Part: Key

In this video, you will learn how to replace the battery of the remote for the Volkswagen Golf MK7, the seventh generation of the German manufacturer's C segment. Specifically, we will cover a keyless remote, which does not have an external key. Start by removing the metal key by pressing the button on the side. Using a screwdriver, detach the plastic casing of the remote to access the compartment containing the battery. You can now extract the battery (a common CR 2032 3V) and replace it with a new one. Reassemble the remote and reinsert the key, then check if it works correctly.
