My spare key won't remotely unlock the doors so I'm guessing the battery is dead. Do I need to go to Lexus for a new battery?

Nah, I recently got one from Wal-Mart for $4 for 2 pack. Can't remember the battery number off the top off my head though.

CR1616 is a very common battery. Walmart, online, most places that sell automotive parts will probably have a CR1616.

Edit: some places like Wal-Mart may have it in the jewelry department, not in automotive or electronics.

Lexus replaces mine for free, on the spot, installed, whenever it dies.
and I didn't even buy the car from that dealership.
