If the smart key fob for your Volkswagen Jetta Mk6 has suddenly stopped working, the battery inside is likely dead and needs replacing as soon as possible. Below, you will learn how to perform this operation independently.

First, obtain a small flat screwdriver and use it to remove the back cover. Once done, take out the old battery and replace it with a new one (model CR2025). Reassemble the components you removed earlier, and you are finished.
