Remote stopped working

I've had luck installing the battery in the remote backwards for a few minutes, and then installing it the correct way. I don't know why that works.

I've installed the battery backwards - my mistake. I've also installed the battery incorrectly by not noticing that little plastic tab - by mistake.

And of course - if you haven't used the car for over 5 days, non of the remote functions will work until you unlock the door with your key.
