Hold the remote under your chin(touching it), and press the button on your remote.....be surprised how much the strength/range of the transmitter increases, using your body as a giant antenna....

It practically doubles it.

It could be just a coincidence that the battery in the remote is starting to get low.

I think your correct. Chin thing did nothing. I wonder if they use an available battery inside the key fobs?

The battery is readily available in local Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreen's, etc.
Separate the two halves..make a note of the position/side of the battery before removing......be very careful of the electrical contacts, they are fragile.....

The battery you will need depends on the remote, but the vast majority of GM remotes use either a 2032 or 2016 3V lithium ion watch battery.
