    When I went to lock the doors on my 2018 Spider this afternoon, I got no change in response to the key Fob, either locking or unlocking the doors. I assume the battery in Fob needs changing. Is this doable by the owner or does the dealer need to do this?

    There appears to be quite a few youtube videos on DIY. Note, I haven't had to replace mine (yet), so unsure which one is best.

    Yeah. Easy-peasy in the fob!

    It’s a quick do it yourself swap. The manual shows you how. Be mindful, the plastic is a little soft when you pry apart the halves.

    Proactively replace the key fob battery yearly.
