C5 key fob does it have a battery

Post by marco f1 »

hi all can any one tell me if the C5 key fobs have batterys inside them, and is it a wise to swop the keys around i.e.use the original for a couple of months then use the spare for a couple of months...... as some cars have a master key that you have to use every couple of months just to keep the cars ecu and imobiliser right

Yes, they do have a battery in them. Me personally i use the scabby remote with no symbols on the buttons whilst my spare sits in the drawer pristine and unused. Occasionally i will point the spare remote out of the window at the car to make sure it still works... :yes:
