key fob battery

e46revspeed · 04-24-2018, 05:58 PM

is there a way to change the battery on the key fob? my fob is getting ridiculous to lock and unlock the car. I have to basically stand right next to it to lock the door.

e46revspeed · 04-24-2018, 07:26 PM

as you can see...theres no notch or panel that look like it can be removed.

paris1 · 04-24-2018, 07:46 PM

Yep. Here's mine; the panel marked "2" is removable using the notch just over the tab/protrusion.

e46revspeed · 04-24-2018, 07:53 PM

You guys need to be talking about whether you have comfort access or not.

CA keys have a replaceable battery

Non CA keys charge in the ignition. If the battery is not holding a charge, then you need a new key or cut open the key and replace the rechargeable battery

e46revspeed · 04-25-2018, 07:47 PM

yeah,,,mine is doesnt have CA...guess I have to figure something out..thanks for the info.

paris1 · 04-25-2018, 08:13 PM

So on non-CA cars you have to inser the fob in the dash slot before punching the start button?

What is stupid? That there is a keyless start option that is different than the base model that requires inserting a key?
