Battery DL2032, round normal battery like the CR2032. Just prise the fob apart, but sounds like you have already done this.

Thank you.Will the fob need reprogramming after new batteries fitted?

the fob on my 99 Daimler doesnt operate at all, even with a new battery. i unlock the door manually, then insert key into ignition before the alarm goes off. Is it a dealer replacement job, as it was with my 2001 Range Rover?
thanks

Hi Ian,
I have a 1999 xk8 and when I purchased it last year it was completely flat. I did not look at the fob for several months and when I did it had 2 * DL2016 piggy backing on top of each other. I put in the new DL2032 and it worked immediately. There is a procedure for setting the fob which I will do when I get another key/fob for my car.
