Chevrolet Camaro Key Fob Battery Replacement (2010 – 2016)

Introduction

In this guide, I will walk you through the steps to replace the battery in your Chevrolet Camaro key fob. This process is straightforward and can be done at home in less than five minutes. Whether your key fob has three buttons, four buttons, or five buttons, the procedure remains the same.

The only item you will need is a CR2032 coin battery. If you don’t have one, you can easily purchase it online. Let’s get started!

Necessary Equipment

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• CR2032 coin battery
• A quarter (optional)

That’s all you need to successfully replace the battery in your key fob.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Flip Out the Internal Key

First, flip out the internal key from your key fob. This will give you better access to the back panel.

Step 2: Remove the Back Panel

Turn the key fob over so that the back is facing up. You need to push up the back section of the plastic cover. For many users, you can simply push it off using your fingers. Hold the top right on the Chevy symbol and push the back cover away to access the battery compartment.

If the cover is tight and difficult to remove, you can use a quarter. Insert the quarter into the key area and twist it to open the back panel. This method is also very effective.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery

Once you have removed the back panel, you will see the battery. Use your finger to push down on the battery and it will click out of its slot. Dispose of the old battery properly.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery. Ensure that the positive side, which has a plus sign and text, is facing up. Slide the new battery into place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob

After inserting the new battery, put the back section of the plastic cover back on. Squeeze it together until it clicks into place. Fold your key back in.

Congratulations, you have successfully replaced the battery in your Chevrolet Camaro key fob!

Additional Tips

Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind:

• Always have a spare CR2032 battery on hand.
• Be gentle when removing and inserting the battery.
• Consider watching a video tutorial for visual guidance.
