    Anyone know how ??? I can't tell how to get it apart and don't want to break
    it....Will it need re-programing after the battery is removed and replaced
    ??? Checked the Owners Manual with no luck....Thanks for any help....

    I opened my Hyundai Elantra key fob by gently inserting the edge of a sharp
    blade into side seam, the way you open some watches. Replacing the battery
    did not require reprogramming, however it did not make the fob more reliable
    either. My two wore out and unfortunately they are expensive to replace and
    program by the dealer.

    Thanks Victek...I'll give it a try....If it doesn't work any better we have
    a back up as I have never used mine...It is my wife's car so I've never used
    it..It is still new...LOL...

    It is still covered under the factory warranty 5 years or 60k so if
    your car has under 60k they will replace it for free and program it
    also. If past warranty you can try another battery in it first (go to
    any Radio Shack) and if that doesn't work you will have to go to the
    Dealer and order a new one.
