I am looking for information on replacing batteries on key fab. I am getting key fab warning with even my 2nd key fab. I think, i need to replace batteries asap.

 

You can buy them cheap at about any hardware store. We got them at Bed Bath and Beyond. The type of battery is in the manual as is how to replace them.

The dealer can do it too. Before I knew how easy it was mine did mine for 12 dollars...like a watch battery.

 

What are the tools needed. I can get the batteries from Frys. But I couldn't locate any screw on the key fab to open battery compartment.

Thanks

 

On my key fob, there's a screw on the back cover right next to the metal key in the center.

Remove the screw and gently pry apart the two halves of the cover.

Toolless with the Smart Key, I just tried it and it's easy enough

 

Thanks. I do not have any screwes to my remote.

 

Thanks for the help. I have smart entry remote. Just checked youtube video. Going to try frying 2 sides using a coin.

Thanks

 

I didn't need a coin, was able to pry the two halves apart with my bare hands.

 

I used coin and replaced batteries in both the key fabs.

 

My Honda salesman demonstrated prying open the keyless-entry fob with the tip of the key that's stored in the fob.

 

LOL wouldn't you know it, the car indicated low battery this morning! Car built on 12/14 so almost 3 years.

I have been noticing the door responding a bit slower to open so I guess that was the early warning.

It's a panasonic battery made in Indonesia btw.

 

The Beatles were called "The Fab Four".
The thing that starts my Honda...is called a Fob.

 

As described elsewhere, we did this and the fob exploded into 100 pieces (okay, maybe 200). Took 2 hours to reconstruct.

$13.00 every two or three years...the dealer can do it.
