This may be the single most helpful video I've ever found on CZcams-- not kidding at all. The instructions are clear, concise, and straight to the point, neither no more or no less than what I needed to know. The video and audio quality are excellent-- I'm hard of hearing, but I understood every word Shane was saying without having to rewind and repeat even once. My only regret is that I didn't look for it before trying the job the first time around-- I messed up exactly the way Shane describes, and it would have made life so much easier if I could have seen his instructions to help me put the fob back together again. Bottom line: watching this 5 minute video can save you an hour's worth of frustration.
Thank you for the kind words! it is very appreciated. We are very glad this video helped you out.
Mr. Mackreth, I completely agree with you. I looked at other videos about replacing the Honda key fob but none of them addressed the labels falling apart. When mine fell apart, I panicked. But, I came across this video, and it literally saved me from additional frustration.
Thank you so much for this video! I opened up the keyless remote and all the components came out. I was sitting in my car outside of a busy Home Depot parking lot after purchasing a replacement battery with the horn going off in panic mode. I prayed, and searched CZcams for a video like this and found yours! Thank you SO much!
Dude. You’re my hero. I was legit freaking out when all the buttons popped out. Thank you!
GREAT help!! Thank you VERY much!! I couldn't figure out the little tiny crossbar, but you saved the day. 👏👏😊
Same!!!
Omg same here I needed to help my brother replace his battery cause it was dying thank y so much r u a hero tday god bless u sir
And then some! I tossed the pieces across the room after they fell out. Took awhile to find them.
Wish I would've watched his video first instead of the other ones.
Deadass 🤣
Around a year ago, I had to replace battery so watched CZcams. Everything fell apart and I am 67 so it was really hard to put everything together, and I was never sure if I did it right. Had to replace again today and could not remember what I did so thank you for saving me precious time and energy in putting it all back when it fell apart again. Why do the manufacturers of these things make it so hard for us to do a simple thing like replace a battery. I wish they would just go back to the old days of just a key - much cheaper to replace and nothing to put together or hurt arthritic hands. We can't all afford to have dealers replace - why they think we bought such a small car?
We understand that this can be a little tricky. Hopefully the video helped!
He should say THREE THINGS! 1st put clear packing tape over the buttons before you open.
2. Hold the solid side UP when cracking open the case. Keep the buttons Facing DOWN! Without mentioning which way to hold the unit when you twist the key to open it, it's easy for the little baby keys to pop loose and you are left in a real mess.
3. Use a small flat head screwdriver to pop the battery out to replace.
Makes it much easier.
THANK YOU! Everyone is showing us how to change the battery but nothing on what to do if your key fob explodes into pieces! I was about to give up and throw away the "extra part" lol you saved the day!! 👍👍👍
Very, very helpful. I'd tried to replace the battery once following the owner's manual instructions - and was a little freaked when all the pieces came loose and I couldn't get the battery itself freed up. This video gave me the courage to try again knowing I could put it all back together. Thanks, Rensselaer Honda staff.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I freaked out when my whole fob fell apart. None of the other videos showed what to do if that happened. You're a GODSEND.
omg- totally. i lost my mind!!!! thank you 🙏🏼
Can I just say this is the most helpful video on the internet! I struggled so hard to figure out how to do this, watched this video and got it done successfully within 5 minutes. I called my local Honda and they said they would do it for $100. If I lived close to Rensselaer I would purchase my next car through you because it is clear you care about the customers not just money! THANK YOU!!
$100??? That is really ballsy. They should have just replaced it for you, it would have taken less than 5 minutes, and maybe you would buy your next Honda from them. Bad business move on their part...Glad you went to CZcams instead 👏
Thanks for this great video! And for anyone who is struggling to REMOVE the old battery held in place by the four prongs--and you don't want to break the prongs off, you push the battery back toward the middle of the fob. It's spring loaded. It took me way too long to figure that one out!
