Took me ten minutes to get the new battery out of it's blister pack but only 30 seconds to replace it thanks to this tutorial. Thanks, Danny.

One time I had to open one of those blister packs without scissors, and it took me 20 minutes 😂

Now we need a tutorial on removing the battery out of it's blister pack without injury or damaging the battery

@andreashaw9715 4 ай бұрын

The battery packet says child resistant. It took me ages to work out there was a strong plastic blister over the damn thing. Much harder getting the battery out than opening the key fob.

Great video. I still refer to this every year whenever I needed to change the battery for my key fob. But may I suggest one thing that will improve the whole process? Instead of screw driver, use a plastic card, like your old credit card or some unwanted membership card. Screw driver which is metal will cause significant and noticeable scratches or even serious damage to the key fob. I have been using my old credit card to open it, done it twice so far and not a scratch or dent.

Instead of twisting, you can just pry it open instead, leaves no damage, even with a flat-head screwdriver. Otherwise good instructions on how to get it open. Thanks!

Thanks to this very good video, I didn't have to go to the Mazda dealer as I had previously. They replaced the battery less than 2 years ago and it failed rather shortly. I put in a Sony battery in my primary key and the backup fob since it had the original battery since the car was purchased new in '13.

@chicmumma 4 жыл бұрын

exact same thing happened to me! I'm so glad to find this tutorial as I was going to have to drive an hour and a half to get it fixed otherwise. I have to wonder what battery they put in it less than 2 years ago to have it die so quickly though. I didn't watch them replace it, so who knows if they used a new one or what.

Thanks for this. The manual says basically how to do it, although it recommends you take it to the dealer. I placed a small piece of tape over my jewelers screw driver. Worked great. No scuffs. Surprisingly easy, but I guess you can mess up the electronic if you somehow do it wrong.

The Battery is a CR2025 i only had a CR2032 to hand, works perfect, only difference between 2 batteries is the CR2032 is slightly thicker and therefore should last longer also, so WIN WIN.

I confirm, I only have CR2032 and it fit. Lifetime is longer too.

@jc3drums916 4 жыл бұрын

CR2032 required some effort to work in mine. I believe it is due to the angle of the positive contacts in my fob. The battery would not stay in, and it would push the plastic battery cap out when I tried to secure it. I had to force it down by partially closing the fob, then using the key to hold the cap down while closing the fob the rest of the way (not sure why this made it easier to close, but it did). Looking at the seam between the two halves of the fob and comparing it to the backup fob, there is still a very slight bulge in the center of the fob.

@miguelborromeo6010 4 жыл бұрын

I would not recommend 2032 because it will push the contacts lower so the next time you get the proper battery it might be loose. It will work in emergency situations though.
