In this video we are shown how to change the battery of the remote control for the latest Volkswagen cars. The procedure is really simple: we will need a small screwdriver to pry open the retractable key and lift the body of the remote control, which houses a common CR2025 button battery inside, easily found at any supermarket or electronics store.

We remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, paying attention to the polarity. We close the cover and the operation is complete.
