nothing was going to break. To add on this already super-helpful video, it's even easier/safer if you have some plastic opening picks or other tools used to open mobile-phones/laptops available. In my case, they came handy and the job was done with no scratches.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi George, thanks for the info, yes the plastic tools are better, agreed

[@liss7338]

I opened it with a knife, no problem 😊

[@BernhardHofmann]

Who downvotes a video like this? Perfectly clear, well presented and explained, including risks of damage. Thank you SO much AGAIN Mr Car Key Man! :D

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Bernhard, well it's the internet and every channel gets down votes. What matters are that it helps some people, and your comment is really appreciated :)

[@NickTaylor100]

Thanks for the careful description, it really helped. I can’t believe that this is so fiddly to do, needs a better design! By the way as well as a CR2025 that you used here, you can also use a CR2032.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Nick, yes sometime a CR2032 is fitted, not sure why, but they both work ok :)

[@peterbottomley3337]

Brilliant. Thank you. Not only have you saved me time for not having to go to the Nissan dealership, but also the arm and a leg they would have charged me fo the battery.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

You're welcome Peter, easy when you know how ;)

[@stephaniejane0]

Thank you 😊 I was a bit worried to begin with but following alongside you doing it made it easy and now my car is no longer saying low battery every time I get in.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hope it helped Stephanie :)

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

Thanks mate. I thought that small switch thing opened it, but it turns out to be an actual key - which nobody at the dealership bothered to tell me. Luckily I had a battery to hand.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Yes, it would be handy to be told, but I think they just want your money…

[@umavenkatraman9718]

Thank you for solving the mystery in such clear and simple terms. Opened the key minutes after watching the video

[@TheCarKeyMan]

You're very welcome. Thanks for leaving some feedback and really pleased it helped :)

[@adc2167]

Thank you very much, honestly, I followed your video and successfully opened my wife's key without causing damage. Thank you again.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Good job, I bet she's impressed:)

[@eshark11]

This is the perfect "how-to" video. Many could learn from this. Fwiw, mine had a CR2032 in it. I had to look up the difference to a CR2025. Apparently it's thickness (3.2mm vs 2.5mm) and a higher capacity. Same diameter. The thicker one seems to fit ok in my key.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi David, thanks for the feedback. Yes since I mae it, I've found both 2025 and 2032 fitted, not sure why. Glad it helped you :)

[@alan2327]

Quality video, very helpful. Saved fortune by not going to Nissan garage to change batteries for 2 keys. Bought 2 batteries and now working perfectly

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Great news Alan, thanks for the feedback :)

[@robwatson826]

Fantastic video, saved me a trip to the garage. My key was so well put together I couldn't see the seams of where it was pushed together

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Great stuff Rob, glad it helped :)

[@mirjunior9864]

Thank you for such a short but very informative video! If I may suggest: your screwdriver is way too big and it could scratch the plastic. Then: it's better to twist it open with the screwdriver and later prime it , actually drag through the edge with a creditcard to open it. The plastic the card is made of is soft and will not make any scratch. Then it's better not to touch this kind of battery (lithium) with your bare hand as this may reduce its lifespan. Having said this I liked your video very much 😊

[@emmacatlow9634]

Excellent - clear and at just the right pace! Battery successfully changed 👌

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Great stuff Emma, thanks for your feedback :)

[@philcool1968]

Thanks man. If I'd taken this into a dealer they would've charged me $100! Btw: I didn't have a screw driver handy so I just used the end of a tea spoon. Worked a treat.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Phil, glad it saved you some money, $100 is a bit naughty....thanks for the tip

[@joniqccomputers]

Thank you so much you have rescued me. This was the best assistance I ever received in a very short time. My car is working super good. Thank you so much. Nicholas - Nairobi Kenya

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the feedback, I’m pleased it helped you out. Hope life in Kenya is good :)

[@catherinebrown4843]

I'm so happy I found this video today! Worked perfectly and saved me a visit to the garage. Thanks very much!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Well done Catherine and thanks for the feedback 😊

[@trock111jomy]

