Thanks so much for a very clear and straightforward video. Before this, I would have been wary of messing about with my car keys, but the method couldn't have been easier. I've changed the batteries in both my car keys and everything is now tickety-boo!

Word of caution (from own experience), when you fit in the coin battery, take care not to bend or "press down" the two metal contact pins located on the side (where the triangular looking plastic slot is). You are suppose to use the coin battery to "press against" the contact pins. Done incorrectly, you risk bending the contact pins "downwards" which may end up not contacting the battery, usual symptoms of this mishap is your will find that the immobiliser does not work, the keyless entry does not work, but the key still works if you place the key fob in the reader slot and start the car using the "emergency start" procedure.

Thanks for this video; was quoted over £50 for the main dealer because they "required the code" before they could change the battery. Done in less than a minute and works perfectly.

Hi Imran, yes I think the problem is that some of the service staff who book in jobs mix up programming the immobiliser ( for which you need a code) and changing the key battery. Glad it worked out ok

I noticed that instructions in the manual also state that after the battery change the key needs to go into the dashboard slot to re-initialise it. I'll know today when I replace my battery 🤪 Sorry, I got this mixed up (senior moment) and the re-initialisation is only needed after car battery disconnection. Great, clear video which I checked as I changed the battery 👍
