I was replacing the key fob batteries on my 2017, and found out that the 2032 battery does not go in all key fobs. The integrated key-head transmitter takes 2032 batteries, but the Intelligent access transmitter takes 2025 batteries. Consequently, I have been putting in the wrong replacement batteries, and maybe the reason it is so hard to reassemble the key fob is because the batteries are too thick.
So keep this in mind when it comes time for your next key fob battery replacement.
I found out that the batteries are different thickness from the link Are There Any Batteries Equivalent to the CR2025?:
Although there are no exact equivalent batteries to the CR2025, there are multiple batteries that may act as suitable substitutions. The CR2016 and CR2032 are exchangeable with the CR2025, but users must consider space limitations.
The CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032 cell batteries all have the same voltage. The diameter of each battery is the same, at 20 millimeters. However, the CR2016 is 1.6 millimeters thick, while the CR2032 is twice as thick, at 3.2 millimeters, (3.2mm= 0.1259843in). The CR2025 measures 2.5 millimeters, (2.5mm= 0.09842520in), in thickness. The size differences allow the CR2032 to hold more lithium-based chemicals and provide 240 milliamps. The CR2016 can hold up to 90 milliamps, while the CR2025 can hold up to 160 milliamps.
