Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

In this guide, we will look at the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the shell of the Volkswagen Golf key. First, let's take our remote control and start by removing the rear plastic cover by prying it off from the sides; then we remove the battery and open the remote control into two parts, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the physical key and the electronic board, then transfer all the components to the new key shell; we assemble the remote control by reattaching the elements in order, and then check that it functions correctly.
