How-To: Replace Battery in Remote Key Fob

After being locked out of my vehicle, I had to replace the #2032 battery in my remote key fob.
So, I figured I would do a step-by-step video for those in need of a replacement too. Enjoy...

Use the handle of the key to open the case. You won't leave gouge marks like you can get with the screwdriver

Using the handle of the key places all of the pressure on a single part of the plastic case resulting in damage.
Gently running the wedge up the seam as shown in the video is a much safer alternative in my opinion.

I go with the owner's manual.
