Hello,
An indicator on my dashboard told me that my key fob battery was low. I purchased the 2017 Civic Sedan Touring new in December 2016. That would make the battery a little over two years old.
The battery in my CRV fob was still going strong after seven years.
What should be the life expectancy of the battery? I went to the dealer and it only cost five bucks and took five minutes for them to replace the battery – that was nice.
I have a feeling I'm pocket-pressing the buttons. Once, first thing in the morning, the rear passenger window was down. Once the trunk was open. I've seen the lights flash for no apparent reason.
I keep the keys in my pocket. Has anyone found a tightly fitting case? All the ones I have seen seem to be much too big – they are probably 5 times larger than the fob. A hard shell case that tightly fits the fob and protects the buttons from being accidentally pressed would be perfect.
