How do you change the battery of the Opel Astra remote control?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Key

Finding yourself at a certain point unable to open and close your car with your remote control can happen to anyone at any time. Excluding cases where there is a cold solder joint in the circuit, which needs to be repaired, or damage caused by impact to the key itself, most of the time it is due to a flat battery, the widely used CR2032 button cell. Replacing it involves opening the cover of the remote control, then using a small flathead screwdriver to pry open the central part and once opened, extracting the aforementioned battery will be very simple.
