How to disassemble the key shell of the Skoda Octavia.

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 3, 5E - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

Below we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the shell of the Skoda Octavia key in simple steps. First, let's take our remote control and start by removing the back cover by prying it off from the sides; then, we remove the side cover and the battery, subsequently opening the remote control into two parts, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the electronic board from the key shell, also taking out the physical key; if necessary, we replace the key shell with the new one, reassembling and putting the remote control back together.
