Changing the battery will not work, the key has to be reprogramed by the dealer.

the manual tells you how to change the battery and make the key work again, does this not work or something?

Try just replacing the battery, then sticking the key in the door and ignition to see if it works. If it hasnt been dead for a long time, you may not need to have it reprogrammed. This also depends on the year of the car too.

Default If you are still under warranty - dealer should replace it free
