How to Replace the Key Battery of a Volkswagen Golf Mk7?

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

The remote key battery of the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 is hidden behind an integrated flap in the plastic cover of the remote. This flap can be opened by prying it with a flat object, preferably a flathead screwdriver rather than a knife or similar tools that could damage the remote. Once the flap is removed, access the battery compartment, which can be taken out using a precision screwdriver or a similar tool that allows you to pry in tight spots. After replacing the battery, close the flap.
