It sounds like it is the battery. It should still work to start the car though, did you try that? If it works, then it is just the battery. If you take it to the dealer, they will have the right batteries and will probably put it in for you.
Without going to a dealer, pull out the metal key and right before the key comes all the way out, there is an edge where you can use the tip of the key to pry the end cap off of the key. Once it pops loose, pull it out by hand, and there will be two watch batteries. Get two more just like this and replace them.

I think he is referring to the Netherlands setting.
I would suggest you save by putting in your own batteries instead of the dealer. Just being cheap here.
