In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process of changing the smart key fob battery on a Honda Insight from 2019, 2020, and onwards.
To begin, flip the smart key over and locate a small arrow on the back side. Pull the arrow towards you to release the internal valet key. The battery change process is relatively straightforward due to the design of the key fob.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
- Insert the valet key into the split of the key fob and twist to separate it into two pieces.
- Once the key fob is open, you can access the CR2032 3V coin battery used for the Insight.
- Use the valet key to pop the old battery out from underneath the left side of the fob.
- When inserting the new battery, ensure the positive side with the lettering is facing towards you, and place it underneath the longer teeth first.
- Reassemble the key fob by putting its two pieces back together.
- Finally, reinsert the valet key and the battery replacement is complete.
Following these steps will help you effortlessly change the key fob battery on your Honda Insight smart key, keeping it functioning optimally.
