How to change the battery in the Volkswagen Golf 7 key?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

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.
