2 Different Styles of VW Key Fob Battery Replacement - EASY DIY

In this video I'm showing you the two different styles of VW fobs. They look very similar but the process is a bit different. For the newer style fobs, all you need to do is pop off the back portion and you have access to the battery quickly. For the older style, you will need a screwdriver to dry the two sections apart. Then you will pry the back half apart yet again. Hope this little video was helpful to you!

How to replace a Volkswagen key remote battery. These two fobs are similar looking but getting to the battery are very different. Hopefully this helped you change your dead or low battery in your VW key.

you’re a real one for this video, my car wouldn’t start cause the battery was dead and i was stuck in a parking lot but i went over to the store and bought a battery and watched your video and now i’m back on the road

Thank you!! I have the older fob and I don't think I could have figured it out myself how to open it without breaking it without your video!

Thanks for the no BS...Just showing us how..

THANK YOU!! My car was dinging every minute or so warning me about my key battery and I had the dreaded thought that I might need a whole new key so finding this was a lifesaver. I bought the batteries and bam, good to go. I appreciate you making this video so much!

Thanks for the quick tip. Clear, concise, accurate and didn’t drag on for 20 minutes.
Thank you.

Watched this once, changed my battery myself. I love a simple no nonsense video. Thanks.

I struggled with this for 8 hours before I found you. Volkswagen always has to be different from the others. Thank you.

You just saved me so much time. I didn’t imagine it’d be so easy. Thank you!

Thanks so much. Worked like a charm and saved me some money. Volkswagen charges like $15 to do it for you. 👍🏼

Best instructional video I’ve seen here about ANYTHING since a loooong time. I’m shocked

[jonball]

Excellent instructions: accurate and succinct. It took me less than two minutes to replace the battery (prying the old one out was a bit harder than I expected, or it would have been about one minute).

Straight to the point. No fluff, thanks much

Thanks Rob! My car wasn't recognizing my fob - it was just a battery change - thanks so much for walking me through this! Happy Holidays 🙂

Brilliant, Thank you so much for creating this excellent instruction. It saved me from breaking the key fob trying to work out how to undo it.

I really appreciated this video. I went to Canadian Tire to buy a new battery and was hoping that they would put it in for me. Unfortunately, they had a costly complaint from someone and no longer will put the new battery in for you. After watching this video, I was able to change the battery without any problem! Thanks again!😊
