battery inside the RemoteKey!!

Hi guys,
I went on a trip for 2 weeks and when I came back and turned on the car, I see a battery sign with a key symbol. I am assuming it saying something about the key and the battery needs to be changed. Please see the picture attached for better idea of what I am referring to.
Can some help me fix this? Like where to get the battery and how to replace it.
thanks in advance

It means the battery in the keyfob is low, but not dead yet. You can still use the keyfob with a low battery and even start the car if it's dead. Its easy to change the battery, it's like a small watch battery. You can get a new one at your nearest nissan or infiniti parts dept. It's about $5 and they can change it for you.

You can buy the battery and replace yourself without trip to dealer. Battery is CR2032 battery, small round like a watch battery. You can buy at radioshack and other electronic stores even home depot.

my keyfob battery warning started displaying a few months after i got my car... its been 2 years now and i havent had to plug in the keyfob to start the car... i dont feel that its that big of a deal to take into the dealer. maybe ill say something before my warranty expires though.

take your valet key out, get a small screw driver and pry sides apart at slots on top of the key, remove battery and put a new one in...

If you really need help and dealer won't do it for free, take it to RadioShack. Those guys will usually help you out.

Very easy to do, pick a bettery from radio shack or any other store. Do it your self literally takes 1 minute to do.
