Another warm welcome to myG37.

All I get is a red x for your picture. What does the symbol look like?

Or you could just go to walmart and buy a two pack of CR2032 batteries for $3.99 and put it in yourself and save a trip to the dealership. I just did this. All you have to do is take the key out of the fob then get a kitchen knife and put the blade inbetween the two halves and it pops right open. Take out the battery put in a new one snap it back together and you are good togo.

I guess it just depends. Mine lasted about a year, but on the other hand my dad had an 05 m35 on a lease and his didnt start dieing until right before the lease was up back in November. Its not too big of a deal though get a two pack of batteries and it should be good for a year or two. Maybe more.
