i know if the battery is dead you can hold the fob right up to the button and engage the push to start, the car should detect the fob and start. its in our manualGot the low battery message on mine on the way from an appointment this afternoon...suspiciously close to 2 years of ownership. 2 years, 15 days.
Anyone know how long the battery lasts 'til it won't start anymore? I'm not taking it down that far - just curious.
It's just a standard CR2032 (watch battery). Most CVSs and grocery stores should have them.Well, my low battery light just came on. And like everyone else, suspiciously close to my two year mark of ownership. Seems kind of short to me? This is the first car I’ve owned that used keyless entry. I’m gonna try to replace today. Not sure where I can find the battery.
On most cars they usually last 6 months before the range starts to rapidly decrease. $5 a year isn't bad IMO. Don't go to dealer, they'll try and tell you it's going to cost $100Well, my low battery light just came on. And like everyone else, suspiciously close to my two year mark of ownership.

I don’t think Panasonic batteries are particularly high end. You can get a 3-pack for $1.25 at the dollar store.The battery they put into the fobs is a Panasonic battery. I'm surprised it ran out so fast.
