yes it is a simple battery replacement...about $6 for battery. separate removable section with small screw driver blade or coin. shouldn't have any coding problem.

Default it's covered in the owners manual IIRC...
the top half section should separate and the battery should be in there on the side with the buttons(lock, unlock, etc).

Default Well...
you got it apart correctly, right? Find the battery w/o disturbing the little PC board. It's gonna be a little disc shaped battery.
