What to do if the Battery in your Volkswagen Key Fob Dies
If you’ve noticed that your key fob isn’t working correctly, don’t panic. More than likely your fob isn’t broken, it’s probably just that the battery has died. To replace the battery in your Volkswagen’s key fob, follow these easy instructions:
Open the key by pushing the metal button on your key fob
Hold the fob with the “VW” logo on the top
You’ll notice the key is vertically split into two; pry open the slot that is to the side opposite of the logo by using either your fingers or a screwdriver
Once the top is removed, use a small flat tool to pry the battery from its compartment
Replace the old battery with a new CR2032 battery with the + side facing down
Snap the top back on
I hope you found this helpful in replacing your dead VW battery! If it did, drop a comment and a thumbs up 😉

2017 Tiguan key battery died on me. This was the first video I found. Thanks for the easy instructions!
So tired of stupid videos, if we could just "pop that portion off" why would we have Google this?
Thank you! I certainly saved some money doing this myself. Very easy and quick!!
The cover wouldn't snap off the 2006 key fob like he did it in this video. I tried using screwdriver to pry it open on the side slot where the key blade goes when it's folded up but it wouldn't budge. The top portion with the buttons had to be slid away from the bottom portion and then the battery cover snapped open. I replaced the battery but the remote still wouldn't work.
This is exactly the info I needed!
Thanks man, a simple straightforward video. I just followed along and now it's done. Cheers!
It's too bad there are 2 versions of the key and you did not specify this. Sweet, just broke my only key.
Great work! Thank you!
worked just like you explained!!
Googled it, found the battery, and now have the installation process.
**Thank you Key Fob Rob!
