    Does the key fob have a battery inside? I noticed that within the last week, my smart key fob isn't working correctly, hit & miss. It's almost like the battery is dying. Does it infact need a new battery? Help!:confused:

    Update: I downloaded John1701a user's guide, and I found great instructions inside there. I purchased the battery from Home Depot for under $4 bucks, and changed it last night. Good as new!
