How do you open a Mazda RX-8 Smart Card (Keyless Entry) without breaking it to change the battery?

I have a keyless start and entry for my 2006 RX-8 and my Smart Card's battery is failing. However I am not someone with a lot of fitness and fear breaking the thing to see what battery it has to replace it.



So I was wondering if their was some trick to opening it up or guide so I can go about it without breaking it apart.

Remove your aux key from the base of the card

The battery is in the lower corner of the main card. The battery cover is actually the sidewall in the outer corner. With a paper clip or very small screwdriver, poke into the vertical side of the key near the bottom to remove the battery cover. It doesn't take much pressure to get it started. and don't force it. Once you have removed the cover the battery will slide out with a little shake.



The trick is the clip is shaped like a right angle and clips at both ends. To remove get the bottom one started, then wiggle to the side to remove the side without stressing or breaking the cover piece.
