Hi, not to sure what way the batteries go in but i do no that once the batteries go flat or removed for ten mins you have to re program the remote key,(not as bad as it sounds) you should have a red key which you have to start the car with then you start it with the remote key you then have to turn key in a patern. This is all in the hand book if you dont have the book i could type it in from my girlfriends one.

hope this helps
