How to Change the Remote Battery of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Key

To change the battery of the Volkswagen Tiguan remote, observe the second key, push the designated button to release the key, and remove the cover at the bottom where the manufacturer's logo is by prying it off with your hands on the longer side. Once the cover is removed, you will find the battery, which you will take out by prying it from the bottom with a small flathead screwdriver. After removing the old battery, take the new battery out of its packaging and insert it in the same way the old battery was positioned. Finally, replace the cover until you hear a click, and test the new battery.
