How do we change the battery of our Skoda key remote? Follow this video to proceed. First, press the key release button to free the key insert space.

Take a plastic or metal spatula and pry apart the two plastic parts to separate the covers exactly in the middle. Remove as shown in the video and open the two pieces of the cover.

Once you locate the worn battery, replace it with a new one that has the same specifications and dimensions. Refit the two covers by pressing them together.

Finally, join the two covers and close the metal key.
