Key with remote in the head

  1. This type has the buttons built into the key head. The cell is inside that head, between two clipped halves.
  2. Find the seam around the head. Twist a coin or small flat screwdriver in the notch at the blade end or side until the halves part.
  3. The coin cell is usually under or on the back of a small board. Keep the rubber button pad in place while you swap the cell.
  4. Close the head, check there is no gap, and try the buttons.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

Flip key

  1. Open the flip blade. Never force the hinge sideways, since the spring and pin are the weak part of a flip key.
  2. Look along the edge for a notch. A coin turned in that notch usually separates the remote half from the blade half.
  3. Swap the coin cell, keeping the same face up as the one you removed, and do not bend the metal contact tab.
  4. Close it up, check the blade still flips cleanly, and test the buttons at the car.

A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.

If a child might have swallowed a coin cell, treat it as an emergency and get to a hospital right away.
