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!
David Mack really helpful!
33% of the video was him blabbering
@@andrew263 exctally....
This was not that 😂
I agree!
Bobs burgers teaching me how change my key battery
Accurate! haha
🤣🤣🤣 Dead!
Legit! 🤣☠
Shout out bobs burgers tho !
He'll chive your car anytime.
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.
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.
Did this!! Freaked out thinking I messed the key up!
Lol yes, I learned this the hard way but got it all re-situated and good to go 😂
Wish i had read this before doing it. It fell apart and the tiny pieces scattered all over. I too thought i had messed up the fob and will have to buy a new one.
I freaked out when it happened to me too! Felt like I was playing a game of operation putting it back together 😅
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!
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.
I’d appreciate it more if instead of charging $30 to poor people who don’t know what they’re doing/don’t use the internet, they simply said “hey you can do this yourself quickly and easily”
LOL ME TOO 🤣🤣🤣
@@oVividz I sort of agree with you, but then I think "hey, they have to make money too."
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.
My push to start Toyota phob is the same way.
My Honda dealer's Service Dept. recommended I search CZcams for proper instructions. I'm thankful I landed on such a concise one!
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 😁
Thank you from the Walgreens parking lot
HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!
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!
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.

I have a 2018 Honda Fit with the same type of key fob. Question? Once I remove the old battery, and replace it with a new one, do I need to reprogram it? Thanks in advance. Great video! \ ( ^ _ ^ ) /
Thank you for getting straight to the point and saving me $50 at the dealership
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!
Honda's owner's manual doesn't have anything in it about changing the key fob's battery, but I knew CZcams would have help. Thank you for your short, concise and easy to follow video!
Your welcome!
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
Even if the battery is dead you can still use the key to run the car
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!
Forgot the part where the fob breaks into 10 pieces that are very difficult to reassemble. Thanks though.
@@toddeldred30 sometimes it happens and happened with me too but I fixed it finally and his video helped me a lot coz I even didn't know how to open n change
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!
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
Just changed my 2017 CR-V battery this morn’ with a little help from this vid.
Thanks man! 👍🏻
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.
My Honda dealer's Service Dept. recommended I search CZcams 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!
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 CZcams, 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.
Very helpful! Got the battery at Target for less than $5 and did it in a minute. Thank you!!!
My target only sells 2 packs for $7
Nice job! Straightforward, quick and easy! Extra points for having the battery pop-up.
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. 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.
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!
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!
Fantastic video. Straight to the point, no drawn-out, extraneous explanation and cliff-hanging speech; just exactly as it should be. Thank you!
Excellent job! Clear and simple. No more going to the battery stores to get this done.
A good, straight to the point tutorial video is so useful. Thank you, man.
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.
You saved me more than $20 or $30… I did this last year with no knowledge and didn’t look it up on CZcams 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 🎩
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! 👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔋
That was easy! Thank you for making this clear, straightforward and money saving video.
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 👍
Thanks Bob for showing how to change battery,you are my guardian angel.
Thank you for showing us this, getting straight to the point. My husband did it with no problem.
I clicked your link as payment. I love the short and to the point video.
Thanks! Very easy but I won't be able to do it myself without watching your video.
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 so much for showing the process to find the emergency key & installing the battery! Very helpful!
Thank You. My key fob battery just died, so this was helpful.
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!
Truly appreciate your video. Even at my age I was able to follow your instructions. Too easy.
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! 👍🏼❤️🤑
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.
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 🤗
Glad I was able to help!
i stopped by the store to get a battery but i could not open the fob, i watched your video, and went back to the store and got a battery done ,, because of your great job video, thank you
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! 😂
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 SO MUCH for making this 72 year old change this battery and so easy!!! I couldn't open it b4 I saw your video.
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.
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!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I did it and now feel so accomplished!
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!
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 man! I owe ya a beer! LOL
Did you sent him a beer or is he still waiting???
