Ping Mr Cheerful

Wife drives a 2005 Nissan Micra K12. Don't laugh, it's done 50k miles, looks and drives like new, passes every MOT and has yet to let her down. However, I'm getting a bit pissed off changing the battery in the key fobs. The ones from Maplin seem to last as long as the Pound Shops do, about 6 months. Inside the fob is stamped CR2016 for a replacement battery, I've been replacing with such. The owners manual recommends this battery for "type A key", which is her key. Two buttons. The manual recommends CR2032 for "type B key" which is three buttons. A bloke on some Nissan forum says that the CR2032 fits and works. It is very slightly fatter. They are both 3 volts. Can I do any damage by using a CR2032 if it does indeed fit? Thanks.

It certainly varies from place to place. But not sure what is swamping the signal.

I guessed you would have, but . . .
