Can confirm Keyless. But even they keyless models should have a keyslot for physical unlock.
OMG, do I feel dumb. The fob has a small latch on the back. I'd always thought that was the battery cover. After looking at the original video, I realize it was the release for the door key. Doh!

How about this one? I'm in the market for some wheels. What's a decent brand and size for stock suspension HB?
You can't go wrong with the Enkei tuning line. They're flow formed (strong, but light) and moderately priced. 18x8 or 18x8.5, +40 or +45 offset. Can't go wrong there. But honestly, you'll get a million opinions on wheels cause it's kind of subjective.

I have an uncle, who doesn't know how to do anything in his car, can't pair his phone, can't search for songs on his USB drive, which I also had to load for him, doesn't know how to scroll through the menus to check his oil life etc.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get so ticked and feel like if you can't do any of this easy stuff, v you shouldn't own a car. And yes, I've showed him a million times how to do this stuff.
It is stunning to me how many people are not mechanical or tech savvy in any way. What’s worrisome is that they seem to be completely oblivious to how vulnerable it makes them. Perhaps they will get weeded out of the gene pool.:D

I work in aviation at the literal intersection of mechanics and digital technology. A while back I was discussing cars with another pilot and mentioned that I had installed my PRL intake on my Si. He looked at me like I had grown another head. o_O

Vunerable is right, my uncle is the only person I know to of gotten viruses on Every computer he's ever had, about six, and that's cause Everytime he gets a virus, he lets his computer guy sell him a new one. Why even have one if you won't learn how to use it I say?

Since OP couldn't be bothered to include useful info the steps are:

1. Remove Valet Key
2. Slide Tip of Valet Key between the 2 plastic protrusions that are between the silver Valet Key Catch and the slot the Valet key physically slides into
3. Use Valet key to pry apart the 2 sides of the housing
4. Remove existing CR2032 battery
5. Install New CR2032 battery
6. Snap 2 halves of keyfob back together
7. Slide Valet Key back into keyfob.
Is the valet key basically just the metal "key" part?

yes the "valet key" is the term used to describe the key that you remove from the inside of the key fob. Although on these cars it's a misnomer as it's basically (from what I can find) just a manual unlock key for a dead battery or to roll the windows up from outside of the car.

My office was next to the Director of Marketing's office. One day, she walked into my office proclaiming loudly about a problem she was having. I told her I'd have someone come look at this-she insisted I help...her screen was filled with some crazy animal porn.

She was always clicking on links most would never think about clicking on. That would not be her first problem with the porn either....
