To replace the battery in the Volkswagen Passat B8 remote control, use a small flat-head screwdriver to pry open the groove on the chrome part of the remote. This will allow you to remove the plastic cover on the back of the remote and access the battery.

The battery should then be extracted from its housing and replaced with a new spare part. After installing the new battery, close the remote with the appropriate plastic cover.
