Key Fob Battery

It's been two years 2016 OR and I got a warning on my display that My key fob battery is low, Any one have to change one? Can I do it my self ??
Thanks Tom C.

 

Sure you can Tom. Look in your owners manual and it gives you step by step instructions. I would look it up for you but I'm feeling lazy on my 56th B-day.

 

Thanks !! I just did, Seems pretty straight forward !!!

 

You can do it!

 

I will have to omit, Not a big Fan of this Key Fob thing. Never had a key need a Battery Change lol

 

Yeah I don't care for it either. Think I'll trade down for a SR so I can just have a key.

 

On a side note, I wear my key fob on a lanyard. Keeps it from being accidentally pressed in my pocket. I use only one of my two key fobs (keep the second one in a drawer in case my wife needs it). My main key fob battery is over 2 years old and still going strong.

Take the key out of the fob. Where the key came out is a indentation where you can use the key like a screwdriver. open the case and you will have access to the battery.

 

Here is a video on changing a Camry key fob battery. Should be very similar to the Tacoma key fob.

Thanks for all the replies , All taking care of !! I keep one in the house and the other on a key ring that I can attach to my belt loop.

 

I like having a regular key in my Truck, not crazy about the Push Button Start.

 

If you are storing a spare keyfob, do deactivate it for longer battery life -hold down lock button and click unlock twice, the light will double flash twice and then turn off. To activate it, just push any button. This is also in manual somewhere.

 

Good advice here, ill certainly do this, when i get a new battery. Just got the warning that the battery is low, been 2 years and 1 month.

For those who have purchased the battery, where did you go and how much were they?

 

The CR2032 is easy to find at any Walmart or Lowe’s. A lot of remotes use them.

 

Thanks, I was bracing myself for an overpriced battery...but this is sounding positive...

 

Common battery. Just check that it is a 2032 not a 2016.

 

That's a nice KBar shifter!!!

 

yes sir, got it, thank you...also ordered the @AJT DESIGN fob and the @rrentrop vinyl stickers.... since I'm ripping it all apart.

 

Amazon, I got a mess of them for a fraction of the cost you pay at a regular store. All my fobs use the CR2032. Vette as well.

 

Super strange, got my truck in June and my keyfob is already dead
