How to Open a Chery Car Key?
2 Answers
There are two screws on the back cover of the car key. Use a screwdriver to remove each screw separately. After opening the back cover, you will see the battery board. Remove the old battery and install the new one. Reattach the back cover and tighten the screws to complete the process.
I've disassembled Chery car keys quite a few times before, and the method is fairly simple but requires careful attention. Typically, the key casing uses a plastic snap-fit design. Start by locating a small gap near the key handle or ring loop—that's the easiest spot to pry open. Use a small flathead screwdriver or even the edge of a credit card, gently insert it into the gap and slowly lift. Be careful not to apply too much force, or the casing may crack or internal components could get damaged. Once opened, you'll see a small battery, like a CR2025 coin cell, along with the circuit board and antenna. When replacing the battery, remember not to reverse the polarity—it's best to take a photo of the original position before removing it. When reassembling, align all parts first, ensure the snaps are properly seated, then press firmly around the edges until you hear a click. The whole process should be done gently in a clean environment to avoid dust affecting performance. For more complex smart keys with additional small components, take extra care—if it's your first time, don't rush it.
