Key Battery Nissan Key fob HOW TO
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This will help you change the key battery in the Nissan Proximity key. You need a high quality CR2025 battery so that the key works correctly, don't go cheap! Buy a good quality battery on Amazon by clicking the link below.

The problem with changing the key battery is that Nissan have done a really good job of joining the two halves of the key. This means that when you try and split the key, it feels like it doesn't want to open.
The important thing is to choose a screwdriver that is the same size as the slot. Then just give it a twist.
Don't put too much pressure on the slot, otherwise you may slip and damage yourself or the key!

Yep. I second that. Really helped us a lot just now
Thanks mate. I thought that small switch thing opened it, but it turns out to be an actual key - which nobody at the dealership bothered to tell me. Luckily I had a battery to hand.

Yes, it would be handy to be told, but I think they just want your money…
Very helpful (6 years later) indeed! I was always postponing on doing it myself, fearing that I'd break something. After watching the video, I knew nothing was going to break. To add on this already super-helpful video, it's even easier/safer if you have some plastic opening picks or other tools used to open mobile-phones/laptops available. In my case, they came handy and the job was done with no scratches.

Thank you for explanining and showing very clearly. It really did took my worry out. I cracked my new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone to inser SIM card, thinking I have to open from the back, not realising you get a pin to do that and u do it from top. I didn't wanna do that with my car key so I found your video and it was helpful. Like one of the comment, I used a butter knife instead of a screwdriver to open FOB and to remove the battery, I had to use a scredriver. Also DL/CR2025 I bought had a 'child safety'picture which I inserted into the key FOB without removing it and it didnt work at first (which gave me a slight panick attack!). Then I removed that 'child safety' sticker and a tiny gel form paste from the 'negative' side of the battery (you have all the writings on the 'positive'side of the battery). So once done that, it all worked fine :) Thanks once again my Car Key Man :)

This is the perfect "how-to" video. Many could learn from this. Fwiw, mine had a CR2032 in it. I had to look up the difference to a CR2025. Apparently it's thickness (3.2mm vs 2.5mm) and a higher capacity. Same diameter. The thicker one seems to fit ok in my key.

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I am in the US, and amazon is where I shop for everything, because free shipping to Hawaii. I saw a video for some other brand fob, where he just bought the housing, and transferred the electronics etc. So I wonder if that can be done with the Nissan Murano fob, if the housing is just the shell, or if it comes with the buttons, and the electronics can be transferred. So I don't have to pay an arm & leg at Nissan to reprogram a brand new fob. $ 189 OMG. Just like when years ago my alternator went out everybody wanted to sell me a new one for $ 200, all I needed was an insulation disk for $2 that had burned out.

So glad i found this video. My battery is dead on my kry and low on my wifes. Heres to prsying it wont need reprogramming as I really dont want to go to the dealer for it.
