Your the man. I have always complained about changing keyfob batteries. This fob is the mother of all. 😣😣 After watching your video, I love the fob now. Easy
Absolutely asinine that they didnt flip the design so that the battery was under the same panel that the key is under. You shouldn't need to remove 4 pieces to find the battery, and it sure shouldn't have been so complicated that it required me an internet search on how to do it.
You don’t need any tools to open this fob. You use the tab at then end of the emergency key to push the tab on the backplate in. It fits perfectly and pushes it enough to use your finger to pull the backplate off.
This new key fob seriously sucks. Mazda should just bring back the old key fob. Nice and small, easy to store, and doesn't feel nearly as hollow and cheap as the new fob.
So true. I just dropped my key fob and the entire thing totally fell apart. I cannot make it go back together. $33,000 for a nice car and then this flimsy key fob!
Not a bad video, but you didn’t actually show popping out the battery and replacing it As well, if you look at your manual, it tells you to wrap your screwdriver with some thin tape I use scotch tape because it’s very thin, but it still acts like an insulator And you know why? Because when prying out the battery you prevent accidentally shorting out and damaging your key fobs circuitry
This is a lousy design. Old fob was better and key extraction was a breeze. Plus after having a 2017 CX-9 with old fob never had issue of lift gate being inadvertently activated. 2021 CX-9 fob has opened lift gate multiple times scratching the paint against the garage door. I have seen this repeated on other CX-9's in parking lot. The utube instruction was invaluble.
Ah, the art of battery replacement: not as exciting as a car chase scene, I admit. 😄 But in the spirit of 'slow and steady wins the race,' I promise every second helps ensure you'll be back on the road, key fob in hand, without a hitch. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Who needs a Rubik's cube when you've got a Mazda Key Fob? lol 😵💫
Thank you! The instructions were very clear and doing it myself saved me tons of money. Good job!😀
A big arigato to Mike for solving the mystery for us in so patient and thorough a manner!

Truly appreciate this. Quick and easy fix to a very stressful situation when it’s dead lol. Thanks again.
But terrible design by Mazda/key maker. “Are you the key master?”

Thanks Mike just changed batteries on CX5 key fobs!
Nice job, you just saved me a ton of bucks. Thanks Mike
Thanks! Have a rental car while mine is in the shop and of course I got the warning that the battery is low. With some tweezers I got it fixed! 😊
Just bought a new key fob battery for my Miata x5 ‘23 and learned none of the local
Auto part shops on Maui have the scan tool to program it 😮😢😖😬
You don’t need any tools to open this fob. You use the tab at then end of the emergency key to push the tab on the backplate in. It fits perfectly and pushes it enough to use your finger to pull the backplate off.
Great video. Clear and understandable. Thank you!
Thank you. I wish this thing was smaller. Hope everyone know the 4 x press unlock and hold while all windows go down trick

Yes! That’s why I’m down to one fob! Same thing happened to me. I dropped it & it fell apart!
Please add how to fix the keyless entry. If it doesn’t work.
That's what I'm saying! I replaced the battery now it doesn't work.
when he says "you see this little tiny" he says to push in - put tool on top and push down and the area on the back side pops out slightly.
Truth. Tried it. It worked. Thank you
This was the HARDEST fob battery I’ve ever had to change! I had use a Phillips flat head cuz the “tool” was useless.
thanks for making this
Thanks for the help!!
One important part missing. How to get the battery out.
you pry it up with the "tool" lol
Yes! Exactly! Skipped right over it! 🤬
Mazda made this way too hard to change
"pretty advanced" @ 1:33 means "stupid design" good video though - thanks!
It's not a valet key .. is an emergency key to open the door only. It can't start the car!
Helpful video.
Thank you so very much.
Blessed, thank you!
Best video on this
Yo i did this and put a new battery but my car still says the battery is low?!
same problem
Did either of you have to reprogram your remote after changing the battery?
@@trestondudek5308 not in my case but i had the power saving mode on on the remote itself turned it off and it worked
@@httrms11 how do u turn it off and on?
@@elbener100 th-cam.com/video/7sO9Nud2Xr8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!!! Very helpful!!!
So did anyone figure out how to get the actual battery out? This “tool” is useless!
I took the top off by accident and can’t get it back on!!
I as a design engineer would have to call this an expensive fiddle fuck design …… 😅😅😅✌️✌️✌️🧐🧐🧐
Where do you get that tool?
Thank you
The "tool" appears to be a screwdriver.
Not a bad video, but you didn’t actually show popping out the battery and replacing it

I use scotch tape because it’s very thin, but it still acts like an insulator

Just open the damm thing
Dumb key fob design. Friend of mine at work has this and the cover doesn’t even snap back on to be flush. Has a nice gap on the side

Yeah but you forgot to show how to get the actual battery out!
