How do I open an Acura’s key fob?

I just got a new Acura and it’s my first time using a key fob. I think the battery is on the fritz, so I want to take a look inside to check. Can you tell me how to open an Acura’s key fob?

How to open an
Acura’s
key fob depends on which kind of Acura key fob you have. With more recent Acura models, there are two main kinds: an Acura Smart Key and an Acura Keyless Remote.
To open an Acura Smart Key, you first need to release the physical key from the key fob. You can do this by pressing the small metal button or tab in the upper corner of the fob. With the metal key in hand, reinsert it back into the slot you just popped it out of and use it to pry open the fob.
Opening an Acura Keyless Remote follows a nearly identical process, but instead of using the metal key to pry open the fob, you need to use a flathead screwdriver.
While they may be more high tech, opening your Acura’s key fob isn’t rocket science. But, while it does take a little elbow grease to get it open, make sure to use gentle force so you don’t wind up breaking your fob.
