@@lsolidum8942 No. But if you open yours, you'll probably be able to determine the type, which is etched in the battery. Mine is not a CR2032

Thank you so much. My husband, who used to change out our batteries, passed away early July, and of course now there is so much I am learning to do myself.

FYI you can use the key to pop out the battery the same way you used it to split the two halves of the FOB. No screwdriver required :)

Thanks... About to post the same comment but I see you are just as clever. Thank God. We need to make sure our species doesn't lose it's problem-solving ability, and this "tool improvisation" helps, seriously. I am not being funny... I know someone is gonna take your comment and call it a "life hack" in a tik tok video at some point, when it's just straight common sense.

Step 2.5, take note of which direction the dead battery is facing before removing it.

You'd have to be awfully stupid to put the battery in facing the wrong way.
Aloha. Thanks for the video instructions. I couldn't figure out how to change the battery so was going to stop by Toyota to have them change the battery and told myself "Wait a minute. There must be instructions on KZread." Lo and behold, used Google to get the link and your video popped up. Easy to follow instructions. Battery size and type is right on the battery itself - easy to buy at Walmart, Target, and most food stores. Thanks for saving me $$$.
OK - I don't get to help your business since I live half a world away in Singapore, but this video was a lifesaver this morning when the thousandth "low battery" reminder from the car prompted me to finally figure out how to switch batteries ! Thanks so much for taking the time to make it ! :)
Thanks! This worked perfectly as described for my 2016 Rav4 Hybrid's key fob. CR2032 battery.
Thank you. This works with the 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid HL key fob, that uses the cr2032 "button" battery.
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out where the opening was to replace the battery. I watched your video, and luckily for me, I had the battery I needed. It was replaced in 5 minutes! You saved me a trip to the Toyota dealer which is where I was headed to figure this out.
Fantastic simple video. Thanks!
Excellent and easy to follow directions! Thank you so very much!
I wish you showed a closer view of where you pried the case open as not to damage the case. Thanks
This was so clear. thank you.
Thank you ! Very helpful.
Thank you for this video... It would be nice if you show what type of battery is needed and then show us how to put it back together.
my man! thanks! saved me the headache of making calls and/or setting up a service appointment for a dumb battery.
Thank you. Worked for 2017 Rav4. Battery: CR 2032
thank you from a Toyota customer in Augusta, Georgia, USA
Thanks! Very helpful!!!
Thanks Carter! Super helpful.
Excellent! Made it easy to change the FOB battery.
Buddy guy, why can't people make more videos like you, clear and to the point, keep making more videos please, your the best.
Great video! Thanks. Saved me a lot of hassle when my 2017 Highlander suddenly flashed that my key fob battery was low. I was thinking, "Now what?"
Quite helpful. Thanks.
Excellent, thank you!
Very Helpful.
Thanks so much! Very generous of you...
Carter - thank you. Easy as 1-2-3!
Most helpful...thanks!
Thank you for posting!
Just wanted to say thank you, this is a really helpful video
Thanks! Easy to do with your help!
you need to get the camera in closer so it actually shows something. can't see anything
Thanks very much for this video. It helped a lot.
Thank you, McPhillips... You save me to spend time and money :)
Thank you for this! You saved the day. This works for my 2016 Toyota Sienna key - CR2032 battery.

Thanks very helpful, strange my remote which is 3 years old wouldn’t operate earlier in the day, but it’s suddenly working again. So I’m going to replace the battery, maybe its just getting low and needs to be replaced. Any idea how long these remote batteries are supposed to last?
Very appreciated!

Thank YOU!
Lmao if you are going to replace the battery at least say what battery it is

Does this require any reprogramming once done or is it supposed to just work again automatically after replacing the battery?

I changed the battery but when I put it back together the spring that hold the open button is missing how can I get another spring 2018 Rav 4
My low tire pressure light is on all the time. It's a bad sensor. The dealership wants to change them all because the vehicle is at the age when the sensor battery goes bad. Can I disable it?
Thank u ! After Watching your video i cud change battery within 2 mins…
I fucking love KZread for videos like this. Thank you
How about the lordly spring inside how do I install that
My 2009 Toyota does not have a push to open it any ideas how to open it
Battery size ?
What if you changed it you put in the new battery in it doesn’t work what do you do then
this was easy and works .... except, a small spring popped out and couldn't find how to put it back in. Anyone else have this problem?
Thank you for showing me how to do this! I appreciate the video!
How long does the battery need replacement?
Its is easy except the release spring popped out and I do not know how to put back together
On my 2019 Prius keyfob, there is no push icon. There is a slider to take out the key, and the key is used to open the shell. Then there is a cover over the circuit board to pry off, and the circuit board itself has to be pried out, using a pocket knife. It is a pain. When you get to the battery, there is a solid plastic piece of the frame holding it in, and it's not obvious how to get the battery out. I think your video should cover all the Toyota variants.
I do not have a Smart Key. I have an old 2009 key with a battery to open, doors, trunk and alert. I have no idea nor can I find how to replace the batteries anywhere. Please help.
Yiu need tk say what size battery is needed
I was happy to be your 1,000th like! :-)
It would be helpful to see where the key is prying off of.
I have a 2010 corolla and my key fob looks nothing like this one. Can anyone direct me to a vid on the type I have. One other thing to note about this video; make sure you observe the orientation of the battery before you remove it so you put the new one in correctly. Some people may not be familiar with these types of batteries?
What size battery is that

I have a hard time opening the fob.
Dude ! Wat kind of battery!
My key will not release out of the fob 😢
Watched this several times and still can't see how the key opens up the FOB. You need to zoom in on it so we can see it better.
You forgot to mention battery size

Battery on new ones doesn't seat all the way in.
Mine is the 2017 Toyota Camry SE car key is not the same as the one you're referring to. It seems that it is easy for you, but your device does not concentrate more closely how you do it. What a shame.
I can't open the key of my car

2032 or 1632 depending on your fob
Your black tie makes it difficult to see how it opens ~ plus please re record with a zoom of the sliding ~ I still have not been able to open mine
The fact that this slipshod video doesn’t even bother to give us a simple closeup - to show where the pullout key was placed - shows how carelessly it was made. Fortunately, there are more helpful videos available.
👍🏽👌🏽💯
Drives me absolutely insane when someone creates a video, and then abandons it, never to return to care about the viewers of whom they made the video for. A shout out to the good people who stop and write to answer.
How in the world can we see what you are doing when your camera is so far away?
These instructions are not helpful for a 2019 RAV4 hybrid smart key fob which opens differently and who knows what battery it takes.
At the very least, add the battery type in the description.
@kateo8382

Battery model varies by the type of fob you have. It seems that 2032 and 1632 are typical.
waiting for you to change the battery and waiting ....
Useful but would be helpful if you got closer up so we could actually see what you’re doing.
