($2.55 ea from NTUC, see picture)3. Time <5mins to changeLeft to rightA. Key Fob cover w/key; B. Key Fob cover; C. Electronics console battery holder ; D. console with buttons.E. top - screw; F. bottom - batterySteps.1. Unscrew the screw securing the fob (E)2. Pry open the Fob in two with a 5 cent coin using the indent (A + B)3. Take out the electronic console (C+D)4. Carefully pry open the 2 clasps holding the electronics console together. Taking care not to dislodge the rubber lining5. Use a small flat screw driver to gently pry out the battery (original was Panasonic)6. Replace the CR1616 with the new one with the positive end ( + ) facing down. Push it till click.7. Close the console by securing the 2 clasps.8. Test lock/unlock buttons and see if the LED light is lit. You can test to lock unlock your car if it's in range, it will work if properly done.9. Place console in the fob cover with key10.
