Hi,
The battery in my blue keyfob needs replacing but how do you get into it? tried prising it apart but no joy.

Our key does not have the 1/4 turn catch to retain the battery, but a little perseverance on You Tube found this.

Mine's not like that. The side with the Fiat badge on is in 2 halves and the piece without the badge pops off with a penknife or similar, no need to unscrew anything or take the badge off. Battery (CR2032) just slips in and out of the holder.

Thanks for the help, it was easier than I thought! I can now open and lock up marmite at 100 paces!
