Or FOB that most of us now have to gain entry to our vehicles and starting the engine without using a key. The FOB does have a key in it if and when your battery in the FOB dies and you can't get into your vehicle using the FOB.
How about changing the battery in the FOB? Its expensive if you take your vehicle back to the dealer. They charge from 100 to 300 bucks to change the battery inside the FOB, just depending on the dealership. I have heard people complain when they took their vehicles back to the dealer when the FOB would not work about how much it cost them to get the FOB working again. Some evidently were told they got a new FOB but I doubt that the dealership more than likely just changed out the battery in the old one. We are getting robbed unless you can change the battery in the FOB yourself, which we just did this morning when my Wife's Nissan Rogue displayed low battery for the FOB she uses.
My Wife went online and found out how to change the battery in the FOB in a Nissan vehicle yourself. You can do so in no more than one minute if you know how its easy. The battery for both our 2019 Nissan vehicles uses the same battery in the FOB. We already had them on hand, its the same battery I use in my guitar tuners which is a Duracell 2032 it says on the package they are guaranteed for 10 years but who cares they are cheap compared to what a dealership will charge you to change the battery in your FOB or renew your FOB as some dealerships will tell you.
I have no idea if all the FOB transmitters for other vehicles are as easy to change the battery in as the Nissan vehicles but I would make a guess they are mostly similar in doing so. Anyway its worth a shot to save someone a pretty hefty piece of change by changing the battery yourself instead of being skinned by the dealership.
Pull your key out of the FOB and lay it aside. Look at the end of the FOB where you just removed the key and you will see two small slots on each side of it where you just removed the key. Take a small flat headed screwdriver insert it in the slot and gently turn the screwdriver clockwise. Do the same on the other side of the FOB. The case holding the battery will separate into two pieces, you will see the battery which is round resting in the slot that was made for it. Pop the old battery out then replace it with your new battery making sure it seats properly in its slot, snap the case back together replace your key back inside the FOB then make sure the FOB still operates as it should by unlocking your vehicle and making sure the engine will start.
That's all there is to replacing the battery in your FOB with a Nissan. Its good to know I just saved maybe up to 600 bucks by doing the battery change out myself. I wish I could make money like the car stealerships do.
You can Google the information on how to change your FOB battery they show you how to do so.
