Your Step by Step Guide on VW Key Replacement

You’ll want to start by collecting the right materials, including:

  • New CR2032 Battery
  • Small Screwdriver
  • Tape

Wrap the head of the screwdriver in tape to prevent cosmetic damage to the VW key fob, then follow these steps:

  • Eject the emergency key by pushing the button on your VW key fob.
  • Get a good grip on the key fob, then locate the seam between the base and the lid.
  • Use your fingers to create a space between those two pieces, then pry them apart with your screwdriver.
  • Take out the old battery before inserting a new one in its place. Make sure the positive side faces downward.
  • Put the VW key fob case back together, ensuring everything fits as tightly as before.

You’re now ready to start driving again. Of course, if you’d rather have your VW key battery replacement conducted by a service technician, you’re always free to visit us at Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles and we’ll do it for you!
