In this video I demonstrate how to replace the battery in a Volkswagen flip key. You will need a large and small flat blade screwdriver to help remover the battery. Really simple job so why not give it a go 😊

Very nice! Thank you!
Thank you!!
well done, clear and easy. Thank you!
Nailed it! Thank you.
Good video. Straight forward. Easy. With the battery model info. Much appreciated.
Attn. Viewers:
Although the title of this video has VW and the years 2015-2018, use the good demonstration to take off the back of the fob and check first.
Because…
I have a 2016 Jetta and my fobs don't take the CR2025, but rather the
CR2032.
I live in a rural area, and this led to me having an extra 30-minute trip.
No foul though, life is meant to live, the extra trip gave me a reason to get out of the house and enjoy an unusually mild weather winter day, with a hint of sunshine.
This is a direct contrast from the cabin fever I have gotten from COVID-19 isolation precautions.
Some helpers and keyboard warriors would give this video a thumbs down and/or leave a scathing comment about how not all 2015-2018 VW key fobs take the CR 2025 battery, but that is not my way.
Before going to the store, I could have checked it.
The demonstration on popping off the back cover was helpful to me.
Just wanted folks to know, check first, before buying a battery. It is quite possible the CR2025 is just for his particular model/trim of VW.
Again, no foul. Sh*t happens.
Easy to follow and to change battery. Thanks
I must have spent 10 minutes trying to find this information my 500 page GTI owners manual. Thank you!!
100% useful; no music, no filler, no fluff. Thank you.
I bought the energize ones but it’s thicker so it’s not going in :/
Thank you so much! Both my key fobs are dead. Have to replace today. Nice and simple! Appreciate it!
Thanks mate! Leave it to VW to not use the 2032 which seems to be the industry standard.
Thank you. Very straightforward. Too many YouTube videos are made by people who just like to hear themselves talk. This was on point, very refreshing and helpful. Cheers!
So helpful. Simple, easy to understand and follow instructions. Thank you very much!!
Once I replace the battery, is there any programming involved to sync the fob back to my car, or is it good to go?
Thanks, straight to the point and easy to see and follow your movements.
My R has stopped screaming at me to change the key fob battery now…crisis averted! 🙂
Awesome video! took me 1 minute to replace and I am like Tim Taylor from the show Home Improvement
A quarter works much better than the screwdriver, and there's less risk of damaging or scratching your key fob, or your hand (if you're really aggressive).
Worked like a charm. Thanks! Saved tons of $$ on dealer labor!
Thank you! Incredibly easy, thank you for helping me feel competent on this Sunday morning.
You made this look much easier than other videos. Very helpful! Thank you!
