How to Open the Key Battery of a Volkswagen Golf 7

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

How do you open the key fob of a Volkswagen Golf Series 7? Take your key fob and press the release button of the metal key; once the metal key pops out, use a screwdriver to pry between the two halves of the key fob (in the space where the metal key fits). Pry until the cover opens, then extract the worn battery with a small screwdriver. Get a new battery of the same size and voltage. Join the two parts: press the key fob case until you hear it click into place. Check the proper functioning of the key fob by operating the buttons.
