1. Reasons for replacement:
Remote control key is one of the most frequently used tools for cars. You have to use it every time you drive or lock your car. I have a bad habit. I don’t rest assured after locking the car. I have to press it a few more times for fear of forgetting to lock the car. After a long time, the battery of the key slowly runs out. Recently, it has been found that car locking and driving remote control distance can only be used next to the car, and the car key battery needs to be replaced.

Second, replace the tools:
The replacement of car keys is very simple, requiring only two tools, a 1-yuan coin and a word screwdriver with a smaller opening.

III. Replacement process:
Take out your car keys.

First remove the metal key chain with a word screwdriver

This is the unloaded metal key chain.

When the metal key chain is removed, it is the protective cover of the key. Keys are used frequently, and a protective case can better prevent key wear and tear.

Remove the key cover

The car keys were taken out.

We press and hold the white button above to pop the car key.

After popping open, you will find that there is a clasp in the key.

Just turn the car key upside down and pry open the clasp with an one-dollar coin.

When prying, we must pay attention to the coin close to the buckle position, so as to have greater efforts to pry up the buckle. Pry gently and hard, don’t break the buckle. (if the clasp is broken, it is difficult to secure the key battery.)

Hearing a bang, the buckle pried open

After priing open the buckle, slowly break the tail of the key with your hand. (many riders pry with a screwdriver, which is easy to damage the plastic cover. I can break it slowly with my hands.)

In this way, the cover of the car battery is taken apart.

Let’s take a look at the battery device of the car keys.

The car key battery depended on two fixed clips and got stuck deeply. There is a sunken hole at the bottom. Let’s call it a pry hole for the time being.

Take out a screwdriver and place it in the pry hole and press it gently. The button battery popped up. (the pry hole is very small, do not use a large word screwdriver)

This is the circuit board under the car key battery after the button battery pops up.

Let’s take a look at the battery model of the car key is CR2032, the voltage is 3V, it is SONY brand.

Let’s take a look at the two fixed clips with fixed keys.

This is the pry hole position of the car key, the hole is very small, the word screwdriver must not be larger than the pry hole, otherwise it will damage the pry hole.

This is the DL2032 button battery I bought online. One is DL2032, the other is CR2032. Is there any difference between them?
CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery; DL2032 is a lithium battery, 3V. Generally use more CR2032, the two specifications are the same, the maximum capacity is a little different.

After making sure that the button battery specifications are the same, start replacing the battery. Insert one end of the battery into the buckle with the button in your hand

Press down, and the button battery is deeply fixed in the battery position of the car key.

Fix the clasp on the plastic cover plate to the clasp position first to prevent it from breaking.

Then press gently along the cover plate slowly with your hands for a week.

So the whole battery cover is fixed. This is the reverse side of the fixed key.

This is the front of the fixed key.

Try to press the unlock and lock keys, the indicator light is on, indicating that power is on.

Install the protective cover and metal buckle of the car key and complete the installation.

Take the changed keys to the underground parking lot, unlock, lock the car, open the suitcase and other functions work normally.
