Today's key fobs do far beyond just unlock and start your car. They can also control your sunroof and even the windows. And as such, they are expensive to replace if they are damaged or lost.
It's possible to replace your fob's battery yourself and save money. Here's how: Locate a notch on the fob's key and then insert your tool.
Battery
Modern key fobs are packed with functionality and convenience, but they require some care to ensure that they're functioning well. As time passes, the battery in your key fob will run out of power and need to be replaced. It's a sign that it's time to replace the battery if your car becomes more difficult to start or your buttons stop working.
It's easy to change the battery on your key fob. First put the key fob on a flat surface, and press the metal button until it pops open. Find the seam that joins the lid and base of the fob, and then use a small flat blade screwdriver (or sometimes, your fingernail) to pry the two halves apart gently.
Remove the clips that hold the battery. If your key fob has a slot to hold the battery, replace it with the new one, making sure you insert it in the correct plus and direction.
You'll require a CR2032 3V coin cell battery available in a lot of stores that sell batteries or on the internet. The battery is typically designed like a disc with the symbol of a plus and minus printed on it. When handling the battery, take care since it could leak when your hands are dirty. Leaks can damage the circuit board making it less likely to work properly in the future.
Programming
The key fob for your car today is more than an accessory for your vehicle. It's also an electronic remote control that can operate various systems. This includes adjusting the position of your mirror and seat as well as setting your climate control and radio preferences, as well as many others that are tailored to the driver's needs. These smart program mini key fob fobs can also be ruined by various factors. Sometimes replacing the battery can solve the issue but in some cases, reprogramming your key fob is needed.
Reprogramming a key fob doesn't require a lot of effort and can be done at the convenience at home or at work. Lock your vehicle and ensure that your mini keys are in the vehicle. Press and hold both "Unlock", "Lock", and "Unlock" buttons on your key fob at the same time until you hear the chime or the locks cycle. This process will reset the pairing connection between the key fob as well as your vehicle.
Remove the backup key made of metal from your fob. Place it in a safe place. Push the back cover toward the middle of the fob to lift it up a bit and then remove it. Replace the fob's lock with a new CR2032 battery, which you can buy from our Golden Valley parts section or at local hardware stores and at supermarkets in Minnetonka and St Louis Park.
Keyless Entry
Modern key fobs come with many benefits, from convenience to safety. The fob can be used to unlock the doors and trunk of your car by pressing a button which transmits radio frequency signals the receiver inside your vehicle. The system does not come without its disadvantages.
Certain thieves have designed devices that intercept signals from your key, and then duplicate them to be used as an "key" for opening and starting your vehicle. You can help protect yourself by putting your key fob in a shielded protection case (known as Faraday pouches) that limit the distance frequencies emitted from the fob's location. These pouches are available in most auto parts stores for less than PS10.
Some systems also permit you to unlock the car without pressing the button. As you approach the handle of the door, the vehicle will lock and unlock automatically the door if your keys are in its fob.
Key fobs also offer greater control for business owners and managers by allowing access to certain areas of your buildings to certain employees during designated shift times. By a single click you can revoke entry access to a lost employee or terminate them. This is a very useful tool for warehouses or any other buildings that require higher security levels.
Summoning

This is not a good thing particularly if you're driving in a snowstorm or rainstorm.
The Model 3's key fob has numerous other interesting features, like the capability to summon and auto-park the vehicle via a push of the button. The panic button is a neat feature. A driver can use it in a terrifying situation, like when a burglar is breaking into the home. This could scare off the criminal and help to alert neighbors, says an official Tesla spokesperson.
