Nissan Key Fob Replacement
Modern Nissan cars come with a vast variety of features that help keep drivers safe. One of these features is the key fob. If you notice that your Nissan key fob isn't operating well, then it most likely needs an upgrade to the battery.
Changing the battery on a Nissan key fob battery is a simple. You will only need an ordinary screwdriver.
Reprograming
The key fob is one of the most important parts of any vehicle. This tiny remote allows car owners to lock and unlock their vehicles, as well as to start from the distance. Like any other gadget it can experience issues. In some cases, the problem can be solved by reprogramming the key fob to recognizes the vehicle. This isn't as complicated as it may seem, and it's something that the majority of Nissan drivers can accomplish on their own.
The owner should first take off the mechanical key from the slot located at the front of the key fob. This is a security feature to prevent anyone from not noticing that the engine is running when they are close to the vehicle. After the key is removed from the top of your fob will have an notch that can be made with a screwdriver in order to split the two halves. Then, the old battery must be removed and replaced with a new one. Make sure to make use of the CR2025 battery, as it is the one that is used in Nissan key fobs.
It is a good idea, once the new battery has been installed, to test the keyfob using any buttons while away from the vehicle. Reprogramming is successful when the car responds by flashing its lights or announcing it's ready for start.
Replacement
Modern key fobs allow you to start your car or unlock the doors. Like any other gadget they are not long-lasting.

This will open up the back of the fob and reveal the hidden mechanical key within. You'll have to take this key out before continuing with the fob battery replacement.
Then, using a flat-headed screwscrewdriver, turn the notch at the top of your fob. This will split the fob's casing into two pieces, allowing you to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure you note the location of the old battery since you'll need to place the new one in the same place to ensure that your fob operates correctly. After you've installed the new battery clip back the two halves of the Nissan Intelligent Key and test to determine if your fob works as was expected.
