Anyone know how to open up the alarm fob to change the battery. It is somewhat clam like and i don't really want to bust it/cut one of my fingers off!

You tube has plenty of instruction on the key fob and that's different.

Cheers

edit. Done it with a stanley knife. I'd delete the post if i knew how!

Dead simple - just pull apart and have a replacement CR2032 handy.

Yep. Found the gap to open it moments after posting. Surprisingly easy, as I was thinking about going in length ways!

I had to change mine a few weeks ago, and it is easier than I thought. Just press on the little bit that has the outline on the wider end (not the end that has the ribs) and pull apart whilst still pressing down on that part. No tools should be needed, just a bit of strength. I did find a YouTube video that demonstrates it at the time, link below.
