Batteries for C43 key

[angus falconer]

The signal from my '99 C43 key is getting very weak.

Is it easy to open the key up? If so how? (I can't see an obvious way to do this)

Are the batteries mainstream ones?

Thanks

Hi Angus, is there a slot for a coin in the end

Hi Angus, is there a slot for a coin in the end

Thanks Malcolm

I am struggling to see the slot - which end - pointy end?

Hi,
The slot is at the wide end of the key if you look in the slot where the key blade slides in you will see it.
If your key is a newer style as my spare is its a bit different to release the key tray.
The batteries are CR2025's if i remember correctly.
My key is the same style as this one,

Hope this has been of some help.

Turns out you were correct - but I bottled it and wandered down to BSG and they did it for me.

As I have lost my other key (I blame my 3 year old.....) I didn't want to risk bu**ering this one up as well.
