Tools and Materials
Before you start, make sure you have the following items:

- Small flathead screwdriver
If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon. A small flathead screwdriver is also recommended, but you can use a similar tool if necessary.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Flip Over the Key Fob
Start by flipping the key fob over. You’ll be removing the back piece of plastic. This is where the battery is housed. Make sure you have your small flathead screwdriver or an equivalent tool ready.
Step 2: Remove the Back Piece
Locate the indentation near the key ring. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this indentation and gently pry off the back piece of plastic. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the key fob.
Step 3: Access the Battery
Once the back piece is removed, you’ll see the battery. There is an opening on the side of the battery compartment. You’ll need something small to fit into this opening and pry the battery out. A flathead screwdriver works well, but you could also use a paper clip or another small tool.
Step 4: Remove the Old Battery
Carefully insert your tool into the opening and pry the old battery out. Take your time to avoid damaging the battery compartment. Once the old battery is out, set it aside for proper disposal.
Step 5: Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and orient it so that the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Place the battery into the compartment and press it down until it clicks into place.
Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob
With the new battery in place, reattach the back piece of plastic. Line it up with the key fob and press it down until it snaps back into position. Ensure that it is securely attached.
