What the heck?!? Just a quick and to-the-point tutorial. No pontificating for 10 minutes about the greatness of the color blue? Thank you.

Tutorials should be just like this. No corny jokes, no advertisements. Came for a tutorial on how to replace my battery. Found a tutorial on how to replace my battery.

Don't you just love it when the absolute truth shows up in short form! Short and to the point. Great video.

WARNING!!!
Be careful when you open this. In my case, the green circuit board stayed in the other half of the shell unlike what is seen in this video. Then when I started looking to find the battery, the circuit board fell out and landed on my bench. Luckily, it only fell a foot or so and no harm was done. So just be aware that this can happen. You should also discharge any static electricity on your body before doing this. As stated in the owner's manual, "When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter."

This is a great video! Thanks for posting it!


Yesterday, I was getting some sort of message to the effect that the vehicle could not detect my key fob. Never got a low battery warning which the user manual says should happen. I measured the open cell voltage on the old battery. It was 2.9 volts. These batteries are rated at 3 volts and the new battery measures 3.3 volts which is normal for a fresh new battery. So hopefully this is all that was wrong. Time will tell. Would like to hear what other messages folks got when their battery went low.

Thank you! Was just going to change my remotes battery and the cover wasn’t coming off easily so I watched your vid just to make sure I was remembering correctly. Now reassured and not worried about breaking the expensive remotes!

[marklouiston]

Great to the point, why aren't all how to videos like this straight to the point.

Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen in my life. Thanks

[Dorky]

Thanks for the video! My 2018 Terrain had the low battery warning come up so this worked very well! Note: I had to twist and push my key to pop off the plastic backing but it worked without damaging the fob.

Hell yes @KeyFobRob. This stand was charging me $25 for battery replacement. I'll have you know a guy passing by said

"Bro, KeyFobRob on YouTube. I bet yours is on there"

Now in hindsight, I hope that guy isn't just there standing by killing this other guy's business haha.

Thank you for not adding intros and back stories

[MoreThanOrder]

Best visual detail on how to “pop” open. 👏🏼👏🏼

[ChipDizard]

Thank you I watched this while at Advanced Auto Parts and they won’t open a damn key fob and it worked perfectly. Now my wife can use her fob instead of mine!

[demar]

Thank you so much. I would never have known how to change the battery. In fact, I didn't know they had batteries until my car dash said to replace remote battery. Tks so much for this video. I have a 2019 GMC Terrian and the same key fob

[jamesmullett]

There is an absolute practical need / application.

Thanks. My key FOB was dying. Thankfully I had a spare Energizer 2032 button battery
