    The original battery in my 2012 R-spec decided to take a crap last weekend. It didn't quit outright but failed to hold a charge over several days. Good thing too, because as it turns out these AGM H8's are not exactly plentiful (around here anyway). I had never looked in the spare...

    My fob's battery died the other day so I bought a couple new batteries and proceeded to YouTube to watch a video on the proper method to replace it. Unfortunately, I found one (by a dealer's service manager) which suggested using the key to split the case apart. DO NOT DO THAT! I managed to...
