Alright, so I had to open a Mazda 3 key fob for battery replacement the other day. It’s kinda tricky, but here’s what I did. First, make sure you got all the right tools, like a tiny screwdriver. I used a flathead one. Slid it under the seam and gently pry it open. But don’t go all in, just enough to pop the cover.
Inside, you’ll find a couple of screws. Unscrew those but only halfway. And take care not to lose the tiny pieces inside. Once you have the back off, swap out the battery. Put it back together just like you took it apart. It took me a bit at first but worked on the second try. So, what tools do you have? Experiences like this make you wonder, am I missing something important?

Totally an unexpected yet fun little task—makes you feel like some DIY king!
