As someone else stated, if you slide the lever to the left, it creates a small space that can be used with a small slotted screwdriver, to pry the two halves of the keyfob case apart. Also, avoid actually touching the surface of either battery. Thanks for the video.

Ended up stabbing my finger using these instructions. It works better if you put the screwdriver in the hole and push the cover open from the inside...no blood loss!

This video is more helpful than the volvo manual. Many thanks

Thanks for the video. That was very helpful. And also the link for the battery!
I had better luck popping the cover by putting the screwdriver blade in the hole that opens up when sliding the catch for the aluminum key to the side. That minimizes the chance of scratching the cover.

After about an hour of playing with the fob, saw this and was saved quickly....thanks

Hello Rob! Thanks so much for this video. I'd forgotten my XC70 fob in my swim trunks so it went through a soak and spin rinse, and then a drying cycle during which it exited the trunks and came completely apart. I was able to resurrect all parts except for the minute spring that holds the emergency key latch in place—but I'd closed the case before realizing I was missing something. That's where your video came in handy. I used the watch strap tool I use to remove spring bars to open it, replaced the latch (minus the spring) and it works fine as long as I don't giggle it too much. Perhaps somewhere I can find such a small spring, but it isn't entirely necessary. And the fob works just as well as it ever did. So appreciate your cheerful assistance! FH

Protip - if youre gonna change the batteries, do it as fast as possible, otherwise the key might get desynched. The same case applies if the batteries are "full" dead for a while

[kimaminu]

Doe that but warning still showing. Any ideas? Thanks for the vid!

The little tab was missing that goes between the batteries. There was a 2350 thicker battery instead of two 2430s. Can I install two 2430s without the spacer? Thx

Make sure you slide the silver latch over to get the screwdriver under it so you don’t tear up the plastic ❤

Help… I know I placed batteries correctly but it won’t open doors. I’ve ended the car put key in it won’t start?

Hi there
What does that ‘i’ mean on that car keys and how to turn off alarm. If you could tell me plz?

[hidemichiXT]

Anyone know why does it require two batteries? Is it to higer voltage from 3 to 6V? I just replaced batteries in booth keys and on booth keys the covering distance remained very low. I need to stand no more than 3 meters from the car to lock it remotely and I need to nearly touch the doors or boot to get it opened using keyless :-/ Also although the batteries are fresh my Volvo says 'replace key battery' from time to time

[kevinbell]

Since ive replaced the battery, keyless entry doesnt work anymore, also cant startvehicle unless key is in slot.

I replace the battery but it still won’t unlock my car but the ignitions turns on and can drive away
