How to change the battery of the BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 2, F25 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Key

In this video, we see how to change the battery of the remote control for the BMW X3: the same procedure is also valid for the X5. On the top of the remote control, we find a small button, which allows us to remove the physical key that we may need in case of emergency. In this way, we expose the division of the cover, so we pry it open: this allows us to see the battery, which is a common CR2032, that we will remove from its slot using a small screwdriver. We replace it, being careful with the polarity, and then put back the cover and the physical key, and the job is done.
