So much simpler than other explanations I've seen. Worked great!

Using the physical key to open it is actually a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Love. Short, sweet and to the point. Thank you!😊

I figured out why the "key" kept coming out by itself. What I didn't know was I lost the spring that I just saw on your reel! Thank you!

[texassky]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you for the demonstration.

You saved my daughter $16 from Batteries store. I watched your video & it helped tremendously.

[christiholloway]

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. I haven’t had to change the battery but very helpful to know.

Most smart keyfob used the valet key to open the shell. The only difference is how to put the valet key, for example on my old honda accord exl there was a specific hole that you put the valet key and twist it. but im glad to know how to pop the keyfob shell for subaru. Thank you.

Brilliant…. Thank you!

It took a few tries, but with an extra push the key went into the perpendicular slot. Then with a slight tilt down to the right the back of the fob popped right off.l

Works!! I did have to watch another video showing how to carefully remove the old battery

Two words: Silicon tray.
Use that when doing the battery swap.
They have a lip that goes all the way around to prevent losing small pieces or springs.

Yay! I changed the battery! Thanks, Alex.

least you only need to change this every 3 or so years, well with daily use for me with good Duracell 2032 batteries. Ford have similar setup, using the key blade to pop the case.

Using the key shank caused the spring to come out. A tiny flathead screwdriver works MUCH BETTER.

Just what i needed, i need to change my battery! Do you need to do anything else after changing the battery to start the car?

[SM-ncpt]

Thanks! Could you also do a video short on starting car after battery change. Any reset needed?

[lmckay]

Thank you Alex for educating the Subaru owners. I have learned a lot from your videos. I have a question for you though. What can I use to clean my apps glass display in my Subaru? Can use the same product I use to clean my iPad screen. Is special for it. Thank you!

[yvonneschermerhorn]

That's great on how to open the fob! But...how then do you remove the battery itself?

[DPT]

How do you avoid setting off the alarm when you do this? or in general, the key fob on my forester is so sensitive I have to take my keys out of my pocket when I work, otherwise I set off the alarm every few min.

The hard part is getting the battery out without breaking any of the little plastic tabs.
