These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

have had a quick look, and they look like u pull the top off, what happens if i do this? are there bits that will fly out, will it effect the alarm system in any way.

POST 2Original post

Yes, you just unclip the top half of the key. Nothing should fly out. The battery is a CR-2032.

POST 4Original post

Having replaced the battery the remote may sometimes require resetting: Open the car with the other key. Insert the fob not working into ignition switch and turn it on, but not starting car, but just as you would to check oil. Once on, hit the "unlock door" button on fob in ignition switch. The key should now OK

POST 5Original post

I just took mine to Sutton OPC about £3 for the battery and they changed it for me while i was there FOC to make sure it didnt loose memory or anything!
