We will briefly go over the steps that will allow us to open the key remote and replace the battery of the Subaru Forester. First, let's take our remote in hand and start by extracting the physical key from inside it; then we will leverage the gap created to remove the back cover, thus accessing the battery compartment, as shown in the video.

At this point, we will install the new battery of the correct type (in this case, a CR 2032 3V); let's insert it in the correct orientation and check the functionality of the buttons, finally securing the plastic cover.
