This is how all how-to videos should be made: clear and to-the-point, without the 5-minute monologue nonsense at the beginning. Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks, yet again. This is the second time you've saved me on battery changes. I have three more cars I'll be coming to back to learn about, next up, Chevy Silverado LOL
Thank you for this easy to follow video. I’ve never done anything like this before and I did it myself! The hardest part was getting the new battery out of the dumb packaging!
Thank you Rob for a great fob battery replacement video!! The step by step video instructions for installation of the new battery and for putting the parts back were very clear. I encountered one difference in my battery cover. It does not have a slide in tab.. You push it into place without the tabs. It is odd not to have the tab which is the way it should be.
Thank you so much, you made a daunting task look easy, my only suggestion would be to slow down a pinch and show the back of the sides so we get the right side up.
2022 CX-5 Premium Plus and both fobs need new batteries, they lasted alot longer than the battery in my CX-5 did. 1st battery was shot after 2 months and the 2nd one at 12 months after that. Now on my third battery and it's leaking from the negative post side, unfortunately it still passes the load test so the dealer won't replace it (yet). Need for it to go bad before January 30th when my 3 year bumper to bumper warranty expires (trust me, iw will). Take it from me folks, I love my CX-5 and the Mazda brand, I plan on keeping it for at least a few more years before I move up to maybe a CX-70. Ya'll make sure when you replace your battery out of your own pocket to get a Motorcraft, Diehard, etc. not a Mazda branded battery, they suctink.
Many thanks for this! Pressing that tab in, so the back half comes out is a doozy! I had a hard time pressing it in and my key doesn't fit like yours to pop it out!
When I got my used Mazda 3 one of the key fobs was trashed. After changing the battery in the other one I understand why. Even if you're doing it correctly you practically need a crowbar to get that second side off.
My owners manual says 2025, thats nuts because they are too skinny and only will work every once in awhile. then on the actual fob it says 2032..... So 2032 is the bomb!! Thanks
yea, learned the hard way. Changed it out with a 2025, got to a restaraunt and no fob! Took a little thinking to figure it out after the second time I replaced it with another brand new 2025 and it did the same thing! Figured out if I squeezed it it would work. EPIPHANY MOMENT!! @@KeyFobRob
What a great video, can't say the same for mazda technology, everything is ridiculous on this make of a car. When I was Walking in mall with fob in pants pocket it opened up the hatch accidentally. What a piece of crap. Don't break the little bugger trying to get in it. Remote starter only works if you have great internet.
Sounds like user error, since you need to be right by the vehicle for the trunk to open so walking around the mall and hitting the button won’t open the trunk.
I love my CX-5, but honestly, the Mazda owners manual is the worst one I've ever seen. Almost everything needs to be looked up on TH-cam to find out how it works - come on Mazda, you can do better - and thank goodness for TH-cam!!
Love our cx9, but i wont buy another mazda unless they put remote start on the key fob. They force you to use a phone app that they now charge a subscription fee for.

Thank you. This video was VERY helpful. I love how it's straight to the point and the video is less than 2 minutes.
Glad it helped, and that it was short and to the point!
That was wonderful. So very to the point and helpful. Glad I found this.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job Key Fob Rob! 👏
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. The local agent charges a hefty amount for the same replacement. I saved a lot by following this video. Thanks
Straight to the point, thank you so much!
Thanks, yet again. This is the second time you've saved me on battery changes. I have three more cars I'll be coming to back to learn about, next up, Chevy Silverado LOL
I've done most cars so feel free to browse :)
Thank you! Exactly what I needed so I didn’t break my key fob!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this easy to follow video. I’ve never done anything like this before and I did it myself! The hardest part was getting the new battery out of the dumb packaging!
Great 👍 Nice job
Thank you! Was quoted 250 for a new remote and saw your video thank you man!
So that part where you super easily pushed in the tab with the little key…..how? I can’t get it to budge.
Trick is to push that tab down (not to the side). While pushing down the tab, you can pull the other side panel at the same time.
Like acw said "doesn't budge."
it took me like 20 mins to do it instead of 1.5 mins but I got it done. thank you so much
Thank you so much! SO helpful!! My battery just died and your helped me replace it! 👌🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for letting me know. That's good to know there are different versions out there!

