How to Replace the Remote Key Battery of a Volkswagen Caddy

Model: Volkswagen Caddy MK 3, 2K - Years 2003-2020
Part: Key

In this video, you will see the steps to replace the battery in the remote key of a Volkswagen Caddy. The operation is very simple and quick; first, ensure you have the correct model of the battery to replace, which in this case will be a flat CR 2032 3V battery. Take the key of your car and use the tip of a small knife to pry open the edge of the remote to separate the upper part containing the metal key from the lower part containing the remote circuit and the battery. Open the casing of the lower part of the remote to access the battery. Proceed to replace the old battery with the new one.
