Keyless Remote Entry
My keyless remote seems to need a new battery, as it is completely dead.
Guy at my local Subaru dealership said remote contains ~6 individual batteries and I would be better off buying a new remote for ~$70 rather than replacing batteries. Anyone know if there is a better (i.e., cheaper) way to go? Thanks. |

Better alternative is Radio Shack!
Buy a replacement battery (not batteries their). They sell a single cell 9V used for remote transmitters that fits perfectly and costs about $3.50 for two. Just replaced mine last week. I'll get you a part number later this evening.

I know. You're asking yourself, "if it normally takes that many button batteries that cost as much as the remote, how in the world could a single battery (that looks similar to a AAA cell) do the job?" I asked myself the same question, and was skeptical. I've had two remotes, for over two years. Both equipped with GP27A's and both are still going strong. After all, isn't our wealth of knowledge the reason you joined us here in the first place.

"Hey - dunno if somebody already posted this, but theres no need to get the OEM size batteries for the remote FOB, just pick up radio shack part number #23-279 - about $2 for 2 batteries, fits and works fine. Any local Rs should carry it, or just get it through their website."
