Short, sweet, to the point. I like this guy.

[SpeedyCotton]

Thank you sir. Clear and concise and as a bonus, no stupid music or intro.

[porkchopbeats]

So glad bro didn’t hit me with a 5 minute intro telling me a bunch of random bs

[focalhawk]

Right to the point without an intro and safety goggles… right on!

[marybethmoore]

Thank you for the short and sweet video! These are the only kind I'll watch!

I appreciate the short video. Took me virtually no time to change my primary and spare fob batteries since I already had the batteries on hand. Thank you!

[tvohar]

How do you take the PCB board out of the fob?

[lindaswope]

nice video - but uh oh I'm still in the dark. Mine doesn't look like that. It's from a 2010 ford. I don't see any way of opening it. I will see if there are other videos.
