Replace battery Key FOB

Searched. No luck.
Any directions for replacing the battery on F56
2014 key FOB?
Pics would be helpful.
Thanks
Mrdi

Use the blade of the key to pry up the back of the fob, you will see an indent near where the blade fits into the fob. I don't recall what battery it uses.

You've probably heard this before... It would behoove you to read your owners manual.

In my 2015 Owners Manual it's on page 34. IIRC mine took a 2032 battery.

In case you have misplaced your manual, check pages 34 and 35.

Haven't heard that before Vets.
I have no Owner's Manual access, wife's car.
Your link has solved my problem though.
I appreciate your help.
I'm sure your link will solve the problems of other F56 owners as their FOB batteries expire.
The SEARCH menu will now show this Thread under:
"Replace battery Key FOB"

Battery replace instructions: Pages 34 and 35.
