What You'll Need

  • The keyfob itself
  • Small flat screwdriver or coin
  • New CR2032 battery

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Remove the emergency blade

Press the release slider and slide out the metal blade from the keyfob.

2

Find the case seam

Look at the edge of the keyfob for a thin gap where the two halves meet. The gap is usually most accessible near the blade slot.

3

Open the keyfob

Insert a small flat screwdriver or coin into the gap and twist to gently separate the two halves. Take care not to break the plastic clips.

4

Remove the old battery

Lift out the CR2032 battery carefully. Note which way the + side was facing before removal.

5

Insert the new battery

Place the new CR2032 battery in with the + (positive) side facing UP. Press gently until it sits flat.

6

Reassemble the keyfob

Press both halves back together around the seam until all clips engage. Ensure no gaps remain.

7

Reinsert the blade and test

Slide the emergency blade back in and press any button to test.

Pro Tip

Discovery 4 keys sometimes need the car's central locking to be manually operated once after a battery replacement to re-sync the remote frequency.

Key Still Not Working?

If a fresh battery doesn't fix the issue, the problem is likely the vehicle's KVM module, a de-synced transponder, or a faulty key — not the battery. We diagnose and fix this on-site, same day.
