I think next time i order from sewell i will stock up on some batterys and store them in the car. I got a quick question:
When the fob dies, i know you have to use the metal key to get into the car but i cant turn the metal key in the hole under the door. ANY special trick?

What about this one:
Energizer CR1632 3 Volt Lithium Coin Battery pack of 5
Energizer CR1632 3 Volt Lithium Coin Battery pack of 5
The Energizer version has the "E" in front of it as shown here:

It's the same right? They have it labeled as "ECR1632" on the package.
At this rate, we should change our batteries every year.

Hi all,
I have 2007 IS250 and key was working perfectly until this morning. I saw a low battery alert while driving last week, so searched on CL to find out how to change battery. I ordered the batteries on ebay and waiting to receive them. I pop open the cover of the remote using the mechanical key a few nights ago just to learn how to open it when battery arrives, but when I tried using my key this morning to unlock the door it's not responding. There's a red light that comes on when i press the remote so still a little juice left in the remote but not sure if maybe not enough to unlock the doors? Would changing the battery fix the issue? Has anyone experienced this? Just hope I don't have to re-program this thing. I only have one remote.
Update: Okay I just replaced the battery and remote is still not responding. Cannot unlock door or anything.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

My story about the a dead key fob happened when I picked up my 2007 IS 250 AWD from Carmax, I tested the key fobs when I got home and noticed one was dead through testing the keys (no red light, but was able to unlock and start it with the key and dead fob). So I took the dead fob back to Carmax and they were able to give me a new battery (for free) as I already disassembled the fob and they put the new battery in and it worked.
