Well, a lot of remotes don't have changeable batteries, they get recharged as you use it. So if yours can be changed by the dealer, then it means it is able to be changed. So you would have to look for some crack or seam in the case and follow it, if it is all sealed all around then it might not be possible to do it with finesse. The ones like the BMW keys, have one piece key bodies and the only way to do it is to cut through the body and change the battery then glue it together.

Do you know how to replace the batteries on the 3button keys?? I have a 3 button(front) key for my RX300 and they want 15.00 each to replace the batteries on 2 keys(30.00 total). Also is it true that you can only find the batteries for Lexus keys in the dealer?? The guy told me That I would not be able to got o radio shack or anywhere to find the battery to fit my Lexus keys..Is that true????

I cant seem to find a video for mine. Good job o this one :).

Very nice. Easy and it saves a few bucks. Also so much more convient.

It really p-ed me off when I took it to the dealer and they wanted $25 for a stupid battery change. As if they don't make enough money already. I figured there were a few others out there that needed it. I'm glad it helped all of you.

BRAVO!!! You have certainly saved me some money, and the hour long drive down to Lexus dealership to get a simple battery change! Now, does anyone know how to get a new smart key programmed on my 2006 LS430?? :o
