How to Change the Battery in the Audi A6 Key Fob

Model: Audi A6 C7, MK 4 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key

Changing the battery in the Audi A6 key fob is a straightforward task. The only tool needed is a screwdriver or any flat tool (as shown in the images, a common kitchen knife is used). Use the chosen tool to pry open the small cover on the key fob (located on the side with the automaker's emblem, as indicated in the video images) and remove the cover. This gives you access to the battery compartment, allowing you to easily remove and replace the battery. This operation should be performed every 18 to 24 months.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
