    hi all. thanks to these forums, i figured out why my smart key was acting up- the battery is dead (duh.) anyway, is there any place to get a replacement battery other than the dealer? or, if the only option is to go to the dealer, what do they charge to replace the battery? thanks in advance!

    I just replaced my '05 battery, 1 month shy of 5 years. I bought it at Pathmark. I had to ask the Pharmacist for it (are people eating the Lithium?). It was less than $5 for two.

    There are reports of dealers charging $100 to replace a fob battery. Sheesh.
