Changing battery on a car key-fob ought to be a straightforward process. However there are dire warnings that the device will lose pairing with the car and it will no longer be possible to automatically lock/unlock the doors, or worse still it won't be possible to disable the alarm.
So with trepidation and a massive amount of Googling this is the narrowed down list of instructions on how to deal with the battery change process.
It isn't clear which one of this selection of processes will be the actual one, so let's try them all just in case.
Fully prepared to do some sort of Strictly Come Dancing style co-ordinated door opening and closing, window upping and downing, pedal depressing and releasing, I make my way toward the car. Having taken the precaution of disarming the alarm in advance of this procedure I feel confident that if I fuck it up and have to do it one hundred and thirty seven times I won't be disturbing the neighbours as well as being a dancing fool.
Well, that was easy. The battery replacement went without hitch. The buttons all do as they are supposed, and none of the above instructions need to be carried out.
So. Are the instructions just some sort of elaborate practical joke, or have people really had to carry out this ridiculous performance. If so there really should be a better way, this is the 21st Century for goodness sake.
