Chris, the procedure is in the manual. It is really easy. Use the metal key to pry it open. Be careful not to break anything though.

I'm pretty sure it's right in your owner's manual. Eject the mechanical key, and you'll see a slot. Put the end of the key in that slot, and then twist to pry the two halves of the key fob apart.

Batteries age, and if you dont use them often they use to "die" faster
