Changing the Battery of the Remote Control for a Volkswagen Golf VII

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

The remote control opens and closes the doors of your Volkswagen Golf from a distance and is powered by a battery that periodically runs out and needs replacing. With the side of the remote containing the buttons facing down, insert a plastic lever to avoid scratching the surfaces, and apply pressure to open the cover protecting the battery. Using a pointed tool, remove the exhausted battery from its housing and replace it with a new one, ensuring the correct polarity is respected. Reposition the plastic cover and check that it functions correctly.
