Strada key battery low warning

My 2010 Fiat Strada with a gasoline engine (224733 km) shows a 'Key battery low' warning. Keyless access is dead, there's an error code, and the central locking is acting up. I'm guessing it's the key fob battery. Anyone else?

The 2010 Fiat Strada is displaying a 'Key battery low' warning, leading to issues with keyless access and central locking. The problem is likely due to a depleted key fob battery. A suggested solution is to have the battery replaced by a professional to avoid damaging the key, as it may require specific tools and expertise.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar experience with my 2016 Opel Corsa. 'Key battery low' warning appeared, then keyless entry died, and eventually, unlocking the car became a real chore. Could be the cold weather affecting the battery's performance, like squeezing the last bit of juice from a lemon.

Interesting analogy. Did you try fixing it yourself, or did you go straight to a professional? Was the replacement easy, or did it need special tools or programming?

I initially thought it might be a simple fix, like on my motorcycle. However, after struggling to open the key fob without damaging it, I decided to visit a workshop. Turned out the battery was a specific type, and they had the right tools to replace it and clear the error code. Less of a headache than potentially breaking the key.

Thanks for the insight. I'll be careful and see a technician about the battery. It ended up costing 37€, a small price to pay to not damage the key.
