- You may want to consider adding a cover to protect your remote. The covers can protect the buttons and the key fob remote itself. Our recommendation would be to use Silicone Key Fob Cover for Infiniti provides protection for the keyless remote. A cover will better protect the key from water and in case you accidentally drop the key.

Comments
The battery on mine is a 2032.
The battery type is molded into the plastic and says 2032.
In many cases these battery types are interchangeable. The 2032 is just a little thicker than the 2025.
The 2025 has less power so use the 2032 if you can as it will last longer.
