A dead battery can be seriously annoying. Thankfully, it only takes a moment learn how to open a
Volkswagen
key fob.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to opening a Volkswagen key fob to reach the battery within:
  • Remove the physical key from within the fob.
  • Find the seam between the lid and the base of the fob.
  • Get a flathead screwdriver into this seam and pry the two halves of the fob apart. You may want to wrap your screwdriver in tape to prevent scratching.
  • Replace the dead battery.
  • Snap the fob back together.
If you followed the above steps, your Volkswagen key fob should be back in action!
