How to replace the key battery

I'm sure that the answer is posted somewhere, but I' have been searching and can't seem to find it.

Does anyone know how to open the switchblade key to replace the battery?

Many thanks!

the key pulls apart into two peices, the remote and the switchblade key part. after you ger them apart, the remote just prys apart and the battery will be right there.

Sorry about the fuzzy first photo...

You basically pull your fingers apart while putting gentle pressure on the fob.

Pay attention to how you take it apart. I do not have a reassembly how-to
