Honda Key FOB Battery Change (Smart Key Remote) - For Accord, Civic, CRV, Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline 

I love it when "how to" videos get right to the point without a lot of extraneous blather. Thanks so much for a perfect video, well done!

Bobs burgers teaching me how change my key battery

It’s people like this who take the time to post useful videos that allow us DIY types to fix things. I just followed your advice and battery change was successful. Thank you my friend.

Thank you from the Walgreens parking lot

This is so helpful- one caution when removing the battery, use downward pressure so you don't lift the buttons out of place on the other side.

Thank you so much making this video. You probably saved 3-4 hours of my life. Also, appreciate Honda for making it simple. It just shows how much thought they have put in designing things as small as key fob.

One thing to be aware of. When removing or replacing the battery take care to NOT break or bend the 4 battery retaining tabs. Otherwise there is a good chance the FOB won't work correctly. Don't do this with a cold FOB (most FOBS give the error indication when they are cold (winter)). I would do this with the FOB at room temperature or a bit higher so the plastic table are not brittle. Less chance of breaking them.

Can we just appreciate Honda for doing this? I remember for years I’d have to dig through shit to find that tiny screw driver. Thank you Honda.

No drama in explaining how it's done. Even though I've replaced the battery on my key fob almost 2 years ago, that span of time can make one forget the steps on how to do it and videos like these serve as an instant tutorial just to recall the initial steps and everything would come back. Thanks for this.

Again, straight to the point, no bells and whistles, just how to do it and do it right. No muss, no fuss! Thanks!

I'm impressed. It took 2 years and 4 months to finally get a low battery alert on both the fobs for my 19 Accord. This video is very much appreciated 😁

The warning for my key fob came on this weekend and I was worried I’d have to bring it in to the dealer. Not only did I get the batteries in two days flat, but it was super easy to swap out following your instructions. Thank you so much for posting this! :D

Thank you for getting straight to the point and saving me $50 at the dealership

Just changed my 2017 CR-V battery this morn’ with a little help from this vid. Thanks man! 👍🏻

I took my keyfob to an auto parts store yesterday for help with changing the battery, and even they didn't know how to open it up. I can't believe it's that simple! Thanks for saving me the hassle of going back to the dealer and spending $30.

Found this video, bought the batteries at Walgreens for $9 total, and had both key fob batteries replaced all in less than 20 mins. This was a great video!! Thanks!

Thank you SO MUCH for a quick and "to the point" video. I used your instructions and changed the battery in under a minute. AWESOME!

Nice job! Straightforward, quick and easy! Extra points for having the battery pop-up.

You saved me more than $20 or $30… I did this last year with no knowledge and didn’t look it up on RU-vid and Honda charged me $150 for both of these. I wish I had been smarter.. but I will be smarter this time! Sad how dealerships take such advantage of people with no car knowledge.. so thank you sir 🎩

Honda's owner's manual doesn't have anything in it about changing the key fob's battery, but I knew RU-vid would have help. Thank you for your short, concise and easy to follow video!

this video is a life saver! i was so confused on where the battery even was, or if it was rechargeable or not when i got the notification from my car that the fob was dying. and you explained everything super well!! thanks!

A good, straight to the point tutorial video is so useful. Thank you, man.

THANK YOU! I've been having trouble with multiple Honda key fobs and my thumbs are RAW from trying to pry open the fob multiple times. Your trick using the key itself to twist and open it is a life saver.

Thank you for the incredibly easy instructions. I went to an auto part store and asked how to change my Honda Civic battery, and they told me they don't know. I should go to a Honda dealership. I watched your video and got it changed in a minute. Great video!

Very helpful! Got the battery at Target for less than $5 and did it in a minute. Thank you!!!

Excellent job! Clear and simple. No more going to the battery stores to get this done.

My Honda dealer's Service Dept. recommended I search RU-vid for proper instructions (and to come into the Parts Dept. only if I need assistance). I'm thankful I landed on such a concise tutorial. Kudos to you for delivery! I'm saving this one!

Thank you for showing us this, getting straight to the point. My husband did it with no problem.

That was easy! Thank you for making this clear, straightforward and money saving video.

Fantastic video. Straight to the point, no drawn-out, extraneous explanation and cliff-hanging speech; just exactly as it should be. Thank you!

It’s 2023 and this post is still saving people money! Wow! Thank you for straight to the point directions. I literally was locked out of my car and had to find a quick fix and you helped me with that! Thank youuuuu!

