Totally Agree. If people start with too much waffle (endless chatter) I just stop and go elsewhere. They can do all the waffle at the end and not the start.
CR2032 battery can be used as they give a longer life. They are thicker than a CR2025 but still fit and same voltage. They are used in some garage door remotes as well.
I've been using it for several years now. It saved my bacon when I was in a remote area and My battery ran out. I could get in the car and I got it started but I knew I wouldn't be able to get it started again. I drove 20 mi into town, got Wi-Fi and watched this video and put the new battery in.
This video absolutely empowered me! I always thought I had to take the key fob to the dealer to replace the battery, and today, enough irritating things happened to me, that I was NOT going to go and have so,done change the battery for me. So I looked it up online, found what type and where I could get the battery, and then found your tutorial. I changed the damned thing myself! And from now on, I will be doing it myself. Thank you so much for this great video! I was a nurse for 35 years, and am a visual learner. I love that it was purely visual, without words, so I could focus on the steps you showed. Listening and trying to incorporate the info doesn’t always work for me. I can do it, but prefer visual. You provided this and I am so thankful.🎊🎉🥇🤩🤩🤩
Thanks! And thank you for not adding music like 99% of videos have. It’s too bad car manufacturers refuse to make these easy to open. I guess they’re trying to trick people into taking their keys to a dealer to pay $100 to replace a battery.
Yep, that music on a tutorial ruins it. Makes your brain work harder to focus, because both sides of your brain have to work and mentally focusing on a task you’ve never done, and having music added, is a big bog mess. You miss the visual Information. Music is better applied when you know your task already, and don’t need to focus all your mental power on it.
Initially, I was a little concerned when I saw you working with a plastic knife as a tool. However, it is a very clever solution for this application. Short video, straight to the point, and made the repair very easy! Thank you for posting
Perfect! Thank you. Such a simple task is such a nightmare when you’re in the grocery store and you’re trying to open the fob to find out what battery you need to replace
Absolutely perfect! Worked like a charm. Thanks! (I used a wide flat screwdriver.) And to those reading this, just be gentle. use just enough force to loosen things....
Thank you! If only my husband have watched your video before messing up my key fob case. I was able to easily change battery watching a tutorial. You rock!
Thanks a lot...my car just couldn't start...Got so desperate and had to call the dealer.He told me to push the remote onto the ignition.He advised to change the remote battery immediately. Passsed by checkers..got the battery and now the issue was how to go about it.Came across this video...its straight to the point!Thanks a lotttt!
i think my fob is dying, car just had trouble reading it, i didnt know opening the remote was this simple, and a CR2025 isnt too hard to find, thanks dude.
@@ATseng yeah man, that morning i had to get some groceries, found a 2025 battery at the store, changed it in my car, used the edge of my house key to open it.
You should make an instructional video on how to make instructional videos for those who insist on rambling for 5 mins before getting to the point and then rushing through the part that matters.
Great video. That you have more than a half million views suggests Mazda f***ed up in omitting the simplicity of opening the fob case in their owner's manual. Ridiculous. Thanks man.
@@ATseng Guess what I discovered? The CX-5 owner's manual DOES cover battery replacement, however, it's in the later maintenance section of the manual, and not at the front end where they show you how to use the fob. The later section showing how to replace the battery is something you have to discover on your own because it is shamefully NOT referenced in the index. Silly Mazda.
never had a key fob before and just assumed i needed to buy a new one when it died... this vid made me feel like an idiot but also saved me like $100 💀
Thanks, but after removing the key, when I tried start the case opening by kicking the sidewall to the side, it snapped off. So I don't recommend that lateral forced movement - just get a thin, strong metal tool to pry open (letter opener, small screwdriver, etc.).
Thanks for the video - that key fob shell/case looks to be aftermarket. If so how did you insert the chrome logo - snap it in or use a bit of super glue to prevent it from falling out?
Amazing. Short and to the point. Didnt spend the first 2 minutes rambling about pointless introductions
Totally Agree. If people start with too much waffle (endless chatter) I just stop and go elsewhere. They can do all the waffle at the end and not the start.
Amen

I’ve just fitted a CR2032 battery and it’s working fine. Thanks for the tip!
Yup, 2032 works fine. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store
Thank you!
Thanks, it worked great for me as well. It's a little bit tighter of a fit but seems to work just fine!
yup same here, works like a charm
92 people did not like this video???? WHY?,WHY? this was perfect for me !! to the point!! Thanks!!!
This is TH-cam don't worry about it. Video only good to you when it helps if not give me a thumbs down no problem
Whoever made this video should get a Presidential Medal of Honor. Simple, and to the point.

This was a great tutorial. I love that you just did the actions without any verbiage. Perfect. Thanks for making this.
eng is not that good so. skip all the blablabbla :-)
and no loud obnosious music. very well done...thanks
Yes agreed, no annoying music and blabbing on about BS.. we all know why we came to this video 😂
Me too! I had to change my batteries and I’m more visual. Thank you
I agree. Just changed my battery using this tutorial and did it in seconds. Most videos last 3-5 minutes and they could easily be cut in half.

Glad it helped!
Absolutely perfect! Worked like a charm. Thanks! (I used a wide flat screwdriver.) And to those reading this, just be gentle. use just enough force to loosen things....
Excellent!
Changed it in 3 minutes. I couldn’t take it ANYMORE but I can’t afford to go to the dealer. I appreciate you for saving me/us money!
You are welcome
Perfect. No needless commentary, no "now I'm going to show you how to change the battery in...". Thanks.
Glad you liked it!

Man you saved my days! This is embarrassing to stand in front of the car but it doesn't let me in... finally it's solved by your tutorial!
You're welcome!
Great tutorial. Exactly what i needed. Right to the point.
Fantastic. Just done mine quick and easy. In fact, it took me longer to get the new battery out of its packaging than to put it in the fob.
good to see it working for you
Thanks! Always helpful to see just how it's done before I mess things up!
Glad to help!
I come back to this video every year when I have to replace the battery. Wouldn’t remember with this! Thanks!

never had a key fob before and just assumed i needed to buy a new one when it died... this vid made me feel like an idiot but also saved me like $100 💀
You're welcome!
Thanks! If youre having issues with your fob aka low battery and car won't start if you hold the fob to the ignition directly car will start up!
Great point!
To the point without the usual useless talking, etc. Thank you
Thanks for the view
Would the memory erase after you change the battery?
Appreciate the lesson Mr. Tseng👏🏿👏🏿🥰
Sent the love to you from a Taiwanese
Omg!! Thank you so much!👍
You’re welcome 😊

Great and easy to follow... Thanks !!

This is the original fob from Mazda
