I've had to recode the key to my Golf a few times after putting it in my pocket with my phone. I think you also have to do it if you press the button quite a few times when the car isn't around to hear it, so they get out of sync. It's really easy and it is in the manual. I think what you do is open the car with the key (the old fashioned way!) and then with the key still in the hole, press the button to unlock the car. As for the battery, you'd probably pick one up in a photo place or chemists or Maplins for sure.
