Honda key battery change 

9 years later still relevant. Thanks @ultimate handyman

@jsmithnevinsky Are you stupid or something? These batteries have been swallowed by children, who have subsequently died due to the injuries sustained and you come on here thinking you are some kind of hard man.

Great video explaining clearly. My both keys batteries have been died. Ordered a couple online and it should not be a problem replacing them after your video. Not sure why some sad people would dislike it?!!

Thank you even 7 years later your video is still helpful 😊

Thank you so much for uploading this video. I followed your "easy to follow" instructions and replaced both key batteries without problem. I am most grateful and recommend the vid. Thumbs up!!

Cr1620 also work accidentally bought it but actually works

Oops, I wish I’d watched this twenty minutes ago! I tried really hard with a small screwdriver to get into the key fob. Pressed so hard, it slipped and I stabbed myself in the stomach 😢 dirty great blue bruise and some blood - duh Anyway, then I couldn’t understand what was going on inside, so I came to my trusty RU-vid teacher. Absolutely brilliant video and so helpful - now what can I do about the stab wound?!!! 😂😂😂 Bless you for taking the time ❤

Tnx for this...your video is helpful even 2024 ..😊

Good stuff so helpful and clear thanks. How long normally would these batteries last? And is it a case of a straight swap over and away we go? I only ask as in my old Ford the central locking needed to be reprogrammed etc so I didnt bother and left it open lol .

Will i have to reprogram the key after changing the battery??

Ive had to do this at least twice with a four year old Toyota Hilux. Very inconvenient on both occasions when it failed. Best to change every two years regardless.

Thanks for a great video. I was wondering how I'd do this without breaking the case. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What size battery is it cause my type r one needs replacing 👍🏻

The video also helped in 2024 👍🙋‍♀️

Hi my screw has come out my key, and was just wandering what type of screw it is and where I'm able to purchase one. It's exactly the same as the one on the video. Thanks

My Mom destroyed her fob; it is identical to the one you show here. Can you say or do you know if I'll have to go through a dealership to get her a new one, just like this? Thanks

Thanks very much, very useful.

Now my car doesn't start

Thanks for sharing. RU-vid is very handy. Paid £15 Timpsons cover, didnt assume it was that easy. Know for next time. Thanks🙂

Many thanks for this well explained and clear video, which has saved me a lot of time and hassle wondering how to do it. Literally done it a minute or so after watching this, thanks again.

Changed the battery and its still not working, do I need to reprogramme it to the car?

Thank you, good sir! Worked great and only took less than a minute from start to finish. 🙏🙂

Nice video again as need to take a look at my Rover key/fob. Does handling the battery drain it as people suggest it does on watch videos?.

Great thanx, probably saved me $50 to DIY.

Thanks.... BTW, the battery number is conveniently noted on the little remote on the outside. Great vid, thanks.

I changed the battery but the key still doesn't work.

Thank you

Thank you for sharing this with very grateful. 🙏😃

Here is the REAL advice about removing the little Honda remote key screw This is the ABSOLUTE ADVISE do this and you will remove it nicely the first time, and keep the same screw forever, unless you really want to spend your money and buy a new one from the dealer for 2$, or worse reprogram a new key for $125 or more (Unless of course the head of the screw has been damaged already in which case you'll use a rotary tool to remove the head of this screw. The grinder bit or drill bit should be the same size as the screw body. Do not force it, do it gently until the head is gone, let the weight of the rotary tool do the job) If the head of the screw is OK and not stripped as it should be, then do this: Get a Q Tip cotton swab and put some W40 oil on it , then touch the head of the screw with it and, if you want, on the side near the screw where the black plastic touches the metal of the key and tilt the key and let the oil run towards the body of the screw. Not too much W40 oil . Wait 15 minutes and then get a Phillips precision screwdriver SIZE 00, secure the key down and insert the tip of the screw driver on the head of the screw as close to 90 angle as you can. Put a fair amount of pressure down on the screwdriver , not too much but also not wimpy, and then slowly but firmly start turning the screwdriver anti clock wise . You will notice the head moving a bit hard at the very beginning and then normal. Once the screw is out and you have separated the 2 plastic covers a little bit, DON'T continue to separate them all the way, but rather pull the the one plastic cover w/ out the buttons toward the front of the key, and that will completely separate them. If you continue to separate them it will probably break the tab in the back, inside. ALL THAT OF HEATING THE KEY WITH A LIGHTER, HAIR DRYER, FLAME, SOLDERING PEN ETC TO LOOSEN THE LOCTITE , EXPAND THE METAL ETC, IS NOT NECESSARY., IF YOU DO AS ABOVE. I have done 9 of these Honda keys in the last 2 years and, and I did not mess up any of them REMEMBER : Precision screwdriver no. 00 NOT 0 or 000 Good luck

Cheers mate! 👍Didn't have clue!🙈

Thank you very much for this video much appreciated 👊
