I came across your video about this today. Recently, I had/have this issue crop up "Key-Fob not detected", however, it's not from a dead fob battery as your very detailed instructional video showed me how to open and check the battery in it. It was still good. It seems that the jeep may have lost programing on my key fob. If ;you know how to do this it would make a good follow up video for you. In the meantime I will have to continue my search. Thank you for a very informative vid!

Surprised that the never used spare fob battery died within a couple days of regularly used fob dying. At Target, Energizer CR2450 batteries come in pairs. Suggest using 1 and saving a new one sealed until needed. They're good for 10+ years, sealed and unused.

You keep dropping the jewels on the jeep gladdy daddy. Keep it up!

What drives me crazy is the emergency button on the fob? I keep hitting it by accident or it goes off while the fob is in my pocket. There has got to be a way to disable that button. Any suggestions?

I have a bad habit of not reading the manual until something is wrong or I find a button I didn't know was there and wonder what it's for. My wife did that in her 4Runner. Had a button and didn't know what it was. Turns out she had heated windshield wipers that melt the ice from the windshield! That would have been nice to know the previous two winters.

If you change the fob, it has to be linked to the specific vehicle. Otherwise all fobs would work on all vehicles.

@@robmotiveplus my apologies. “Changed” was a typo. We figured out the dilemma half hour ago and I told her to go back out and try again. She called me up freaking out saying that her car was 10 spots down and this time face out when last night it was pulled in. She had the wrong car. 🤣🤣 her boyfriend changed the battery last night in the fob and she found out today that he had it in backwards even after I told her to make sure to tell him to put the. + face down.

That looks like the fattest lithium button battery I’ve ever seen. Yet, it doesn’t appear to last twice as long. I’ll have to get one on order…my Jeep is nearly a year old. Of course, it’s still at the shop following my squirrel attack, but it’s best to have that replacement on hand. Thanks for popping your fob open to show that fatboy!