John Dawd I would have, BUT, my remote has never been the same! Changed battery and now it works when it wants too! He owes me a beer and a remote! 🤣🤣
@@rck211 Buy a beer and consider it was sent by him and say cheers in his honor.👍👍👍
Everyone in this comment section that this worked for owes this man multiple beers and a 50 dollar amazon gift card. Most people would call the dealership and tell them what's going on and they could be honest but still they're ripping you off either way by changing it for you for 50 bucks or they could really get a gullible person and say the whole fob needs to replaced... by using a simple scan tool to reprogram a new fob... still charging you like 200 bucks for a new one
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..
Perfect, straight to the point, easy. Love it
It's people like you who make this world such a great place lol :)...Thanks!
This damn video took over 3x longer to watch than it took to change my battery! ;p
How long would it have taken you without the video? 👎
You are an unappreciative Fuck. Need your little ass beat down to learn to show respect. Little gamer boy 👦 pussy
I owe you 30 dollars sir! Thank you for this 🙏🏼
My stupid little push buttons fell out and had to put them back, took longer than 1 min. Thank God your video showed where buttons go…
I search for a tutorial and I find George. This made my day.. Thanks
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!!
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 CZcams thanks !
I logged in just to say thanks. Quick and to the point. THIS is why I invented youtube, the internet, AND electricity. Well, music videos first, but how-to's second.
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 :)
Glad it worked out!
Same here 🙄
Me too. Super annoying but ended up fixing ok.
Great and clear instructions, straight forward to the point so everybody - even me - can understand it! Saved my day! Thanks!!!
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!
Glad I can help!
I just got the low battery notice on my dashboard 2 days ago on my 2018 Accord!
@@moshter11 Noooo! Lol. It’s so weird. I have never had a remote battery die on any of my cars. It was soooo easy to replace though. Six bucks for a pack of two batteries.
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!
Legend! So easy and I even happened to have a spare battery on hand 😊
You should run for president.
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately when I pulled the battery the entire remote fell apart. Gotta but out the tweezers.
This happened to me. I used tweezers to get the old battery out and the whole thing fell apart. Now I need a video showing how to put it back together, including the lock and unlock buttons, the trunk button. Etc.
I was today years old when I figure this out. Thank you for the amazing guide!
What would I do without this video? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you Worked perfectly, I even had a battery in the drawer.
Me too. Glad Honda uses a common battery.
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.
Yeah, all the little face plates with the lock-unlock-trunk-hold images fell out and were a pain in the butt to put back together. I had the horrors I was going to fail and have to shell out $$$$ for a new fob, but with patience and care I was able to put the "puzzle" back together. I detailed the procedure in my comments elsewhere on this page. The current date is Oct 24, 2022
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.
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 😁
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😁
Thank you so much, appreciate this!
THANKS! Great, straight forward, no long bs. 10/10. Would watch again.
I appreciate your help and getting straight to the steps. Too many other video tutorials ramble on and on. This was perfect!
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
I'm 48 years old and living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud than I am. I'm glad made great decisions about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional
I trade as a side hustle while keeping my job. I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating. I see people making a living out of trading and I want to do the same. Please l need help can someone teach me how to trade?
the market is profiting if you are using a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
HER SUCCESS STORY IS EVERYWHERE 💯
come on don't waste time get to the point ,damn
No one forcing you to watch buddy
Another guy fr the dealership😂
Appreciate the video! I JUST started getting that alarm a couple hours ago and was like “ oh no 😢” LIFESAVER lol
Hey thanks! Replaced my moms battery this weekend and saved her money. Best video ever. Straight to the point. Excellent.
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.
You’re a total mensch man, my husband has put off the battery change for like a month. Now of only I could fix the tire pressure sensor at home as well.
This has been so useful. Thank you. Come back to this video every now and then.
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!
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! 🙌
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 🌹
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.
Short. Simple and clear!!! Best video! Thank you.
Got mines for 5.00 for a 2 pack in Amazon
Thank you for showing me how to put it in
