Who needs a Rubik's cube when you've got a Mazda Key Fob? lol 😵‍💫

[@ssb100smama]

Thank you! The instructions were very clear and doing it myself saved me tons of money. Good job!😀

[@briandorff807]

Absolutely asinine that they didnt flip the design so that the battery was under the same panel that the key is under. You shouldn't need to remove 4 pieces to find the battery, and it sure shouldn't have been so complicated that it required me an internet search on how to do it.

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

Your the man. I have always complained about changing keyfob batteries. This fob is the mother of all. 😣😣 After watching your video, I love the fob now. Easy

[@seanc8003]

A big arigato to Mike for solving the mystery for us in so patient and thorough a manner!

[@davidj.schroit9743]

Thank you. I wish this thing was smaller. Hope everyone know the 4 x press unlock and hold while all windows go down trick

[@patrickkerner1471]

Thanks Mike just changed batteries on CX5 key fobs!

[@ratlips4363]

Nice job, you just saved me a ton of bucks. Thanks Mike

You don’t need any tools to open this fob. You use the tab at then end of the emergency key to push the tab on the backplate in. It fits perfectly and pushes it enough to use your finger to pull the backplate off.

Thanks! Have a rental car while mine is in the shop and of course I got the warning that the battery is low. With some tweezers I got it fixed! 😊

[@sweetesthawaiianprincess8086]

Just bought a new key fob battery for my Miata x5 ‘23 and learned none of the local Auto part shops on Maui have the scan tool to program it 😮😢😖😬

[@wendyfeins7088]

Great video. Clear and understandable. Thank you!

[@bobbylawson2712]

Truly appreciate this. Quick and easy fix to a very stressful situation when it’s dead lol. Thanks again.

[@bobbylawson2712]

But terrible design by Mazda/key maker. “Are you the key master?”

thanks for making this

[@cathyc9596]

This was the HARDEST fob battery I’ve ever had to change! I had use a Phillips flat head cuz the “tool” was useless.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

This new key fob seriously sucks. Mazda should just bring back the old key fob. Nice and small, easy to store, and doesn't feel nearly as hollow and cheap as the new fob.

[@elainec.matthews2302]

So true. I just dropped my key fob and the entire thing totally fell apart. I cannot make it go back together. $33,000 for a nice car and then this flimsy key fob!

[@cathyc9596]

Yes! That’s why I’m down to one fob! Same thing happened to me. I dropped it & it fell apart!

[@snowwwy1985]

Helpful video.

[@jjsims780m]

Please add how to fix the keyless entry. If it doesn’t work.

[@Fuzzylunatic]

That's what I'm saying! I replaced the battery now it doesn't work.

[@WreckyallSideways]

Thanks for the help!!

[@CeciliaYaman]

when he says "you see this little tiny" he says to push in - put tool on top and push down and the area on the back side pops out slightly.

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

Truth. Tried it. It worked. Thank you

[@berniecolin7]

Best video on this

[@cheezabelle]

Thank you so very much.

[@joelp3562]

It's not a valet key .. is an emergency key to open the door only. It can't start the car!

[@deltaxsingh]

Blessed, thank you!

[@TWGarg]

One important part missing. How to get the battery out.

[@joelp3562]

you pry it up with the "tool" lol

[@cathyc9596]

Yes! Exactly! Skipped right over it! 🤬

[@keithwilmes4946]

Mazda made this way too hard to change

[@giorgiocooper9023]

I as a design engineer would have to call this an expensive fiddle fuck design …… 😅😅😅✌️✌️✌️🧐🧐🧐

[@dongoldsmith6366]

"pretty advanced" @ 1:33 means "stupid design" good video though - thanks!

[@TWibowo]

Thank you!!! Very helpful!!!

[@cathyc9596]

So did anyone figure out how to get the actual battery out? This “tool” is useless!

[@pesca844]

Thank you

[@norm92.4u]

Not a bad video, but you didn’t actually show popping out the battery and replacing it As well, if you look at your manual, it tells you to wrap your screwdriver with some thin tape I use scotch tape because it’s very thin, but it still acts like an insulator And you know why? Because when prying out the battery you prevent accidentally shorting out and damaging your key fobs circuitry

[@nj-1008]

The "tool" appears to be a screwdriver.

[@mandamank6846]

I took the top off by accident and can’t get it back on!!

[@elbener100]

Yo i did this and put a new battery but my car still says the battery is low?!

[@httrms11]

same problem

[@trestondudek5308]

Did either of you have to reprogram your remote after changing the battery?

[@httrms11]

@@trestondudek5308 not in my case but i had the power saving mode on on the remote itself turned it off and it worked

Dumb key fob design. Friend of mine at work has this and the cover doesn’t even snap back on to be flush. Has a nice gap on the side

[@hemifiedsixtyfour2813]

Junk, everything about my mazda3 is garbage. Cant wait till its gone

[@meredithwiener1670]

Where do you get that tool?

[@Joe-sk8gh]

Just open the damm thing

This review needs edited to get to the information quicker, christ

[@MikesMedia]

Ah, the art of battery replacement: not as exciting as a car chase scene, I admit. 😄 But in the spirit of 'slow and steady wins the race,' I promise every second helps ensure you'll be back on the road, key fob in hand, without a hitch. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

[@cathyc9596]

Yeah but you forgot to show how to get the actual battery out!
