There's no reason to go to the dealer or even pay that little guy at the watch repair place to put a new battery in your dead keyfob remote. Carmel didn't want to pay, and she took matters into her own hands. She even had enough spare time to send me a nice note about it:
Dear Matt, I wanted to thank you for the article on how to change the batteries in the mercedes remote! It worked perfectly.

Having saved a bunch of money, and having the satisfaction of fixing something herself, Carmel can spend her extra loot on something for herself -- like an exciting New Year's party hat!