I have a 2020 HRV...I can't feel the spring action and the old battery would not budge. : (
This video was a life saver. My fob fell apart when I tried to change the battery and thankfully I was able to reassemble it thanks to this video.!
Sameeee🤣
LoL was about to lose my mind🤣. I had to use a piece of tape on the front to hold the pieces in place so I could reassemble it because they kept falling apart or they wouldn't line up properly. Thank you for taking the time and patience to make this video!
No problem. We are glad to here this video helped you.
Outstanding video. Clear, well spoken by a true professional and a simple, clear explanation on how to replace the battery and most importantly, how to put it back together when in falls on the floor and breaks apart; that is what happened to me. My complements on a job well done on this outstanding video.
Thanks! you save my day! when i took apart the key, the whole thing fell apart. even through there are many other video clips, but they just shows how to simply replace battery. i struggled to figure out how to assemble it, and found your video which goes the extra mile to show how to put the whole thing back. Great service, well done!
I was like, oh nooooooo, it fell apart!
Thank you for taking your time to make this video! My key fob fell apart today in trying to replace the battery and your video made it easy to put it all back together. It was a nice step-by-step video. Thanks again!
Very useful. After watching this video, I put together the buttons in couple of minutes while my wife was struggling for an hour before. Thank you for saving us couple of hundred bucks in getting a spare key from the dealer!!!!
when my fob fell apart into a bunch of pieces after changing the battery, I was so happy to find your video! it's all back together now, but it took some time to get it to snap into place! Thanks so much!
This was exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed and I love that. Thank you!
Excellent video and thank you for showing what to do when things fall apart, which they often do. Heck, I've driven my Pilot for two years and I didn't know there was a key in there. Learn something new everyday! Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Fell apart and was trying to figure out how to get it all together correctly. Your video was a lifesaver! Great job explaining!
I freaked out when all the components came apart! Your video was a life saver. A million 'Thank you' for your instructions.
This is why I love CZcams. I never would have gotten this thing open had it not been for this video.
Great advice! A few years ago I didn't press down on the plastic cover while removing the battery, and the pieces flew everywhere. This time lesson learned. Everything stayed in place and it took 1 minute and no mess! Thanks 😃
Glad it helped!
Thanks for posting this. A caution: I found the press fit that holds the fob case together to be extremely tight. Couldn't get enough leverage with just the removable key to snap it open, so had to hold one lip of the case with a pair of pliers and use a flat blade screwdriver instead. Sure enough, when the case finally popped open everything fell apart as you described. Your reassembly instructions were invaluable.
Honda does many things well, but the design of this fob isn't one of them. The fob for my 2007 CR-V is held together with a single phillips screw. Assuming you have a small enough screwdriver, it's much easier to change the battery on that one.
Thank you for this. I was replacing the battery and the buttons fell out as you described. This video saved me several minutes of puzzling out how to put things back together again!
Thank you so so so much! I freaked out when everything fell apart. Your video was perfect. I didn’t make the same mistake on the spare key. I held everything in place while I removed the battery. Again thank you for a great video!
Really well done instructional video. My fob was slightly different, but I figured it out and couldn't have done it without your help. Appreciate it!
No problem. I am glad to hear our video helped you.
My civic started signalling me today that the key battery is dying, I thought I'd have to head to the agency to replace it, then I found this detailed video on CZcams, thank you so much.
This is the very best video for re-installing the keyless remote battery. He showed what to do when all of the components fall out, which is what happened to me. Other videos were not as thorough. Thank you!
You saved my life!!!!! Until I found your wonderful video, I was completely lost when all my key fob parts fell out. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you! My kids say thank you too. They were tired of hearing me yelling everytime it fell apart ... again.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this! my key fob fell apart today after opening it to change the battery. i thought i'd have to buy a new fob... then i found your video and followed the steps and the key is now put back together and working!
I NEVER comment on CZcams videos, but I wanted to thank you for saving me! I couldn’t believe all the pieces that fell out when I tried to replace the battery. Your guide was very helpful.
