Here’s how to change the battery in your New Generation Denso Made Subaru key FOB.
USE THE CHAPTERS TO SKIP TO THE PARTS YOU NEED.
I go into detail showing how to change the battery, how to avoid popping out the spring, how to put the spring back in, if you pop it off, and just about every other mistake, so you don’t make them, or can learn how to fix them.
NOTE:
In the video when I reference “up” and “down” and “top” and “bottom”, it is in relationship to how the keyfob hangs from the keyring. Swap the directions, if you are looking at your keyfob from the opposite direction.