Thank you, very helpful. Car is good, handbook dreadful, including no mention of changing the remote battery.
Glad it helped
Awesome. Short and straight to the point
Glad it helped!
Mazda charges 2.5 hours labor to replace fob battery
Well, 2.5 hours is a good indication of how difficult it is.
Short and sweet.
Wow. Thank you for this video. Wish I could say it was as easy as shown.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for no BS, straight to the point video🎯Helpful 👍👍
Glad it helped!
Great video. On the other hand, my fob did put up a fight to pop the logo side. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
You are the man. Thanks, my dude! 👏
Thank you! Your video helped us replace the batteries in our two fobs.
Glad it helped
Nice one just made changing battery on my key fob easy thank you 👍

Great video!
Better than the "other guy" who suggested prying the chrome top piece off.
I suspected that wasn't necessary.
You are correct 😊
Battery replacement at Light Speed. A little fast but helpful. Thanks.
The attention span of the average TH-camr is pretty short so I do my best to keep it brief. Either way, glad it was of some assistance.
Perfect instructions! Thank you!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks from Australia. I'm dumb and I had no trouble :)

Very helpful 🎉I did it!!!

Thank-you for this.
Glad it helped!
Got it! Thank you!

Worst fob by far out of any makers what were they not thinking?
My owners manual says 2025, thats nuts because they are too skinny and only will work every once in awhile. then on the actual fob it says 2032..... So 2032 is the bomb!! Thanks
Yikes - 2032 and 2025 are generally interchangeable but you're absolutely right that the 2025 will sometimes be too thin
yea, learned the hard way. Changed it out with a 2025, got to a restaraunt and no fob! Took a little thinking to figure it out after the second time I replaced it with another brand new 2025 and it did the same thing! Figured out if I squeezed it it would work. EPIPHANY MOMENT!! @@KeyFobRob
You’re awesome. Thanks for this
Perfect Thanks a lot!!!
Glad it helped!
Your a legend, thank you.
No problem. Glad it was helpful
fast, concise and to the point. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you, kind sir!
Happy to help!
Thank you. Nice and short
Welcome!
Thanks Key Fob!
No problem!
Great video and much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
What about the keys without the release tab?
I would search a specific year for your key fob battery replacement then. That might help. Good luck
Thankfully there are videos like this because this key fob has the worst design for battery changes.
Спасибо большое 👍🏽👏
You're welcome 😁
Thanks for the help bud!
No problem 👍
How long does a battery last ?
on these, 2ish years. 4 if you're lucky
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent. Thank you.
You are welcome!
What if I don’t have the mechanical key
you don't have to have it for the fob to work. You can use a screwdriver to pry off the sides
What a great video, can't say the same for mazda technology, everything is ridiculous on this make of a car. When I was Walking in mall with fob in pants pocket it opened up the hatch accidentally. What a piece of crap. Don't break the little bugger trying to get in it. Remote starter only works if you have great internet.

It happened more than once. I just opened it again 50 feet from vehicle and inside my house. I open and close .
I'm doing it for a cx9 and was told to use 2025 and it doesn't work when I installed
It uses a 2032
Nice, you’ve saved the consumer from 55$ charge at the dealership.
Nice!
I love my CX-5, but honestly, the Mazda owners manual is the worst one I've ever seen. Almost everything needs to be looked up on TH-cam to find out how it works - come on Mazda, you can do better - and thank goodness for TH-cam!!
Agreed 😂
Nicely done.

Super thanks!

Thanks for the help
Happy to help
I still can't get the back part to pop off where the battery is! So frustrating - Honda is wayyyy easier to change the battery,.
Doesn't work on my Mazda CX5. Instead, I had to follow Key Fob Rob's directions for a Mazda 3, which were perfect.
Glad one of my videos was helpful
