Absolutely fantastic instructor and instructions. Showing step by step how to with easy to follow. The only thing missing is how to get the dang battery out of the package 😊
I'm an elderly woman and finally I found this great site that explains clearly how to change key fob battery. Its the repeat that helps me a lot. Explaining all the nuances helped me understand the process on E320 Mercedes.
OMG!! I want to give you a Big Hug. I have 2 FOBS and they both were dead this morning. Thank goodness I didn't go to the dealer for the battery. I actually recently bought 4 at the dollar store for my Bose Speaker remote! WoW! Can't believe this was soooo easy!! Thank you, Thank you!! Love TH-cam!!!
Thank you for this wonderful, accurate video on how to change the batteries in the MB key 🔑 fob You have saved me time and money. Typically, I would take the fob to the car dealership and was told that I had to buy a new fob that had to be shipped from Germany. Your honesty and this easy to follow video have been a blessing. I greatly appreciate your expertise 🙏🏽🎉🙌🏽
All the other videos didn’t give the most important tip which was where to place the key to pop the back off the fob - good stuff my friend. Thanks for the info
Thank you. I am still mad at the dealer for charging me 50 bucks to change my KEY battery about 8 years ago : He went inside for 15 minutes while I waited at the counter. :) :) :) I did figure out how to do it for the cost of two batteries for both keys. Your video is very good . thanks for making it .
Learn to use YELP and GoogleReviews. Once you have accomplished THAT write a review of the company at the address where you were back then ie., where this happened, the exact address. SLAM THEM HARD. Do not say WHEN this happened. It happened! Whether it was eight years ago or eight hours ago is not the point. Let your reviews sit there for as long as it takes for them to be noticed. Eventually the Dealership will respond. They NEED to be responsive to reviews on social media because when someone is looking for a Mercedes they'll read about variour dealerships in their area to decide where to go.
This was the best example to get the back cover to pop out! You just push in and wow! It pops! Other videos have you moving the key from left to right to get it to pop but that didn’t work for me so I’m glad I found your video! Thank you!
Thanks a thousand times. I can't tell you how I was unable to figure it out on my own and how frustrating it was. I have the owner's manual and it's description was worse than useless; the manual gave virtually no information at all. BRILLIANT!!!
Watched many videos on how to get the battery changed. But was unsuccessful in my attempts to open they fob. Watched your video and within a few minutes I got it opened and battery's changed. Thanks so much.
I had looked at 3 other videos and couldn’t open the fob. This video was simply superb because it was clear and I managed to open it in a few seconds. Thank you
Thank you!!! I was going crazy watching other videos and succeeding in doing nothing but scratching up the back of my key. Yours was the only one to show exactly where to put the key to pop the latch. Thanks so much!
carbuyingtipscom because they didn’t explain specifically to have the metal key positioned to the left. I was trying to reach the plastic tab from the center of the key fob. Once I went to the left it popped right open. The other videos didnt say that!
@@carbuying how can I get back off it’s stuck yes I’m opening latch I went around edges with safety pin also thinking maybe sticker stuff could be around nothing works
I cannot thank you enough for this easy to follow video. This video was the BEST one I viewed to replace the battery on my Mercedes key fob I have saved it for reference. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-)
My mechanical key did not go in on the left hand side of the slot. I used a very smallest Allen key to push down and it worked. Very good video. 👍🏼Most of the previous ones Ive seen are not very precise and descriptive.
Thanks for emphasizing the importance of key placement to EASILY pop off the back cover. You made this SO EASY! I’m a first time viewer, but will like, subscribe, and even share with my sister who has a GLE 350 as well. Thanks again!
Thank you ...that was easy. I have a 2017 C300 Coupe and just got a warning to replace the battery. Now that I know how I just need to get the right size . I have some but of course, they are all too big. Thanks again for a great video 😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tip: if you want the battery to last longer hold the key fob in your hand when you press the start button. The battery runs down quicker the further the fob is from the start button sensor. Same with auto-unlock door feature.
@@iSmileFX both functions utilize a radio signal to detect the digital fob code The further away, the more the energy drain of the device responding with the code. Same even with your TV IR remote. Longer distance from the receiver TV will drain the remote quicker. Breakout your multimeter and see for yourself.
Thanks mate. Great help. Very straightforward and clear instruction. The location of the tab and where to position and push the metal key, being the trick to it.
“Peel off the protective film”...I just laughed when I heard that because it totally explained why my key fob stopped working after I changed the battery. Thanks!
Thank you just 2 days ago I had a terrible time I did not know how to change a battery so I had to go dealership 😢😂good job thank you again for sharing
Nice, detailed video on Mercedes key fobs, other than the fact that Mercedes has at least one other style which happens to be mine, where once the key is removed there’s no sticking of the key back into the device along one edge to “pop” off the cover. I tried and tried this after watching this video, only to discover that I was mangling the plastic tab that I was told here to push against to no avail. What I did finally figure out that once the key is removed, the entire end of the key fob just easily slides out to access the battery compartment. Also note that though my Mercedes key fob looks just like the one in the video, mine requires two CR2025 batteries and not one.
I have the two battery type and the back does not "pop off." Instead there is a locking tab that holds the entire module and batteries inside the fob. If you remove the key and look inside the key hole, you'll see an obvious spring loaded tab that should be slid toward the opposite side. This will release the locking tab on the side and the whole battery module will slide out. I drew a diagram, but don't see how to post the picture.
Hello👍🏻 Thanks for the video. Just collected my Clk (2003) and one of the key fobs unlocks the car but doesn’t lock it..?! I’ll try the synchronise option you mentioned and see if it works.. but if you think it’s something else please let me know 👌🏻 Thanks.
People like this don’t get enough credit for these how to videos. Thanks man!!!
Every time I have to change the battery, I view this video. I like it because he takes enough time with each step. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Many Thanks that was great info Both Batteries were Dead now changed and works like a dream.

Wowwww you just saved my life bro! TYSM! They tried to tell me to just buy a new $250 key at the Advanced Auto today 😅

Thank you so much! My husband couldn't figure it out. I came to YT and clicked on your vedio... Done, within minutes! Such a proud moment for me! 😂😂😊

It worked!! I was digging all over the place until I went to the corner of the fob and it popped right off!! Thanks!!
I'm a Cave Man and I did it. Thank you! Best how-to video out there, which is surprising, because it is actually so easy to do. Way to keep it simple!
Glad it helped!
Absolutely first rate. The key (pun intended) was telling us EXACTLY where to put the key to release the battery cover. Thank you so much!

Yes, we all forget at some point to peel that sticker film.
Best video.. “all the way to the left” that’s what all the other videos missing
