Key-Fob Battery FAQ
Compatibility comes before commitment.
Does a new battery fix every fob?+

Can changing a battery erase programming?+
Behaviour varies by system. The fob is assessed and handled carefully, but unrelated faults may remain.
What if the fob still fails?+
Further remote, programming or vehicle-side assessment may be required.
