Remote key fob battery change
 

Hi all,

I need to change the battery in the key fob as sometimes I nede to hold it on the windscreen to open the car! So, before I change the battery, I was just wondering if it's a simple swap or if I need to have it re-programmed or something?

Don't wanna be caught short this close to Christmas!

Thanks in advance

Just a simple swap. I think you get ten minutes before it forgets anything.

Make sure you have the right batteries on hand and you'll do it easily.

:thumbs_up:

Many thanks!

Next question - any idea what battery it is?

CR2016 in my C70 fob (checked by the simple method of opening the casing :D the battery doesn't fall out), which uses the same battery according to PFV.

Thanks - just checked and mine is the same... However it has 2 batteries (one on top of the other) - is this normal?

Changed my batteries in my FOB the other day for my S40 and I can operate the alarm from house!!. Really easy to change,got them off eBay at a bargin price and keep a couple in the glove box as spares.

So there was 2 in yours to?

Sorry to sound thick, but assumed there'd only be 1 battery in!

Yes theres two batterys (CR2016), make sure you put them in the correct way.It does tell you in one half on the plastic covers.

Same in mine (2-button remote for '98 S40)

2 x CR2016 button cells. Cheap as chips on ebay.

depending on the fob and its functions there are some which do have two batteries installed
