DIY: How to Replace battery on a Chevy GM Car Remote Keyless Entry

DIY: How to Replace battery on a Chevy GM Car Remote

My Chevy Proximity car remote lasted about 20 months before running low on power and the proximity sensor did not open the doors immediately nor did it sense it after entering the car. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

You need to put the remote on the center storage bin at the designated spot  in order to power on the car and drive it. I drove it to Ikea and got new CR2032 batteries and switched it on the spot.  I will keep a spare in my car incase it runs out of energy but may buy a Maxell or Energizer cells http://amzn.to/2HnnKca .

Chevy Volt Vlog: Remote Not Detected – 38k miles 20 Months

Wow its been a total of 20 months and 38k miles of ownership!  My car remote FOB was running low on power and the proximity sensor did not open the doors immediately nor did it sense it after entering the car. You need to put the remote on the center storage bin at the designated spot  in order to power on the car and drive it. I drove it to Ikea and got new CR2032 batteries and switched it on the spot.  I will keep a spare in my car incase it runs out of energy but may buy a Maxell or Energizer cells http://amzn.to/2HnnKca .  I will post a how to video later on the Chevy Volt Vlog playlist.  Overall the car is good, I am looking at a Honda Clarity Plugin or Kia Niro Plugin as my next car so it should be fun test driving those cars.

Chevy Volt Vlog #58 – 36,000 MILE UPDATE

hey guys it’s been about several months since I made a Chevy Volt vlog update. overall the car has been great no major issues it’s been thirty-six thousand miles and over one and a half years of ownership. other than the coolant levels being a bit low. oil has been normal. the tires may need to be replaced probably in about 6 months or so the transmission Drive Unit seems to be a little dirty. the door makes low a noise after they replaced a door panel but it’s okay.

Chevy Volt Fitted Floor Liners are probably the most useful accessory i got for my Volt:

Anyways hope this helps! This is how I do it for entertainment, do so at your own risk or bring it to an auto repair shop. Thanks for watching.