GREAT video. I had mine fall apart just like in the video. I almost panicked. Mine had an extra button for the remote start, but following the video, I was able to easily replace the battery and reassemble the fob. Thanks for a clear and well done video.
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much. It was a sanity saver as I almost freaked when all the little pieces fell out when I tried to change the battery!! my fob has two icons in the bottom row but your demo helped me figure it all out. A true public service. The best to you!
Glad it helped!
Best tutorial. It gives us the how to get that battery out without everything falling apart. AND if you didn't watch this first, it tells you how to put it all back together if you messed up and everything falls out.
I found that on the 2020 Fit, the last Fit Sold in the USA, it is impossible to open this without it falling apart.
I bought a 2017 Honda Fit a few months ago, and my key fob battery warning light was on, so I got ready to replace it. The salesman had showed me how to open it, so I was pretty confident until I did, and the whole thing fell apart. I freaked out until I found your video. It was the only one I came across that showed how to do this. Even though my fob was a bit different than yours, I was able to get it all back together with your help. Thank you!!!
It would cost me $20 to replace the battery at the dealer. Instead I chose to take a couple of minutes of my time to watch this video and it will only cost me $2.37 to replace the battery. Thank you!
They're 2 for a dollar in my dollar store.
@@joedee7629 Probably when cheap will come back to bite you on the tush.
This was an incredibly useful video! I was changing my battery using one of your other videos then the buttons fell apart. Had a slight panic till I found this video. Thank you for taking the time and explaining it so clearly!
Same here! Took it apart to replace the battery, and all the little parts flew out!
Bro! Bless you for making this video! Spent almost an hour trying to put it back together and your video came through! Words can't describe how much I appreciate this tutorial! Sending you love from Indonesia!
Love this video. I spent an hour or so trying to puzzle out how to put mine back together before I found it. Would love to see an update for fobs with the little trunk and remote start hold buttons ahown. They were tricky.
You are a lifesaver. My battery indicator started flashing on the dash this evening. After Pickleball I stopped over at Lowes to look for the CR2032 battery. I took the key fob apart and the pieces all fell out. I was able to put it back together and get it to work, but had no idea where that little plastic ladder looking piece with the circle in the middle went. When I got home I watched your video, found out, and replaced it properly. Thanks much!
No problem! Happy to hear the video helped you.
Perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this on CZcams! I had no idea how to put it back together and yes, it happened while I was replacing the battery! Brilliant instructions!
AWESOME! THANK YOU! I, too couldn't figure out where that crossbar piece went! I feel much better now. Going to re-assemble it as soon as I get home. THANKS AGAIN!!!

Bless you for making this video! How has my key unraveled? Let me count the ways. I didn't know how to replace the battery without having to replace everything, so thank you for that. I just put my key back together today and ended up with an extra piece--the little crossbar that goes on top of the push buttons to stabilize them. I had NO IDEA where that went and wasted an hour or more trying to figure it out. Now I know. I really can't thank you enough!!
This is by far the best how to video for replacing that battery. Other videos have you playing with two of the clips, ugh. This technique is sooo much better. Thanks a ton.
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing this. I thought I was going to have to take it in and get if fixed, but I did it, thanks to this video!!!!
Oh my gosh. I wish I could give you a HUGE hug right now! I am such a klutz and just knew I could never fix it. Your directions were easy to follow and spot on! Thank you so much!
A special thank you for showing how to reassemble it! It was very hard to take that battery out and everything fell apart! :)
Thank you, thank you I would never have figured this out after all the parts fell out. Great detailed explanation.
THANK YOU! It just fell apart in my hand and parts went everywhere! You're a genius!
The battery life of my Honda is terrible. With only 16,000 miles, the battery went out. Then after the pandemic. I drove my crv with the new battery , the key fobs ( both of them ) did not work. We were not able to lock the car in the middle of our Christmas shopping. So before everything failed. We drove home . My husband replaced the battery. But ended up with a bag of fragments like in this video. I salute you for making this video to help me resemble the fob …..and it works.
