As a Toyota trained technician I can definitely say… No need for the screw driver. Completely unnecessary. Toyota designed the key fob in a way to use the actual key itself to gain access for battery replacement. A more user friendly design.
Can confirm screwdriver not necessary the key is a perfect fit and I obvs didn't have a screwdriver handy when my battery up and died on my trip. Life saver
Thank you! The dealer charged me $15.00 the last time I needed this done. Sometimes you just need to see someone else do something to learn that it can be done by an amateur and have the confidence to do it yourself. I decided every time I work on one of my vehicles I'm going to make a video to help others save money as well. Thanks again!
Was convinced I'd have to get the battery replaced at the dealership -- and you know they would have charged a ridiculous amount of money for it. Instead, $5 for a couple of batteries + about 60 seconds per key fob, and I've got two brand new keys ready to go. THANK YOU!
Wow! My car fob died while driving and my car thought I lost the key started making beeps no key detected. Thankfully I had this video and 3 of these batteries in my center console for my watch. Opened it up and replaced it easily!
Thank you for a simple straightforward explanation and video! I was able to do the task right along with you. (I’m 66, and I keep up with technology, but having someone explain this made things so much easier.
Thanks FB helpful video. One thing I would add is to make sure you keep the buttons-side down throughout this process, otherwise you might spill out the buttons and the protective rubber pc board cover.
Worked perfectly on mine! One note, the batteries I had sitting around for the last four years were dead. But I had some Energizer Lithium ones, and they have stayed good for the whole time, so I was lucky to have one.
I just got a rav4 and to this helped me figure out jow to pull out the internal key! I knew it was in there i just wasnt sure how to take out and i wanted to research before i messed around and broke it. Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing the video, I used the end of the key to pry the case open and to pry out the old battery. No tools needed. Thanks again for the video, great job👍👍
My 2017 RAV 4 three button fob uses CR2016 battery. According to my owners manual, the CR 2032 is only for fobs with the smart start feature. Otherwise this was very helpful.
Yeah you don't need the screw driver. That key you slide out of the fob does the job of opening the case and popping out the battery. But your video definitely taught me about that key that pops out.
The battery was a little more difficult to remove on my Rav4 2019 fob. It does not sit near the end so not possible to remove with the screwdriver as shown. Rather you need a pointed tool.
Thanks for the video. Just changed out both key fobs on a 2016 rav4 and still neither are working? I actually took the batteries back and got a fresh pair, both name brands and the same thing. I’m at a loss. The circuitry look alright, no water damage, one was still working a fee days ago so I checked the charge and it was out so here I am. New ones say ok charge. Any thoughts?
Great video. But do not touch the electronic side at all!!! Your body can potentially develop a static charge which can discharge to the electronics with negative consequences. So "Don't try not to touch" , don't touch.
I have a 2017 Toyota Rav4 XLE and my key doesn't look like this? The fob is triangular in shape and the key doesn't appear to come out of the black housing?
Excellent! If you ever remake this video, you could mention that nothing needs to be reset or reprogrammed after replacing the battery. (That was my greatest worry!)
