Video tutorial

Although the video author focuses specifically on the key fob of the Volkswagen Golf 6, the same procedure applies to all key fobs with similar characteristics and, with minor adjustments, even those that are not identical but very similar in structure.

First, extend the mechanical blade of the key outwards, then open the cover that hides the battery of the key fob. If needed, use a small screwdriver to assist.

At this point, simply remove the exhausted battery and insert a new one with the same specifications.
