Do you want to remove the remote control of the Golf 6? Remove the plastic covers to access the flat battery. Replace the battery with a new one after removing the old one. Press the release button of the metal key, use a screwdriver to pry between the two covers of the key (in the space where the metal key fits). Pry until the cover opens, then extract the worn battery with a small screwdriver, take a new one of the same size and voltage. Refit the small circuit board onto the same cover or replace it with a new one, press on the key case until you hear the locking click.
