Nissan Key Fob Replacement
Modern Nissan vehicles offer a wide array of features to keep drivers safe. One of those features is the key fob. If you find that your Nissan key fob isn't operating well, then it most likely requires an upgrade to the battery.
It is simple to change the Nissan key fob's battery. It's all you need is an ordinary screwdriver.
Reprograming
The key fob is among the most important parts of any vehicle. The small remote lets car owners access their car's locks and keys and start it from some distance. However, just like any other gadget it will have occasional issues. In some instances, the problem can be resolved by reprogramming your key fob to recognizes your car. It is not as difficult as it may appear, and most Nissan drivers are able to do it themselves.
To begin to begin, the owner needs to remove the mechanical key from the slot on the front of the fob. This is a safety measure to prevent someone from accidently starting the car while they are close to it. When the key is removed the notch will appear on the top of the fob which can be turned using a screwdriver to split from the two parts of the fob. The old battery must be removed and replaced with an alternative one. Make sure to use a CR2025 battery, since this is the one commonly used in Nissan key fobs.
Once the new battery is installed, it's an excellent idea to test the key fob by standing away from the vehicle and pressing any buttons. If the car responds in a certain manner, for example, flashing its lights or announcing that it is ready to go the reprogramming process has been successful.
Replacement
Modern key fobs are a handy way to unlock your car doors or to start it up. Like any other gadget they have a limited life. It may be time to replace the battery in your Nissan Intelligent Key remote if it begins to act up.

This will open the back portion of the fob, revealing a hidden mechanical key inside. You'll need to take out this key prior to proceeding with the battery replacement.
Then, find an opening on the top of the fob and use the screwdriver's flat-headed head to turn it. This will split the casing of the fob into two pieces, allowing you to take out the old battery. Note the position of the old battery. You'll need to position the new one at the same location to ensure that the fob is functioning correctly. After putting in the new battery, snap the two halves of your Nissan Intelligent Key back together and test it out to determine if it functions as you expect it to.
