How to Change the Batteries in a Volkswagen-Skoda-Seat Remote

Model: Skoda Skoda Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

This procedure is identical for the remotes of Volkswagen, Skoda, and Seat, which all use the same type of remote; the only difference is the brand logo. First, extend the flip key, then insert a small flathead screwdriver into the slot and gently pry it open to avoid damaging the remote's casing.

Now you will see the button battery that needs changing, which is a common CR2025, available for a few pounds from any newsagent or supermarket. Replace it, ensuring the polarity is correct, and then reattach the remote cover.

The job is complete.
