If the key fob on your ORA Funky Cat (2022–2024) has gone weak or the locking has become intermittent, the coin cell inside is almost certainly flat. It’s a quick swap.
Battery First — What You Need
- A coin cell — typically a CR2032 (check the marking on the old one when you open the fob).
- A small flat screwdriver (tape the tip to avoid marking the fob).
Replacing the Cell
- Push and hold the release knob and pull out the mechanical key.
- Insert a screwdriver in the slot (protect sharp edges with tape) and remove the button-cell cover.
- Remove the old cell — don’t touch the terminals.
- Fit the new cell with the positive side facing up.
- Refit the cover and check the remote locks and unlocks the car.
Lost Key or Adding a Spare
A cell swap keeps the existing coding. A lost or broken key can only be ordered and programmed by a dealer — there’s no owner sequence.
If a Fresh Cell Doesn’t Help
- Check the orientation — the positive side faces up.
- Use the mechanical blade to unlock the door in the meantime.
- Still intermittent? A receiver fault can store a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What battery does the ORA Funky Cat key use?
A coin cell, typically a CR2032 — confirm against the old one; fit it positive-side up.
Do I need to reprogram the key after the swap?
No — the coding is retained for a battery change.
Can I program a new key myself?
No — a replacement must be ordered and coded by a dealer.
How do I open the fob?
Hold the release knob, pull out the mechanical key, then prise off the cell cover.
If the fob stopped working after a 12 V issue, decode any stored code on autodtcs.com.
