How to replace the key battery in the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

The Audi A3 key is designed in such a way that to replace the battery you don't have to remove the blade and open the entire remote control. In fact, the only thing to do is to open the flap on the back of the remote control using a flat screwdriver. This must be small because its tip must be inserted into the special slots which allow you to release the flap latches. Once this has been removed, with the same screwdriver we can extract the battery and replace it with the new one. The battery to be used is the button cell type CR2032.
