My former Mercedes E350 took a 2025 battery, but every car since takes a 2032. The only difference is the 2032 is slightly thicker than the 2025.
These fully wireless key systems seem to eat through batteries since they’re constantly searching for the vehicle. I think 2 years is pretty good for that. We had a Nissan they both remotes would die a week apart at about the 18 month mark and I almost never interacted with the car.The big question is, why did you have to replace a battery on a 2021? These should last a lot longer.
Yup, the ones for my wife's truck, hers lasted 3 years, mine is still going (she drives it more than I do).I usually get 2 to 3 years out of the fob batteries
We drive 30k/year on our 18 Tiguan(143k). Not sure if that effects keyless entry/start to only last one year/battery.
I wish Mazda hadn't made their fob so ridiculously bulky for 2020; it still uses a 2032 however the process of replacement requires pulling apart a lot of plastic, had to look up the process when I replaced the batteries in my fobs a few months ago.Same as mine. I also get alerts in the info screen. Takes the 2032

I'm sure I'll have to look it up again when they need replacing in another 12-18 months.
They still know how to make a timing chain thoughSince I suspect the thread has run its course....
Back in the day I always thought VW/Audi's approach of making you lock the driver's door from outside was actually pretty smart. Now, vacuum pdl's.....not so much.
