The cell in a 2008 flip key isn’t a 2032. It’s a rechargeable battery that’s soldered onto the board.

Apologies all. The key I have with the car is an after market key. Although I looked up the so called battery on EBAY. sorry not your link @dhallwork my own detective work ! I have just stripped the key and found a CR1632 inside not the EBAY solution. I have recently purchased the car, I will replace the battery and see how long it lasts. I need to buy a second key anyway...... Any suggestions? where to buy. I understand the OEM keys are quite expensive. |

BTW the battery is not soldered to the board on this one and there is a kill switch under the steering wheel which appears to disable the alarm .... thats on the delete mod list |

Thanks @dhalworth for the info on the Ebay link. I need a full new key although I have an original fob with no key stock. In fact I haven't opened that one.... it works... I need to think this through all...Anyone know where `i will get a key shaft cut?I will keep you posted on a solution. I now know someone who may know .... |

My 2008 Tdv8 key battery is induction charged via the ignition switch. Would yours be the same? John

The short answer is I don't know, hopefully. I will use the original board / battery and see if I have any more issues. Thanks for the info Willie 2008 TDV8 Santorini Black |

Make sure and only fit a Duracell battery to the key as others makes on my other car keys don’t seem to last.
