How to replace the battery of the VW Taigo remote control

Model: Volkswagen Taigo MK 1 - Years 2020-2026
Part: Key

The Volkswagen Taigo and the Volkswagen T Roc have the same remote control for opening, closing, and starting the car. To replace the battery in case of malfunction, we need to lift the opening key and insert a screwdriver into the side hole. With a slight pressure, the remote control will open and the battery can be removed. Insert the new battery and close the remote control cover. Approach the vehicle to test its operation, if it still doesn't work, the issue may be with the opening and closing control unit rather than the key.
