Types of Batteries Used in the INFINITI Key Fob

Before you begin the replacement process, it is essential to ensure that you have the correct replacement battery. Your Fob type determines the type of battery that you need. If you are using an INFINITI Key Fob, use a CR2032 battery. If you are using INFINITI Intelligent key, on the other hand, you require CR2032 battery. You can consult our dealership to ensure that you have the right battery type for your vehicle.

The Replacement Procedure

At the back of your key fob, you will find a release tab. Press it to release the metal part of the key.
Open the small panel that is located underneath the metal key to find the fob battery housing. You can cover your screwdriver covered in a small amount of tape at the end to prevent scratching or damaging the key as you do this.
Replace the worn-out battery with a new one, ensuring that it is correct, as described above.
After successfully completing this process, reattach the metal panel that you removed earlier on and mount the metal key back to the release tab.
Your key is ready!
