Replace the battery in a Kia key fob
We have added a video to our YouTube channel demonstrating how to replace the battery in a 2019 and later Kia key fob with a fresh one.
The mechanical key comes in handy to remove the back of the key fob, and we also use a very small screwdriver to help with removing the battery.
Like so many fobs, this one uses a CR 2032 battery (right).
You can see the new video on our YouTube channel here, or on our Kia page, which now has 18 videos, including those for Hyundai and Genesis, which are begging to be separated out, here.
