The range is fine when the key works right...very far.

That is the DIY I used to swap the batteries, which I ordered from the link in said DIY. Lately, the key has started to work from time to time. It seems to be when it's cold, but could be a coincidence. The Battery that I bought was just a little different from the one that was stock. Does anyone have a link to an OEM Battery?
