Removing the Internal Key

First, press the button located at the bottom of the key fob to release the internal key. Once the internal key is removed, you will see the hole it came from and a small slot beneath it.

Opening the Key Fob

Insert a flathead screwdriver or similar object into the slot and twist. This action will cause the two halves of the key fob to separate. If they don’t come apart fully, insert the screwdriver into the opening and twist down the side until the halves are completely separated.

Accessing the Battery

With the key fob open, set aside the half containing the circuit board. The battery is housed in the other half. You may not be able to remove the battery with your fingers, so use a precision screwdriver or toothpick to safely pry it out.

Removing the Old Battery

To remove the old battery, insert the precision screwdriver on the right side of the battery. Use a prying and rocking motion to pop the battery out. Be careful to avoid damaging the battery compartment.

Inserting the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure that the positive side, which has the battery information and text, is facing down. Start by inserting the battery into the metal component at the bottom and then click the top into place. Ensure the battery sits flush in the compartment.

Reassembling the Key Fob

Once the new battery is securely in place, reassemble the two halves of the key fob by clicking them back together. You’ll know the replacement was successful when the light on the key fob comes on.
