2 Answers
To replace the battery in a Lamando key, follow these steps: 1. Eject the mechanical key from the key fob. 2. With the logo facing upwards, use a flathead screwdriver or a similar flat, hard tool to insert into the mechanical key slot. 3. Apply force to rotate the tool left and right to unscrew the plastic cover of the key. 4. Once the plastic back cover is pried open, you will see the battery inside. Remove the old battery, install the new one, and then reattach the plastic back cover. Note: After completing the battery replacement, test all the buttons on the key. If they all respond, it means the battery replacement was successful.
I've replaced the battery in my Lamando key several times, and it usually takes a CR2032 coin cell. The first step is to locate the small gap on the side of the key, then gently pry open the casing using a coin or plastic card—don't apply too much force to avoid scratching the key. Next, remove the old battery, ensuring the new one is inserted with the plus side facing up, and press it in firmly. Once done, reassemble the key and test the remote functions. If the key responds slowly or the light doesn't illuminate, it's a sign of low battery. Additionally, the battery typically lasts 1-2 years, so it's wise to keep a spare in the car to avoid issues during long trips. The whole process takes just 5 minutes, but avoid doing it in damp areas to prevent short circuits. Since the key casing is plastic, using a soft tool for prying is best to prevent damage to the components, which could cause the key to malfunction—super convenient, right?
