How to Change the Battery in Your 2015 Subaru Key Fob

Is your 2015 Subaru key fob acting up? Before you schedule a service appointment, a simple battery replacement could be the solution. A dead key fob battery can lead to frustrating situations like not being able to unlock your car or even start the engine. This guide will walk you through the straightforward process of changing the battery in your 2015 Subaru key fob.

What You’ll Need to Change Your Subaru Key Fob Battery

You only need a few things to replace the battery in your 2015 Subaru key fob. Once you have these items, the replacement process will only take a few minutes. Gather the following:

• A new CR2032 battery (often used in watches and other small electronics)
• A small flat-head screwdriver
• Optional: A small tray or container (to keep track of the battery and key fob components)

Steps to Change the Battery in a 2015 Subaru Key Fob

Follow these steps to replace the battery in your key fob:

1. Locate the release button: Examine your Subaru key fob. You’ll find a small release button on the back. This button releases the physical key hidden inside.

2. Release the physical key: Press the release button and gently slide the physical key out of the fob.

3. Separate the key fob halves: With the physical key removed, you’ll notice a small notch or groove along the edge of the fob. Insert the tip of your flat-head screwdriver into this notch and gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart. Be careful not to use excessive force, as this could damage the fob.

4. Replace the battery: Inside the key fob, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Carefully remove the old battery and make note of its orientation. Insert the new battery, ensuring it matches the same positive (+) and negative (-) side orientation as the old one.

6. Test the key fob: Test all the buttons on your key fob (lock, unlock, panic) to ensure the new battery is working correctly.
