Where To Get A Battery For Key Fob?

[pmacFTO]

I have not been able to lock the car with the fob since yesterday so have been using the key - when I come back to the car I use the key again but I was also able to use the fob to de-immobilise the car but now it's just not working at all. I am at work and the car won't start as the immobiliser is enabled.

I HOPE that's all it is! Radio and lights etc are fine so the battery is not flat. Where do I get a replacement battery for an MY03 WRX key fob, apart from a main dealer of course! The wife is going to check to see if I got a spare key with the car but if not I am a bit stuck. To top it off the fob has a wee phillips screw in it but it's a bit worn and I was having problems removing it!! Grrr....

Any help appreciated

EDIT - just found out it's a CR1620 and judging by Ebay it's pretty common - will try the jewellers up the road.

Having the same problem with the G/F car at the moment.

Got a battery and replaced it but still not working - have to take it to the dealer to be reprogrammed due to the battery being totally flat.
