Default Key fob intermitent

Is there a battery in this thing? And how do I change it?

Got it replaced and very little help. But the next day the 12V battery bit the dust. After replacing the main battery a lot of strange things were "fixed". It seems the car will start and operate on a very, very weak battery but a lot of lesser circuits depend on a healthy battery. So if you start having gremlins, check out the big battery.

So the new 12 volt battery solved the intermittent key fob issue?
