How to Take a Key FOB Apart for a Nissan Primera
Remote Key FOBs come standard with most late-model Nissan Primeras. These are remote keychains that can open the doors of your Primera or even start its engine with the push of a button. This is easy and convenient, but problems can arise if the key FOB becomes damaged or the battery dies. You can always order a replacement key FOB online or get a new one from your Nissan dealer, but it may be easier to take it apart yourself. And the only real challenge to taking apart the key FOB is removing the two halves of the key fob case.
