CR2025 or CR2032 in a key fob?
The two cells have the same 20.00 mm diameter and 3.0 V, but a CR2032 is 3.20 mm thick and a CR2025 2.50 mm, a difference of 0.70 mm (datasheets). Below is the cell named for every Ford, Nissan and Subaru key we could check, each from the carmaker’s owner’s manual or Panasonic’s key fob finder, with the source on the row.

What this page doesn’t cover
- Whether a CR2025 works in a key built for a CR2032, or the other way round. None of the manuals or datasheets we cite says so; use the cell your key’s manual names.
- Model years and makes not listed. The key fob pages say which ones we couldn’t find a public source for.
- Replacement steps. Each row’s manual page has them.
- Where to buy. This site sells nothing and has no shop links.
