How to change the battery of an Opel/Vauxhall remote control

Model: Vauxhall Opel Various
Part: Key

In this video, we will see how to change the battery in a Opel/Vauxhall remote control; the process is the same for all vehicles of the brand. First, press the metal button located on the side of the remote control: this will allow us to remove the physical key, which we will need in case of emergency, if the remote control has a low battery, to open the driver's side door. Insert the tip of a small screwdriver into the hole left by the key and open the two sides of the shell. Here we see that we have a button battery with the code CR2032, which we can easily obtain. Remove it and replace it, paying attention to the polarity. Close the shell and put the physical key back in its place.
