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.

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 :)

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.

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 😊

Hi Ben, did it work before you changed the key battery? There's no separate trick to code in the buttons after changing the key battery, they automatically work. Does the key start the car?

It worked fine prior to the battery dying. I changed the battery & it no longer works, for some reason the other key has stopped working. I does fire the car up but doesn't open the doors.

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.

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!

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 :)

@@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 😊

I was getting the low battery symbol on the dashboard, so I changed the battery in both fobs and now they won’t lock/unlock or start the car unless I touch the key to the button. It was working perfectly fine before I did this. Any ideas?

Hi Chantelle, this is strange. If you open the key and put the old battery back in hat happens then? Are the batteries the correct way round? Do the buttons unlock and lock the car?