We are glad to hear this video helped you out.
Thanks so much for this video. I've been working on my key fob for 2+hrs. I solved the Rubik's cube faster than it's taken me to put this puzzle back together again. Watched many other videos with no success, but was able to get it right while your video was still playing.
Excellent instructions how to reassemble this key fob!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much, simple and direct instead of some others that went all around Robin's Barn :-)
Thank You!! So easy, so fast!! I appreciate this....I, like others checked my owner's manual to no avail which means they want you to pay a Honda dealership to do this simple procedure! Amazingly easy and fast!!
I first checked my owner's manual - NO info on changing the battery or even what the error on my dash meant. Probably on purpose!
DUDE. I was one of the stoogemonkeys that blew the remote apart (battery change) and thought for sure I'd have to buy another. YOU led me back to full functionality!!!
Thanks. I was stuck when the black cross bar fell out. This was really helpful to reassemble the mess. Very clear instructions.
Excellent. The only video that show everything including how the buttons line up.
I'm here after the battery removal video I watched told me to pull out the control unit to 'make things easier'.
If it wasn’t for you video I would have ordered a new key fob from Honda. It took me hours to accomplish getting this little slides in but I finally did it. Thank you for this video, I am saving it on my Bookmarks.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your help! You saved me from spousal disapproval after I dropped the key fob! Your instructions were so clear and you have great presentation skills. Please continue your CZcams videos!
Glad I could help!
What’s not clear is u need a close shot to where u put the key and twist in the center spot of the fob……..I was putting in the long opening…….thanks for the video I eventually got it !!!!!!
Dude I LOVE U...lol. Totally saved my life and sanity. Thank you, thank you soooo much.🤗🤗❤❤
Oh, you're a lifesaver! Took apart my first fob and everything fell apart. Took apart my second fob so I could figure out how to put it back together and that whole thing fell apart. As is my whole neighborhood is awake right now because every time I tried to snap everything back together the alarm would go off, but at least I got everything together in the end. Thank you so much for your help!
THANK YOU!
The fob falls apart, my heart sinks looking at the parts and pieces, I reach for CZcams and here you were.
Tragedy averted….
Again, THANK YOU!
Glad I could help!
I am sure the only person that would give this a thumb down is another Honda dealer. I have changed many key fobs for both my Acura and Honda's. This time it fell off my table as I was changing the battery and everything came off. Thanks so much for the Help. funny thing is I live in NYC and use a leasing broker, turns out before I went to Acura I leased many Hondas over the years and at least 3 came from your dealership. thanks for the past and present.
Thank you. You saved me from losing my mind
Thank you!!! I put my key back together and couldn’t figure out where the black part went so I just left it out but I’m like no.. google what the hell it is and sure enough your video solved my problem! Thank you
This video saved us! We are on vacation with no Honda dealer nearby. Both our remotes were losing connection with the pickup, so we bought new batteries. But our fobs fell apart and the buttons went everywhere! We knew most of how to put it back together, but couldn’t agree on where that little cross piece went - before or after the flexible part and where at on the keys themselves. Whew! Thanks again!
awesome! Glad to hear the video helped you out!
Embarrassed to say I actually did the whole buttons falling out replacement, glad this was here. Saved me some time figuring out how that crossbar went back in, Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad this helped you out.
this happened to me this morning. i’m so thankful for youtube
Don't watch Honda DIY smart key fob battery replacement. He just shows how to open the remote and nothing else. Doesn't even warned you that they may that it may all come apart
This one shows you how to actually replace the battery czcams.com/video/2zPz8HyuSr8/video.html
I like to watch.
Thank you!! Clear instructions and your patient voice really helped. I was freaking out when it all fell apart.
