This video is a little generic (i.e. vlogger posted same video for multiple Honda models) but provides illustration on how to replace the fob battery if it dies. Reprogramming of the fob should not be needed since it never technically 'dies' (i.e. always has/sends a transponder signal).

CR 2032 is the right battery though?

Thanks for the video, Insightfully!
One can get a duracell cr2032 for less than the Maxell battery, I'm sure!

Ha, yes - you can get a 4-pack of these batteries on Amazon for the price of a single OEM one.

Got my first keyfob low battery warning earlier tonight. I took the battery from keyfob2 to replace keyfob1 since nobody else drives my Insight. Original battery lasted about 2 years.

Just curious... but why not just use key fob #2 directly instead of swapping battery?

I wanted to keep the second fob like new.
