How to replace the battery of the MG5 remote control

Model: MG 5 Ap12 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Key

In this video we can see how to change the battery of an MG 5 remote control: It will be enough to pry in the lower part of the shell, with something that does not damage the plastic of the remote control, in order to lift the cover on the side with the MG brand, after we have extracted the metal key. In this way we can already see the battery, which is a common CR2032, which we can easily find in any supermarket or electronics store. We remove the old battery, levering with a small screwdriver, and put the new one in its place, paying attention to the polarity. We put the plastic cover back in place, and the operation is complete.
