Replacing the Key Shell for Volkswagen

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

Do you want to replace the shell of your Volkswagen key? Let's see how to disassemble the Volkswagen remote. Lever between the two covers of the key (in the space where the metal key fits). Pry until the plastics separate, then detach the logo from the back of the cover. Separate the protective covers where the battery and metal key are housed: extract the battery with a small screwdriver. Install the small circuit board in the new cover, along with the battery: press on the key case until you hear the locking click. Join the two covers and screw in the fixing screw. Finally, attach the logo.
