I think the battery in the key of my Face lift 996 is getting low, does any one know what battery and how I go about changing it? TIA :?:

The pad splits in two, I used my finger nail to open it and the battery in mine is a CR2032. I bought a replacement from Homebase for a couple of quid.

These batteries are available,quality makes on E Bay for a fraction of that. The 2023 which my alarm uses & loads of other stuff in thee house.
I bought 10 for around 4 quid.

I have changed both keys and all is well. I think it has made the car a little faster!
