Replacing Key Battery for Volkswagen

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

Today, I will show you a very simple operation, which is how to open the key/remote for Volkswagen cars and, if necessary, replace the battery. Press the appropriate button to release the manual key. Using the space created by the key's release, detach the upper cover by pulling it by hand (the one next to the Volkswagen logo), as shown in the video. Voila! Here is the battery. At this point, simply remove it and insert the new one you purchased: it is a CR2032 and can be found in all hardware stores for a few pounds. Reassemble the remote, and you're done.
