Default KEY FOB Battery

Hi, Can somebody tell me where the battery is in the key FOB? I pulled/slid the 2 sections of the FOB apart, but do not see where I need to pry to get to a battery. (This is my only key, so I'm a bit scared of killing it totally.) The half of the key with the the chain ring says a3/b5 on it, if that helps anybody.

Pull apart the top, where the Panic button is after you've removed the bottom.

Good Luck!

Does anybody have a pic on the glassampoule (hmm, correct?) with the chip?

Default THANK YOU ALL-KEY FOB Battery

WOW, that was really easy. I am sometimes afraid to force Audi parts/issues, ends up costing me big bucks.
