Since I cannot remember to check the actual manual and my dead fob is in my house, does anyone have clue how to break open the fob to access it?

You can download a PDF of the 2023 manual here:


But here's what my 2025 manual says (without pics):

1. Remove the lower cover while
pressing the knob in the direction
of the arrow.
2. Press in the tab to unlock the upper
cover.
3. Insert a tape-wrapped flathead
screwdriver into the gap and slide
it.
4. Twist the flathead screwdriver and
remove the upper cover.
5. Remove the cap using the
tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver.
6. Remove the battery using the
tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver.
7. Insert a new battery into the key so
that the positive pole is facing up.
8. Install the cap.
9. Install the upper cover.
10.Attach the lower cover so that its
tabs are inserted into the slots of
the key.
