In today's video, we will see step-by-step instructions to remove and replace the battery of the key remote on a Volkswagen Golf Mk8. Start by taking the remote in hand and extracting the key; then remove the plastic back cover of the remote, possibly using something thin and pointed, as shown in the video.

At this point, you will find the battery compartment; remove the battery and replace it with a new one of the correct type (in this case, a CR 2032 3-volt); insert it correctly and reassemble everything!