Thanks, was struggling to get my fob reassembled, followed your instructions as was done in less than 10 minutes.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Same thing as others....the fob fell apart and your video helped me put it back together. Such a calming instructor.
Thank you very much for posting this video. The black crossbar plastic piece is the piece that got me. I didn't know how that piece supposed to go back in. Now it's all back together because of your video.
Thank you SO much. Trying to chg the battery and the whole thing fell apart. Most of the pieces made their way under the couch. Good times. This video was just what I needed. Thanks again.
This is without a doubt one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen! Thank you!
You are a lifesaver! Wish I had watched your video 1st but so thankful I found it after my fob fell apart! Thank you!
I was freaked out when all the buttons popped apart. Thank you so much man.
Thanks for the quite excellent tutorial. I am one of the clutzes who let it spill apart on my desk, and was helped tremendously by your video. Thanks again.
I appreciate you. Best video ever on how to prevent it AND how to fix it. I owe you a beer.
Thank you! Glad it helped.
You are the cavalry on the hill. I got my replacement aftermarket key fob and it fell into a thousand pieces after opening the bag. Without your video I’d be in some deep sh*t. Thanks much for the post.
Thank you! I was one of those who tried to change the battery for the first time and all of a sudden I had pieces everywhere. Actually got it assembled on my own....except I couldn't figure out where that crossbar went! Very annoying. Shouldn't be so challenging to change a simple battery! But now I know how to assemble one of these gadgets!
You saved my butt. Just like everyone else I tried to pry out the battery and the whole thing went everywhere. Thank you for showing me where everything goes back in. Great video.
Your welcome! Thank you for watching!
Your video was 100% helpful and thank you for also showing how to put it back together in the event that it may have fallen apart while changing the battery. Thank you so much.
Thank you, very helpful. When replacing my key battery, the key holder was fallen apart, I put them together smoothly after following this step by step.
Excellent demonstration - the best and clearest explanation I've seen so far !!
Me being the klutz that I am watched the video on how to replace the battery - UNTIL the entire thing fell apart. Grateful for this video to reassemble it!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....I didn't know what to do with the H shaped plastic piece, when my remote came apart. Invaluable video. Well done!!
Thank you so much! All my pieces fell out and I totally panicked and messed it up. I was able to fix it thanks to your explanation!!!!
Lol. The way you explained how most people open their key fob without holding it down. That was me today but inside my car was so glad it didn’t fell under the seat while changing the battery cause it went low. I couldn’t figure out where that black piece mounted to until I watched this video. Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thank you for this vid. My Acura key fob fell apart this morning and after a failed attempt in putting back together I set the alarm off by mistake. After watching reassembled and works perfect.
Thank you. Both of key fobs fell to bits (long story!) and your great video saved us a lot of hassle
THANK YOU
I was freaking out when it fell apart trying to change the battery. You rock my friend. I'm gonna go up vote every video you ever made.
Thank you! I am glad the video helped.
Can't thank you enough for making this video! This saved me from my panic moment. Thank you, thank you!!
This was an excellent video! Easy to understand and in laymans terms. Thank you so much!!
Fantastic! You are a lifesaver. My 2016 Acura Key Fob fell apart and I was confused where the stupid metal piece fitted. Your video on the Honda model saved the day.
Thank you! My key fob fell apart when I changed the battery and I could figure out how to get those little pieces back. My key fob is a little different (more pieces and my cross bar has goes in differently) but this video was a lifesaver!
You’re the best! My fob fell apart, pieces went flying. You were the only one I found who explained how to reassemble the damn thing! Thank you!!!
Thank you! Glad the video helped!
Thanks SO much you! You spoke slow enough and showed every step!!! I’m 70 and was proud to learn from you!!
Awesome! Glad to help!
Thank you so much! The video was a life saver..the whole thing had fallen apart when we tried to replace the battery!
Thank you for having enough lighting so we can actually see all the parts, and how they fit back into the FOB.
Glad to here the video was helpful! Thank you for watching!
