Key Fob Battery

[Eric]

Any Grenadier owner know what battery is used in the key fob? I am about to get some spare 2032 and 2025 for my other cars, do I need something different for the Grenadier?

In am curious, I am in the process of changing key fob batteries ( wife's car low battery warning light came on in her car). Does the Grenadier have any warning of low key fob battery, or does the door lock remote just stop working? That can be a bugger, so is it just worth while for the cost of a battery just to replace it every twelve months.
The wife's is a smart key with door sensors so only last 12 months anyway

Hi Eric yes it does . I have had two occasions when the dashbaord tells me key fob battery low.
Both times I have ignored it for a day and it's gone away !

See I learned something new today! That’s actually good to know!

(So you just going to wait until the key fob dies on ya? I’m only picking! )

I've had the low battery warning come and go as well.

Mine is 12 months old, so if the light comes on, I'll change the battery, £2 isn't going to break the bank.

My car is 6 months old (build date) and the warning came on today. Part of me wants to ignore the warning like you do with so many others. But I will likely change it to be on the safe side. I have noticed that the fob buttons are easily depressed when in your pocket compared to other car keys I have had. Several times, I have set the car alarm of when emptying it because an item in my pocket is pressing against the fob buttons.

Oh I've set the alarm off many times (as I am sure many others have too) - it's too simple to do given the structure / location of the "button". I've now decided to start using the "button" as my house alarm when parked in the drive. Figure if I'm ever in trouble, if I hit it some one will eventually come to my "rescue" as it will be annoying them for sure. Who needs "Help I've fallen and can't get up" fob when you have a Grenadier.
Cheers!
