Thank you. I’d worked out how to do the first bit but could not work out how to split the second bit. I was worried I’d break it. Now working. You have my gratitude and blessed be. 💕
Brilliant! I'd watched a couple of others but they didn't make sense. Soon as I saw what you did with the knife I found my way in!! Me and my Skoda Roomster say 'Thank you!!' 😊
@@sploosabino I wish they’d make these things simpler to get into. It took me ages to figure out, hence why I made the video in the first place lol. Glad you found it helpful though 🙂
@@misscazzybee I'm so glad you did! I was planning on driving to my local Skoda dealership tomorrow because I was darned if I could work it out. Soon as I saw how you used the knife the penny dropped and it was plain sailing from there. Yes! Why do they make it so difficult!? LOL
I have changed quite a few key fob batteries in the past but this was the first time I have had to lever the two main elements apart using a flat screwdriver (in my case) rather than undoing a screw with a cross-head screwdriver. The second split is what foxed me this time, as I found the owner's manual misleading at that stage. I didn't twig that you had to pull the two halves of that half apart. Thanks a lot. It was nice and clear.
You’re welcome. I’m glad this video is still helping people. I originally put it up to help a friend and had no idea that it would be liked by this many people.
Excellent! I've now changed batteries in both key fobs for my 2008 Octavia. Your video saved the day, well done! Before watching it, I'd almost given up hope of being able to change the battery.
Thank you so much! Was panicking because other videos didn't show how to open skoda key fobs and both my key fobs had run out of battery at the same time! After watching your video i was able to open mine within seconds 😁 my key fob is exactly like yours and its for a skoda fabia 2 (2009)
I’m so glad it was helpful. This is exactly the reason I made it; when I was trying to change my battery first time I couldn’t find any tutorials anywhere and because the key was so old there were no obvious entry points. It seems to have helped a fair few people out so it’s worth my embarrassment over a rubbish video lol.
@@JohnChaffey I was actually asked to make it by a friend who couldn’t find one so I’m so glad I made it and posted it; it seems to have been useful to loads of people
Thank you for the tutorial, so many tutorials but yours was straight forward and very easy to understand. It helped me to change my battery 🔋. Stay safe.
Thanks for this, saved me time figuring it out! I used a stanley blade instead of a knife, but got it open and changed - mine stopped unlocking, even though it locked OK. Thank you 👍
Thank you for the tutorial. It worked perfectly for me as well as saving me a visit to the Skoda dealer as suggested in their handbook. Clear and concise.
Thanks I was about to break the 3 button fob of my 57 Fabia mk 2 struggling to follow another video because it actually has one of these earlier key fobs. They come apart in completely different ways!!!!!! The later ones the grooves are different and a lid lifts off. The end doesnt come off. Beware.
Thank you very much indeed, simple, short, straight to the point tutorial... Just one question please, does it work straight away or would it need pairing or coding with the car?
Great video. Enabled me to change the battery on my Roomster. Having gone through the process I found the key still didn't work so I took it apart again and bent the connectors slightly to make sure they were making good contact with the battery and the circuit board it now works OK. Checked the battery voltage and I think it was the poor contact that was the problem rather than the battery.
Excellent. I found one of these keys on a walk, and the battery was dead. I changed it and now to go around the car parks and get me a new car! :) No, hopefully owner can be found. Excellent video.
Marilyn Wolfman That’s great, I’m really happy that you didn’t have to spend a fortune getting it done in a garage. I think we spend enough on motoring as it is so I’m glad this video has helped.
I was struggling with this until I found this Video. Then it was a 2 minute job. Many thanks.
Glad you found it helpful
Brilliant. A simple and no nonsense tutorial. Thanks very much!
Thank you. I’d worked out how to do the first bit but could not work out how to split the second bit. I was worried I’d break it. Now working. You have my gratitude and blessed be. 💕
Glad you got it working again 😊

Excellent, after looking at several reviews this one worked for me
Great! So glad it helped
Thank you so much! I have a Skoda roomster 08 and no one has done a video with the right way, but you have! Legend ta!
So glad you found it helpful 😊
Thank you so much. So many videos for the other types but not for this one that slides apart before you split it! Many thanks!

I struggled, like you said, to find the right video. Yours was perfect; well-explained and solved my problem. Thank you!
You’re welcome. When I made this video I never imagined that it would help so many people, so it’s really nice to hear, thank you.
Thank you for the video it's the only proper video I found thanks a lot! 😀😀😀😀
You’re so welcome. Thanks for the kind comment! 😊
Dear Miss Cazzy Bee!I'm glad I found your video!That's how I was able to replace the battery in the Fabia key!Thanks for the upload!Bela from Hungary!
Glad I could help 😊
Thank you! Your video saved us a lot of time and brain cells ;)
Glad you found it helpful 😊
Thank you for the tutorial, so many tutorials but yours was straight forward and very easy to understand. It helped me to change my battery 🔋.
Stay safe.
So glad it helped 😀
thank you so much! took so long to find out, that all the tutorials I watched, were not for my sort of key, even if they looked exactly the same..
So glad you got it sorted. It’s one of those frustrating jobs that should be easy but is more of an enigma to solve!
Thanks for this, saved me time figuring it out! I used a stanley blade instead of a knife, but got it open and changed - mine stopped unlocking, even though it locked OK. Thank you 👍

Thank you!! Just managed to sort out my wife's key thanks to you.
You are an angel. Its now 2022 and this worked for my Fabia 5J. Thank you
Awesome! I’m happy you got it to work.
Absolutely clear, it solved immediately the problem - it works for Skoda Fabia too
Happy to hear it helped and glad it works for more than one model.
Thank you very much indeed, simple, short, straight to the point tutorial... Just one question please, does it work straight away or would it need pairing or coding with the car?
Hi. Thanks for the positive feedback. For me, my key worked straight away and did not require pairing.
Thank you Cazzy Bee. You just made my battery change ( Octavia 2004 ) v easy indeed. Happy driving. 👌
Many thanks! I've been using my spare for the last year so great to get my key working again.

Thanks very much. Followed your instructions, battery replaced, job done!!
Excellent. I found one of these keys on a walk, and the battery was dead. I changed it and now to go around the car parks and get me a new car! :) No, hopefully owner can be found. Excellent video.
😂 Thanks. If only. I’d definitely opt for a newer model!

Thank you very much my dear. Ordering my batteries now. Does the key need reprogramming after this?
Not in my case it didn’t, no. A few people have mentioned their thanks below but haven’t said that they needed a reprogram so you should be fine
Thank you)))! You really help me)))
Miss cazzy bee thank you so much. I’ve been using manual lock to open and lock my car for months. Thanks
Rohit Kumar Singh Ah bless you! So glad you managed to get it sorted now. Definitely much easier with a handful of shopping!
I'm pretty practical minded. but couldn't work out how to open my key, hammer and chisel seemed overkill :) Thanks ;)
Perfect! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Fantastic! THANK YOU!
Thank you! It was helpful!
Thanks this worked well.
Thank s a million!
Thank you very much for your help
Perfect! Was looking for that key.
