How to change the battery in a Volkswagen car remote control

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

In this video, we can see how to change the battery of a three-button Volkswagen remote control: first, we open the key by snapping it open and put our fingertips into the slot that has been created, pulling downwards with some force. We immediately expose the battery, which is a common CR2025 button battery: we pry it up with the tip of a small knife, being careful not to cut ourselves, and the battery will literally "pop" out because it has a small spring behind it. We put the new battery in place, paying attention to the polarity (we need to read the writing on top to make sure it is placed correctly) and then we can close the remote control body, exerting a slight pressure.
