2 Answers
The steps to replace the battery in an old BMW X5 remote are: 1. Use your left hand to press the square button at the top right corner of the key's back; 2. Use your right hand to pull out the mechanical key. There is a small square at the top right corner of the key's back that can be pressed down. Pry open the operation hole of the remote key to open the back cover; 3. Use tweezers to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the same model. Taking the 2021 BMW X5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4930mm, width 2004mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 2975mm, fuel tank capacity 83l. It is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine, with a maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm and a maximum torque speed of 1550 to 4500 rpm.
Replacing the battery for an older BMW X5 remote is actually quite easy. I've been driving this car for over ten years and often handle these tasks myself. There's a small notch or button on the back of the key—just use a coin or a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open. Inside, you'll find a coin cell battery, model CR2032, which you can buy for a few dollars at any supermarket. When removing the old battery, don't toss it carelessly. Make sure to insert the new battery with the positive side facing up, then firmly snap the cover back in place. I always test all the buttons after replacing the battery to ensure the lock and unlock functions work properly. Over time, as the battery ages, the remote may stop working, especially in cold weather, so replacing it periodically saves both money and hassle. Beginners should be careful not to pry too hard, as the casing is brittle and can crack. Basic household tools are all you need, and the whole process usually takes just two or three minutes. If you really can't manage it, you can always seek help at an auto repair shop.
