In this video, you will learn how to replace the exhausted battery in the remote control of the fifth series Volkswagen Golf; this tutorial also applies to other contemporary models from the Wolfsburg manufacturer, given the similar key design. Start the operation by applying force to the key structure to separate the two parts of the casing.

Now, focus on the part containing the buttons, separating the structure, and you will find the battery compartment. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new CR 2032, 3V. Reassemble the remote control, and the job is done.
