    Hello ALL

    Subject: 2021 4R/TRD-ORP

    A warning light just came on my dash saying that the battery in my key fob is running low. And says: "See your dealer for service" !!

    Is there a way to change out the battery in the key fob without taking it to the dealer ? Thanks for any help.

    From what I have seen about 1.5 to 2 years. Many variables can increase/decrease life.

    WOW !! The Battery in my key fob that I use on a regular basis has lasted over 4 years !! I have never had to use the spare key fob. But better change the battery in that one also.

    After nearly 4 years my "Battery Low" notification just came on. I found this video and in 30 Seconds I've got the key fob open and ready to replace the battery!

    This community, and particularly your contributions to it, are AMAZING!!!
    Thank You.
