Once the battery of the Volkswagen Polo remote control is flat, you need to replace it. This video tutorial shows the steps to follow. You will need a flat tool like a screwdriver or a small knife, and of course, a replacement battery, model CR2032. To proceed with the replacement, first extend the emergency key and locate the small slot in the middle.

Insert the screwdriver into this slot, lever it, and separate the remote control into two parts. Next, separate the lower half to access the battery.

Replace it, ensuring correct polarity, and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
