Default but my car is about 200 miles out of warantee. i'm afraid they'd charge me some crazy amount, when

it is something i could just change on my own if i knew where to order the battery.

Default It's gotta be a standard battery...

have you even tried Radio Shack? They probably have 50 of them on the shelf.

Default Battery Plus... They won't swap it for you, but you can get it there. Also you'll need to (inside)

You'll need to reprogram the remote to the car.. It's not hard to do. There's a write on how to do it.

Default No reprogram required when batteries are swapped...

It's a common watch/calculator battery, Radio Shack or a drug store should have it.
