Well, I change mine last nite by plying the remote open using a small flat screw driver..then went over to Guardian & watson to check for the replacement battery - cost $2.60/pc. Snapped the new battery back in and snapped back the remote cover...Violia...everything OK - works perfectly  :D

hi mikal,
do you mean the cr2025 batt?
I've checked and found not many shops or supermarket selling...you mean watsons and guradian have?
Then I'll go get one, because I've checked with TC and it costs a whopping $10.30 per piece :blink:

Not directly related to battery replacement, but on IKey still...

I lost my I-Key and the attached normal key today. Long story on how it got lost but well...

Anyone knows how much it cost and how long it takes for replacement?

Thanks.
