I’ve created over 500 original videos, photos, and guides on how to change car fob batteries! It’s not the most exciting topic I know, but it’s been a labor of love to put together these guides.
There are hundreds of different types of key fobs in existence, and we are working our way through all the major car brands to give you in-depth tutorials for all of them.
UPDATE: As of April 2022, we have completed over 50% of car key fobs in the last three decades (90’s-2022). I hope to finish up the rest this year.
Most key batteries are “CR” coin or key batteries – such as the CR 2450 key fob battery or the CR 2032 that goes in an Apple AirTag.
Below is our current list of brands for which we have crated battery change guides. We also have a guide to changing the battery in the Tile Mate and Tile Pro devices.
