That was my job for about a year.. local company refurbishes and manufactures key fobs and remotes.. now I supervise the department that makes aftermarket versions of the keys/remotes..!
Thanks for posting this. Once you take that screw out it is not that complicated as it might seem. What they messed up is that little screw that is so difficult to open as it gets stuck due being unopened for years. I think in later model they got rid of that but it is really stupid design for just changing the battery. I really struggled with that stupid little screw--So Screw you Honda!!
oh man, you're so right! hahahaha i see what you did there! i think they did it this way so you'd need to go back to them so they can charge you a replacement fee LOL
when you try unlocking or locking and nothing happens... or when you press either button and the red indicator light doesn't light up actually when it takes longer than usual for the car to respond to locking or unlocking, then you might want to change the battery. you don't want to be caught in the middle of the night, in a deserted place with a dead battery key fob right?
well, i think they don't want you to replace it on your own... they want you to bring it to the dealership so they can charge you a ridiculous amount just to change the battery...

How do u know when to replace?
Does low battery cause the door locks to go on n off repeated during drive??

Ah yes, my favourite transformer
hahaha :-)
TQ
Hi Sir, is it must be 1616 type of battery ?
yes, or equivalent, coz some batteries have different name or code designation depending on which country or region you buy it from
@@chefatron well noted, thank you very much. God bless
How do you replace the whole case ?? Mine has worn off
oh sorry, I don't know
🔑 🗝
You'd think they'd make it easier to replace than to completely taking it apart.

@@chefatron Yeah, You sure showed them!
Thats not the original CRV fob!
it's the fob we have for our 2013 Honda CRV
note to self: CR1616 battery

too complicated of a transformation for me :-)
hahaha
