Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Locate the Opening
First, look at the bottom of your key fob. You’ll see an opening in the key ring area. This is where you’ll insert your flathead screwdriver.
2. Insert the Screwdriver
Place the flathead screwdriver into the opening and twist gently. The device will begin to crack open. You can also use a coin for this step if you prefer.
3. Pull Apart the Key Fob
After twisting, you should be able to pull the key fob apart with your fingers. If it feels stuck, use the flathead screwdriver to work your way around the edges and pry it open.
4. Remove the Old Battery
Once the key fob is open, you’ll see the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery out from the top corner. Be careful to get under the battery and lift it up gently.
5. Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2025 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Push it into place and ensure it’s sitting flat.
6. Reassemble the Key Fob
Click the two halves of the key fob back together. Make sure they are securely snapped together.
