WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) On my not-so-smart key, there is a slot at one end at the top where you can put in a flat blade screwdriver or a small coin and twist. On other IKTs/IA, I have seen people pull out the actual/backup key to use the slot thus created for same procedure as above. From the OM: pg 130 or so in the 2011 To replace the battery:Integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT)1. Twist a thin coin in the slot near the key ring to remove the battery cover (1).Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the battery terminals on the back surface of the circuit board. 2. Carefully peel up the rubber gasket (2) from the transmitter if it does not come off with battery cover.3. Remove the old battery (3).Note: Please refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the instructions inside the IKT for the correct orientation of the battery. Press the battery down to ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery housing cavity.5. Snap the battery cover back onto the key. Intelligent access key (IA key)1. Remove the backup key from the transmitter, then twist a thin coin in the slot hidden behind the backup key slot to remove the battery cover.Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the battery terminals or on the back surface of the circuit board.2. Remove the old battery.Note: Please refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.3. Insert the new battery. Refer to the instructions inside the IA key for the correct orientation of the battery. Press the battery down to ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery housing cavity.4. Snap the battery cover back onto the transmitter and install the backup key.Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the IKT or IA key to become de-programmed from your vehicle. They should operate normally after battery replacement. Edited March 21, 2015 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
