Is the remote key battery flat and needs replacing? Let's see how to dismantle the key and replace the battery on a VW Touran. Separate the two halves of the key (as shown in the video).

Reassemble the plastic covers onto the remote by pressing until you hear a click. Join the plastic part with the metal key and the other half of the key. Check the remote key's operation after the replacement.
