How do I replace a Honda keyless remote battery?

I have a 2017 Honda Civic Si and it burns some serious rubber. As of late, however, the key fob is somewhat unresponsive. I’m fairly certain I just need to replace the battery. How can I replace a keyless remote battery on a Honda?

If you still have the original battery in your
Honda Civic Si
remote, count yourself lucky! Most key fob batteries fail after about three to four years, so it had a good run.
Thankfully, installing a fresh battery is easy. Just follow these simple steps to replace a Honda keyless remote battery:
  • Look for a small tab to push or pull on the back of the key fob where the Honda logo is located.
  • Slide the key out of the fob.
  • Use the key to pry the key fob apart.
  • Pry the battery out using a pen tip.
  • Replace the battery with a new CR2032 battery. You can buy one at a general store or pharmacy for about $2.
  • Repeat these steps in reverse order to put your key fob back together.
In just a few minutes, you’ll have a working key fob again! So why not take one more minute to save hundreds of dollars on car insurance by downloading the
