Key Fobs are different depending on your vehicle & thank you youtube for showing me how to change my battery.

I've had my car 3 years now, and I have not changed the battery yet. I was just wondering awhile back, how to even do that. I couldn't see a way to take it apart to change the battery. If I think of it later, I'll look at the manual today.

It's usually a slot you can put the edge of a coin or a screwdriver into and twist. It clips back together again afterwards. (Or there's a little screw, come to think of it.) It's not much harder than a TV remote control.

As for me I looked it up on YouTube & they showed me the coin trick as well & changing the battery for the first time in 11 years still amazes me.

It's used a couple of seconds a day. It's amazing they don't leak, though.

I own old cars. Not classic, just still running. One's fob stopped working, so we use the physical key. The other, from 2009, I think I might have changed the battery once.

As for me I have a 2011 Nissan Xterra & I’m hitting the buttons on the fob sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn’t so after 11 years it was battery time & I wish my other batteries would last that long. My Nissan still has physical keys as well & as I look at new vehicles I don’t like this keyless shit.

[goaded]

Yeah, the 2009 one IS the new one :)

My motorbike is from the last century!

Keyless sucks. Many cars have been stolen by the use of a simple electronic device.

Haven't needed to. Funnily enough, my previous two cars both developed issues with the central locking system (not related to the fob), so in the end, I just took the fuses out and never locked them. It's nice living somewhere with zero crime.

I had to change the ones in my wife's key fobs so I did mine too. That was last January.

Only had this one a year but I get years out of them before they need changing

I voted E 😆

I've known they need new batteries for a while. I just haven't done it yet and thought that was a funny option.

I have had mine for 5 years now and have not changed the key fob battery lol

[Flower7]

That would be…never!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I still can’t believe how long my battery lasted & what was good is that I actually had the battery I needed on hand & the next time I go to the store I’ll buy an other battery & change the other key fob out as well.

Don’t have one
