You need a CR2025 battery, its a very common battery, i bought mine from Tesco's. You need to gently pry apart the fob case with a small/thin flat screwdriver (look for the notch on the side of the case), it comes aprt quite easily, and then its a just a case of slipping the old battery out and the new one back in...and clicking the case back together...simples ;D

Interesting.....I was thinking you had to have it changed at a dealer because you might need to program the fob to the Kipass. I thought it would be like a car fob, i.e. when you change your battery you have to turn the car ignition on to a certain position while pressing and holding a button on the fob etc.

If its as simple as has been described thats good news.

It is that simple.  ;D
Replace with a quality CR2025 (I used a Duracell) as the cheap crap ones are cheap and crap.
I first replaced with one from one of those poundshop multipacks.
Lasted all of 3 weeks.  >:(
