Default Key Battery

Just the other week, the battery in my key fob started giving out. The manual says that the battery is a CR1632. However, I have gone to just about every retail store (e.g. Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, etc.) to try to look for this battery size but I can't find it anywhere. Now I have to pull the key out of my pocket to lock and unlock the doors and put the fob right next to the push start button just to start it. It's getting really annoying since I'm so used to leaving the key in my pocket. Has anybody changed their battery yet and do you know if their is an alternate size that is more commonly sold that would work? I stopped by the Lexus Dealership but the parts department was closed. The guy I asked said that Lexus usually has their own batteries? WTF? Is this true and how much do these run?

This happened to me some time ago. Lots of good information in the original thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=202623
