If we look at the key fob of our Volkswagen Golf, we can see the button indicated in the video with the number 1 that allows us to release the blade of the mechanical key. After pressing it, we can replace the battery by opening the designated cover.

The battery is a 3-volt button cell that can be purchased at any newsagent, Chinese shop, DIY store, or similar.

Remove the exhausted battery using a flat screwdriver or a similar object, insert the new one, and close the cover. You're done.