Thanks so much for showing the process to find the emergency key & installing the battery! Very helpful!

Thank you so much. This was very simple to follow. I also appreciate that you gave the link for me to be able to purchase replacements to have them handy. This was very timely and spot on!

This was the first video I clicked in my search, I had the battery change alert for a few days now, slowly beginning to panic, but this video was incredibly helpful, Thank You. Informative and straight to the point, Thanks Once Again!

Thanks so much for making this video. A mechanic just told me to take my key fob to the dealer to have the battery changed. When I said I could probably find an instructional video on RU-vid, he said: “Oh, don’t do that, you could break it. Better to take it to the dealer to have the battery changed.” I’m sure glad I didn’t listen to him because I followed your instructions step-by-step and my key fob is working perfectly. BTW, I’m a mechanically-inept 82 year old female. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Just follow these excellent instructions.

Omg this video helped me so much!!! I went to Auto Zone, bought the battery for only $5.99! I searched this video because I was struggling to get the battery off lol but I did it.. yay thank goodness for this video! 👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔋

Thank you for this video! I followed your instructions and successfully changed my key fob battery just now. Got lucky that I have a bunch of those batteries leftover from a pack that I bought for changing the battery in my garage door opener remote.

Hey thanks! Replaced my moms battery this weekend and saved her money. Best video ever. Straight to the point. Excellent.

Thanks. This was my second time to replace the battery and your video is straight forward. I did not know that I can use the key to open it and the way you removed the battery made so much easier to change in just a minute.

I clicked your link as payment. I love the short and to the point video.

Thanks for the video! I've viewed it twice, once for mine a few months ago and today to do my husband! I’m sure down the road I’ll need to refer back to it! Great money saving tip! 👍🏼❤️🤑

WHO THUMBS DOWN THIS VIDEO??? THE VIDEO WAS GREAT, SHORT, TO THE POINT, AND HE TELLS YOU IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE TIME AFTER YOUR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON

Fast and straight to the point, my keyfob would lag a second whenever I would press it and now that I changed the battery it reacts as soon as I press it, thanks 👍

Perfect no frills instruction video, quick and SOOO much easier than our older Honda fobs - I agree that Honda made a better remote this time! Thanks for sharing, just what we needed!

Thank You. My key fob battery just died, so this was helpful.

This video was first to pop up when I did a google search. Thank you so much! You’ve saved me a lot of time and money!!!

THANK YOU I watched this for my mom who even looked for a video on the Honda Website and it didn’t show HOW. You’re great, and she looked at me in shock when I did it and she couldn’t 😁

Thank you so much for sharing this. I did it and now feel so accomplished!

Thank you for a great, informative and very helpful video. Saved us at least 20 bucks and a long wait in line at the Honda parts department.

Thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation. I put off changing the battery for almost 2 years simply because I thought it was going to be hard. Today, it finally went completely dead. I should've known it was a 5-second process.

Thank you so much! No info in manual AT ALL! I spent hours trying to figure this out. You saved the day!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Nothing in my owners guide on how to replace, thought I was going to need to visit the dealer-ugh.. Thank you for the link, ordered batteries. Thank again from Mamma B..

Thanks man! I owe ya a beer! LOL

Thank you. After searching the user manual, I found nothing on the subject. I came to your video and, you’re right, it took a minute since I had the battery.

Thanks! Legitimately took me a min while your video was playing. Just shows me how great your description is!

Thank you Worked perfectly, I even had a battery in the drawer.

This video was very helpful! Thank you! Followed step by step and I still managed to mess up because the plastic piece fell apart along with all the buttons. Had to put them back in place. Thanks :)

I appreciate your help and getting straight to the steps. Too many other video tutorials ramble on and on. This was perfect!

Thank you so much. I did this lickety split. I spent more time trying to get the battery out of its packaging than any part of this process. Bravo!

I owe you 30 dollars sir! Thank you for this 🙏🏼

Legend! So easy and I even happened to have a spare battery on hand 😊

OMG thank you. Was about to make a 45 minute trip to Honda. I keep these batteries on hand at home for other things. You just saved me a trip and money 🤗

Thank you so much for this. The warning showed up on my dashboard today, glad it was so simple to change. I already had that size battery, so it didn't cost me anything. Awesome!!

