It was weird to find this thread today because my keyfob just died too. At first it was slow to unlock my car. And then I couldn't open the trunk with the push-button.

The small black one is the valet key. It won't open the trunk.

I am almost positive that I have used my valet key to open the trunk. I can't remember why, but it was a PITA.

I'm being super lazy since this thread is already alive and kicking. Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement keyfob batteries? Any brands that work better than others with these things?
