OEM Key Fob

[Mannheim62]

Hello again,

I'm sorry if this subject has been posted already but I couldn't find it. I have a 2004 4Runner SR5 V-8. I have 2 OEM Key Fobs that came with the truck when I bought it new from the Toyota dealership. Both key fobs have stopped working and I believe it's the batteries that need replacing. My questions are as follows:
1. What battery size do the key fobs take?
2. Once I replace the batteries, do I need to reprogram both key fobs even though they are OEM's and not after market?
3. If so, how the heck do I do it? :redface:

Thank you yet again for your help,
Mike

No you won't have to reprogram.

Thanks Matt, that's going to be at the top of my "things to do list" in the morning.

No problem! Hope that's the needed fix.

FYI!!! It is a 2016 that you need the 2032 is too big, I just changed mine. My wife has an 06' Matrix and it is a 2032, I have an 04' 4Runner. No programming will be required.

I just wanted to say thanks again Matt. I changed the battery in my key fob and it works great. Mike

Was it a 2032 or 2016?

Was it a 2032 or 2016?

I believe it's a 2016 (which fyi is the same for all toyota keyfobs of around the same year).

That's what I thought because that is what mine is, just didn't know if some had something different.