Thank you for explanining and showing very clearly. It really did took my worry out. I cracked my new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone to inser SIM card, thinking I have to open from the back, not realising you get a pin to do that and u do it from top. I didn't wanna do that with my car key so I found your video and it was helpful. Like one of the comment, I used a butter knife instead of a screwdriver to open FOB and to remove the battery, I had to use a scredriver. Also DL/CR2025 I bought had a 'child safety'picture which I inserted into the key FOB without removing it and it didnt work at first (which gave me a slight panick attack!). Then I removed that 'child safety' sticker and a tiny gel form paste from the 'negative' side of the battery (you have all the writings on the 'positive'side of the battery). So once done that, it all worked fine :) Thanks once again my Car Key Man :)

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, glad it helped you. Easy when yu know how ;)

[@maxp7302]

Amazing!! Thank you so much. Your video has just saved me £70 replacing two car keys myself

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Max, really pleased it made a difference to you, nice saving :)

[@maxp7302]

@@TheCarKeyMan the dealership charged me £34.95 last time. I thought they had some magic gadget to change them 😆

[@iJunzz]

Thanks man! it helps! the twist method does really help to open it much easily. if you do not have a screw driver, try using butter knife, as it is slim enough to be inserted into the crack.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for that :)

[@OnlyFlanz]

I used the blade of a pair of safety scissors and it worked well!

[@safs2666]

Hey there as everyone else saying this video clip is amazing!!! I def would not have been able to figure out how to open the key and change the battery! Simple and easy, job done, thanks for sharing 🎉

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks Safina, really appreciate your kind words :)

[@TheGrumpyExplorer]

They’ve made this so unnecessarily difficult. I wish cars would just go back to having a physical key!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Agree. At least half of the problems are related to keyless remotes

[@sof5858]

Cheers for the video. I agree that they made this unnecessary difficult. I thought I was breaking the cover until I found this video 👍🏻

[@johnstock3343]

This is video was so helpful! Helpful tip: If you use a mini flat-head screwdriver instead of a regular one, this will be much easier!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for the feedback John :)

[@amymc2]

Thanks so much - have saved me a few quid. Luckily I had a battery in the house already and I managed to change it in less than a minute!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Nice one, glad it helped you and thanks for watching :)

[@vincoletto2]

Thank you sir, you're a star. Just did the job in 60 seconds.

[@MarinaMrls]

Thank you, followed instructions and changed the battery. I then realised that the spare key has a small metal rectangle in the key ring that is the tool for this.

[@jackkumar7533]

Thanks it saved me time plus knew which batteries to be used. Great help from Australia.

Hi Jack, glad it helped, love Australia and hope you're keeping safe :)

[@elliedee4897]

Fabulous!! If I can follow the instructions and get the fob working, then anyone can! Too easy; thanks heaps!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

That’s great, well done :)

[@gwynsea8162]

Thanks for this! Mine had a 2032 in but I replaced it with a 2025. Also I didn't use a screwdriver, just used my fingernails along the sides at the back. Popped open easily

[@chrabart2852]

Thanks for the information! Very helpful. Very dodgy design from Nissan lol ... I just crack the case with the screw driver & then use a guitar pick or something plastic to finish the open. This prevents any damage to the key. My key was a 2032 battery. Great video! Thanks from Aus... maaate

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Chris, love Oz, the queen paid me to visit in another life! I like the idea of the plastic tools, just got a few and although they are a bit bendy, they don't mark up the key, so top tip, thanks :)

So glad i found this video. My battery is dead on my kry and low on my wifes. Heres to prsying it wont need reprogramming as I really dont want to go to the dealer for it.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, these are normally fine, did it go ok?

[@MikeCarpenter3]

[@peterpritzl3354]

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I am in the US, and amazon is where I shop for everything, because free shipping to Hawaii. I saw a video for some other brand fob, where he just bought the housing, and transferred the electronics etc. So I wonder if that can be done with the Nissan Murano fob, if the housing is just the shell, or if it comes with the buttons, and the electronics can be transferred. So I don't have to pay an arm & leg at Nissan to reprogram a brand new fob. $ 189 OMG. Just like when years ago my alternator went out everybody wanted to sell me a new one for $ 200, all I needed was an insulation disk for $2 that had burned out.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Peter, thanks for watching. I'm not sure to be honest, we don't have that model in the UK. Hope life Hawaii is good :)

[@BurpTheKitten]

Thanks - that saved some anxiety and some money!

