Replace battery in remote control

Hey, I've had my car for about a year and a half, and I guess I've been using 1 key too much because I have to replace the battery.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for the key and can I change it myself? Or do I need to bring my key into the dealer. It's not under warranty is it, doubt it..

You can do it yourself, everything is explained in the owner's manual

Radio Shack or The Source if you have them in Montreal.

The battery in the key will last longer. I believe the rechargeable battery is charged when it is in the ignition.
