Part: Key

Let's quickly see how to change the battery of a Skoda Octavia MK2 remote control: open the retractable key and then, using your fingers, lift the back part of the remote control, the one with the Skoda logo, where the button battery is stored, a common CR2032 that we can easily get for a few euros at any supermarket or electronics store.