Thank you so much! I’ve been sitting here for like an hour trying to figure out how to get it open. Now I feel stupid because it’s so easy! 😂

Great and clear instructions, straight forward to the point so everybody - even me - can understand it! Saved my day! Thanks!!!

This has been so useful. Thank you. Come back to this video every now and then.

thank you SO MUCH for this video!! got the battery replaced in literally a minute or less, and it only cost me like $1.25 for the batteries! 🙌

Great video! I was looking for a knife or something thin to get in between the two sides of the fob when I decided to watch this. Whoda thunk you’d use your key to pop it open? Thanks so much!!

This damn video took over 3x longer to watch than it took to change my battery! ;p

Just got the warning on my dash and you saved me a trip to the dealer. Thanks so much that was so easy!

Thank you so much! This video gave exactly the information I needed; turns out both my keyfob batteries had gone at the same time, despite one having lived in my kitchen drawer 99% of the time.

Thank you so much, appreciate this!

So easy! Thank you so much. Now my car won't scream at me with those 6 beeps every time I start her up haha

found this video in 30 seconds, watched for 3 minutes, then realized I had this same battery for something else already that was extra, then used for my key fob. completely done in 5 minutes, how I love RU-vid thanks !

The key battery light came on last night and I stared at the fob trying to figure out how to access the battery. Thanks for the video!

The only thing I had go wrong was not lining it up perfectly which caused the alarm to go off. I took it apart again, realigned, and then it was done. Just take caution to not do this procedure in the middle of the night when people are sleeping😁

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately when I pulled the battery the entire remote fell apart. Gotta but out the tweezers.

Thanks so much. My wife's went out and I drive a much older car. This was a thousand times better and faster than trying to go through the owners manual.

THANKS! Great, straight forward, no long bs. 10/10. Would watch again.

Be careful when you separate the two side of the keys. The entire fob fell apart on me along with all of the little components - took me a while to get it all back together - pain in the butt. Btw, if you were wondering, replacing a Honda fob takes 3-4 hours and it's about $400 bucks at the dealership - the car and key must be programmed together! Big pain. I was going to replace my fob, but after hearing the $400+ price tag and 4 hours, decided to double down on my efforts to put the fob back together - it worked and saved me $400 and having to deal with snarly Honda service people. I waiting for the replacement battery. Honda - big rip off.

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life

Thank you so much for the video, I couldn't figure out how to open the fob and was afraid to break it! With this got it done in one minute flat! Thank you!!!!

Life saver I'm just in between school and home on the school run panicking that the car is about to cut out THANK YOU!

come on don't waste time get to the point ,damn

Easy! Thank you. It took less than 5minutes!!! The last time I changed my battery at an auto parts store and it took 20mins. Clearly the dude didn’t know what to do.

This video shows exactly how to put in the new battery. Makes it easy. Very appreciated! Thank you.

Thanks for this video! My car just told me the key pad battery is low. Thought I was going to have to take it to the dealership but this just saved me that trip and $$$! 👍🏼

My husband insisted on having the dealership change my key fob battery when we happened to be there for something else. It was actually more like $5, not $20-30, but sure enough, my other key fob is needing a new battery. Thanks for the video. The flathead screwdriver makes it so much easier!

Thanks U-Tube - perfect battery replacement instructions for the Honda Accord key fob. . You saved me time, money, and possibly causing damage to the key fob. Searched the Honda Accord car -manual-could not find the key fob battery replacement instructions.

I’ve had my 2018 Accord for just over two years. I’ve never had a key fob lose battery power so quickly, and this is a first for me. Thank you for sharing this information!

He explained this so well! Now I can change batteries in under a minute!! Thanks!

Thanks for this useful video, today I changed my wireless key battery after I watched your video after 4 years since you uploaded the video 😁 Thank you again 🌹

Using the key to pry it apart is a helpful step you mention. I've watched other videos, and they talk about prying it apart with their hands

Thanks Bob for showing how to change battery,you are my guardian angel.

Truly appreciate your video. Even at my age I was able to follow your instructions. Too easy.

Glad I came here first before spending hours trying to figure out how to open that thing! Thanks!

Wow THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video was short straight to the point aaaaand you even included the Amazon link to the batteries!!! 🙌🏼👏🏼 GRACIAS!!

Clearly and concisely explained. It was as quick and easy as you say. Thanks!

Short. Simple and clear!!! Best video! Thank you.
