I replaced the battery in the Highlander’s key fob

After 2+ years, the battery in my key fob for our Toyota Highlander was running low. After a few too many warnings, I considered taking it to my Toyota dealership to replace it. However, you know it’s going to take too much time and a little too much money to have them replace a simple battery. I researched online, and found out it was extremely easy. You need to use the valet key to pry open the fob, then replace the battery, which can be found at your local Radio Shack. It was fairly easy, and the battery cost me about $5.00. Much better than driving all the way to the dealership!

    Thanks – that was helpful. I didn’t realize there was a key hiding in that thing all this time.
