2000 Es300 Integrated Key

[DobieG]

Hello..

My friend has an integrated key for a 2000 ES300. Does anyone know what type of battery it takes? I don't have the key in front of me, otherwise I would do the obvious...open it up and look. :P

I want to have the battery handy so I can change it for her the next time I see her. I'm assuming that all I have to do is unscrew the tiny screw, pop in the new battery, then tighten the screw. If there's any other info I may need to know, please let me know.

Thanks!

my key has a CR1616 3v lithium battery in it.

Dobie, I don't know if the 2002 and 2000 keys are the same. Mine is the fat head key that has the 3 buttons integrated in to it.

I have a fat head key for my 1996 es300. I have needed to replace the battery twice. Both times I had the dealer parts department do it. One time I wasn't charged anything; the other time I was charged something like $5. It was convenient to just have them do it.
