Default How do you open the Key Fob?

Did a search, couldn't come up with anything. I remember someone taking pics of this as they were installing their battery. Ordered my batteries and going to attempt to install myself. Hope its not to difficult!

There is a little notch that you use a screwdriver to twist it open. It's very easy.

Sorry, I don't have pics...

The notch is actually within the key fob when you remove the attached silver key out of the fob. I think a dime should fit though.

Everyone get out your key...
