How to open the remote control and replace the battery of the A3 - A4 - A5 - A6

Model: Audi A3 Sportback MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

Let's find out the steps on how to remove the key remote control and how to replace the battery of the Audi A3 Sportback, but also of the A4, A5 and A6. First of all, we take our remote control in hand and start by pressing the button on the back to remove the physical key from the remote control itself; then we go to pull the battery holder that we find inside, as shown in the video. At this point we replace the battery with the new one, of the right type (in this case a 3V CR 2032); reassemble it on the battery holder, inserting it in the correct direction.

Reset Service Light on Ligier X TOO

This brief video covers the resetting of the service/maintenance light. Open the driver's door fully. Position the ignition key to the second stage (this does not mean starting the engine, just turning on the dashboard). At this point, simply press the button (see video) and hold it down. The dashboard will turn off, and the button should be pressed until the speedometer lights up again. When the dashboard is back on, the service light will be off. Of course, turning off the service light does not mean you are exempt from performing maintenance on the vehicle.
