CR2032 Coin Battery 🪙 you need: amzn.to/3GkOJnN How to replace the battery in this key fob for the Toyota RAV4 2019, 2020, 2021 models. See the whole guide at: fobbattery.com...
5-Stars - I reviewed the video to ensure I purchased the 2032 battery for the key fob. Replaced both of my key fobs which took less than 1 minute. Excellent point about using a small screwdriver to remove the battery. You have to be careful or you can brake off the tabs that hold the battery in place and that would really suck! The most important note is to be very careful when opening the case because it's plastic. And we all know that plastic can easily break. And finally, if your car notifies you that your key fob battery is getting low, replace it immediately. You don't want to be someplace and it go completely dead. Or you have been left up the creek without a paddle by the bank.
Thank you. I watched other videos trying to figure out how to change the battery and they made it so complicated. Your video was straightforward, easy to follow and I successfully changed the battery in both of my key fobs. Five stars to you. You made this old lady happy. 😀
Just found this tutorial, and just changed the battery in my fob. I've literally never opened a key fob before, and following the steps in your video, the entire process took me less than 5 minutes. Thank you for posting this!
I'm a Toyota tech and DON'T recommend using the emergency key to open the key fob If you damage it,it may damage what you need for an emergency Use a small screwdriver to open case.
How often should I replace the battery? Every two years or more? I liked the way you explain it. So easy. I tried to figure it out by myself with no knowledge on how to do it and I was a nervous rack. I had the worst-case scenario in my mind while doing it. So, I stopped and went to CZcams. Best choice I ever made in this case. Thank you for your instruction.
I'm sure you have figured this out by now, this is more for the people that read this later. You should get a dash warning that your key fob battery is low.
Very clear, useful video. I watched the same tutorial for 2013-2019 RAV4s before realizing that the key fob is different on a 2020. Found this video and it worked perfectly. Thank you
Excellent tutorial. Perfect for me. I didn’t have any idea how to get rid off this issue. After watching that it turned out in to a very simple one for me. Thank you very much. It was very helpful. Good job.
Thank you very much for posting this. This morning I got a message from my RAV4 saying that the key fob battery needed to be replaced. After watching your video, I replaced the battery in both of our key fobs.
One other point I don't think was mentioned, when you open the clam shell, be careful not to lose the spring that actuates the physical key release. That button on the outside you push to remove the key. We just bought a used Toyota and when we receive the smart key fob, it had been taped up because the spring was missing on that latch. I was a little miffed the dealer hadn't replaced it as there was only one key fob, but a call about this and one other issue a day after we purchased the vehicle and the dealer ordered us a brand new key fob at no cost and programmed it. As soon as my partner came home with the new key, I found your tutorial, popped open the clam shell, and jammed a piece of a ballpoint pen spring in the space. It works great, but I need to find a smaller spring that fits in the retaining shaft of the button. It works great and will continue to do so, but I run the risk of losing the replacement spring when we change the battery.
Thank you for this simple and straightforward video. I was having difficulties opening the key fob. This video helped. I was able to change the battery in just a few minutes.
Thank you! Sure beats trying to figure out instrux in an owner's manual. I did struggle with the battery snapping in properly but at the cost of a fingernail and some patience, I made it work.
Great! Simple enough, as it should be. Another video (the first google result I found) warned me not to stick a screw driver in the slot to separate the 2 sides because we wouldn't want to damage the circuitry, and would have had me cutting up my credit card to make a special tool to pry them apart. Luckily for me, a letter opener works just as well, as that's what was handy at my desk.
Geez, first time in my life I ever had to change the battery in a fob! Also, like others have said, screwdriver not required, key fits perfectly into slot to pry open.
After replacing the batteries, the remote does not work. I followed Copilot's advice to keep the key close to the car while inserting the battery. This turned out to be successful.
One other comment, if this is your first smart key fob, no you will have to change the battery every year or so. Unlike key fobs of the past, which only broadcast when you hit a button, your smart key fob is always broadcasting. This is how your car is able to recognize the fob is there, allowing you to unlock the doors and push button start. Whereas old key fobs could last many years without a battery replacement, the smart key fob for my Nissan Juke lasted between a year and a year and a half.

Great tutorial: straightforward and to the point without all the unneccessary commentary.
Useful tutorial.
The fob for my 2021 RAV4 Prime uses a different battery: CR2450.
You can also use the key to seperate the case, it fits nicely in that rectangle cavity.
Came to say this, the rectangular key fits perfectly to pop open the keyfob
Thank you and, you can use the key piece you removed and don't need a flat head, fits in there perfectly, likely what it was designed for.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing when I watched this
So much for me buying a top of the line CNC machine to make a custom key fob battery replacement tool!
I'm a Toyota tech and DON'T recommend using the emergency key to open the key fob
If you damage it,it may damage what you need for an emergency
Use a small screwdriver to open case.

Thanks, Just for those with newer FOBS, it may take a CR2450. That is what my wife's 2021 Rav4 Prime needed
Thanks! Simple instructions and was able to change two key fobs very quickly.

This is awesome. I just got the warning on my dashboard that the battery is low. Thanks!
Nice. Doing us a big favor by showing us these tricks . Thx
He did the right thing, by not using the key as a prying tool.
The first time I went to the dealer and paid around $30.00 to do this, I said to myself never again.
Thank you.
Your video was all I needed. Thanks man
Thanks very much for this video which clearly explains how to change a RAV4 2019-2021 battery. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the video. Saved me a trip to the battery store.

I just changed mind. Video was a great help. Thank you
Thanks for the video and may I compliment on your resounding vocal fry. Excellent
Great video, thank you! Also if you're in a pinch, the center part of a watch clasp buckle worked for me to pry the battery out.
Thanks, Man. A great reminder of how to replace the battery. I'm old (LOL) and didn't remember how to split the fob case :-)
Worked fine Thank you! I happened to have the battery on hand as they are the same ones that go in my telescope laser site😀
