lolz this may sound funny to you but it works..my battery is 3 years old got it since i got the car and use the car everyday..longer range try putting your remote under your chin. then press ofcourse...i tested it and its 90 % accurate that it gives you more range... try it no joke.

just head over the radio shack... they have tons of different battery types, and they will probably open the thing up for you and install the battery right in front of you for free.

I do this sometimes when im trying to find my car in the parking lot it really amplifys the range. Something about turning your body into a human antenna booster.
