Hi all-
I have an '08 Altima with the damn 'intelligent remote'. They gave me two of them with the car and one has a dead battery already. Can anyone tell me how to change the battery in the damn remote?
Thanks
Rick

Can't say for sure as I have an '04 but I would assume it's just a simply pry-open setup. Other electronics may have a small screw; this can even be hidden behind and FCC sticker or whatnot but after removing the screw it's usually just a matter of prying it open.

Hi-
Thanks for the advice. No screw under the sticker and (believe it or not) this is the first remote I have seen where prying is not obvious. It has to be one or the other....just don't know WHERE to pry...and how. Many have one end secured under a lip or slide....the other to pry on.
Anyone have any experience with the Intelligent (Smart) remote for the '07 - '08 Nissans?

yeah, just remove the key from the intelligent key case and pry it from there (I like using a coin that fits perfectly into the slot.) Gently work your way around the remote with your fingers until the remote is completly opened.

Thanks for your help. That worked. It just wasn't obvious to me. I used a small, sharp pocket knife to pry t the edge of where the key goes....not on the slot itself. It just came apart. Battery is a 2032 and the spare works great.
