I bought like 5 of them off ebay for about $5.50 ... that's $1.10 each.
changing them yourself is easy, took like all of 5 min to do both key fobs. Just be careful when you're snapping it back together.

Take out the manual key, and wedge a tiny screw driver in the space where the manual key would have been. The fob should pop open with a little force.