[@Human_Decoy]

Better instructions than the car manual, thanks

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks :)

[@danielchidaushe1559]

Thanks for the enlightening video. But the design of the key is very poor - they should have made it more user-friendly when replacing the battery. The key can get damaged easily while trying to open it. A screw or two would be a lot easier and convenient ...

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Agree completely Daniel, bad design is responsible for so many car key problems

[@joeyfranklin3874]

Thanks mate! Very well explained 👍 now I can open the car quicker in the rain!

Hi pal, followed the instructions on your video to replace the battery on my Nissan xtrail T32 2017 model push start , now when I try and open the door with the key fob it will not open, have to use the key then hold the fob next to the push start button to start it .

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hello, did it work ok before? If so try and put the old battery back in to see if it works

[@burslem67]

Hi yes worked before, I did put the old battery back in but that will not work now either ,changed the battery in my other key at the same time as the other one and that works fine ?

[@five-am]

Thank you so much for the detailed guide. I almost thought this key doesn't have a battery. QQ: Of course It definitely will depend how often you use the key but how long does 1 batter last generally?

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, I think 12-18 months normally

In my experience, using a smaller size flathead worked great and no dammage to the plastic at all. Edit: Mine had 2 small notches for the flathead though.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@jase675]

Fails to mention some identical looking keys do take different batteries. Open yours up before you go buy the batteries. Demo video has CR2025 but mine needed CR2032.

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, agree, I didn't know this at the time but thanks for pointing it out

[@ajh5552]

I have just ordered two CR2025 batteries as recommend by you in your video only to find that the batteries in my remote are CR2032 which are 0.7 mm fatter and fit better than the CR2025's that you recommend. Maybe Nissan have changed the batteries in these remotes since your video. 🤔

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, Yes Since I made that I've found that they can be fitted with either battery. Not sure why have each type but from what I've seen, both sizes work ok

[@stu4181]

Thanks for the video, I found a plectrum worked as well to open the key. If people Have them around…

[@jaybourne2705]

thanks for this. didnt realise i had to rip it open

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi Jay, it opens ok as long as you're careful.

[@sicks6six]

Alternatively, if you have some phone tools use the thin plastic pry edge in the side of the key fob, that will not mark the key fob, or I didn't anyways, a kitchen chopping knife will also do the job, fit it in the middle of the side. when closing it it's very important to make sure the pointed end is the first part to snap back together or you might snap off the locating lugs trying to force it together, tried and tested method, as-you-know,

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, thanks for this info. This is a really easy key not to get right! Like you say, you just need to take it slowly and not slip inside the key with anything that might damage the inside. Appreciate the feedback for everyone

[@RandomSomebody2929]

My wouldn’t work again with a new cr2025. I saw a tutorial they said change it to cr2032, I have to try it

[@yangambiwa163]

Quick question as you seem like a guy in the know. Iv just bought a used Nissan juke nismo rs I have 2 keys though only 1 opens and locks car at the moment is this standard or should both do the same? Also may it just be a dead battery in the key that doesnt open it?

[@TheCarKeyMan]

HI, well the buttons are coded at the same time as the transponder chip, so if it starts the car, then the buttons should work. There isn't a separate trick to get it to work. Have you tried a battery?

[@LTR2024]

Thanks a lot for putting together this super useful video, really appreciate it. Although I don't have CR2032 at the moment but I have a CR2025 instead which fits nicely and snugly in the slot so apart from having lower mA (capacity), would this work anyways but the only downside would be a shorter lifespan? Thanks again!

[@TheCarKeyMan]

Hi, well Nisan keys seem to have both 2025 and 2032 fitted to them, so we just replace with what came out. I'm not sure why some have the 2025 in them. I'm sure your key will work fine :)

[@LTR2024]

@@TheCarKeyMan Thanks so much for your quick response, you're amazing! So seems like it should work fine with the CR2025 then but shorter lifespan, that's something I could live with I guess given that the previous CR2032 has lasted for years. Thanks again and have a great rest of your weekend 😊
