How to replace the battery of the V.A.G. key and upgrade the shell

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

In this video we can see how to replace the battery in a remote control of a Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat car: using a flathead screwdriver, we pry on the two sides of the remote control body and open it in two. Using a T6 tip, we remove the small screw found in the top part of the battery compartment. The youtuber takes the opportunity to also change the rubber buttons, which are damaged. You can find them, for example, on AliExpress with the code 1005001728136992 at a price of 0.96 euros, with free shipping. We replace the battery, which is a common CR2025, that we can find for a few euros at any supermarket or electronics store. We put the cover back in place and the job is done.
