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.

2032 Battery you need - amzn.to/34adgaZ
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
Good stuff!! Glad you could get it sorted out and get back on the road
The same story here 😄
The best videos under 2 minutes! 👍
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!
Glad I could help!
You are a life saver omg, I was told I’d have to get an entirely new key fob and quoted several hundred dollars to recut the key all because the buttons didn’t work anymore, $15 and a screw driver and now it’s good as new!!!
Thanks for the quick tip. Clear, concise, accurate and didn’t drag on for 20 minutes.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Best instructional video I’ve seen here about ANYTHING since a loooong time. I’m shocked
Glad it was helpful!
Watched this once, changed my battery myself. I love a simple no nonsense video. Thanks.
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!
Glad it helped!
I struggled with this for 8 hours before I found you. Volkswagen always has to be different from the others. Thank you.
Straight to the point. No fluff, thanks much
You just saved me so much time. I didn’t imagine it’d be so easy. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the no BS...Just showing us how..
No problem 👍
Exactly.1 and done thx
Hell yeah

Thanks so much. Worked like a charm and saved me some money. Volkswagen charges like $15 to do it for you. 👍🏼
Glad I could save you some cash!!
Really appreciate the straight forward video with no extra banter, made the process a breeze 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!!
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 🙂
Great! Glad it was a simple fix for you :) Take care
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).
No problem 👍
We need more of you , straight to solution no messing quicker than me writing this
Lol - I do have a bunch of kids :)
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.
Glad it helped!
You're a legend mate! Your video helped me to guide my Mom in South Africa to change the battery with me in Australia.👍👍
Cheers!!
Thank you so much ur a life saver. Some ppl even professional tow guys couple of them said to re-program my VW Jetta 2009 none of them said it was the remote battery since the battery had died on my remote since three months and i was manually locking and unlocking my car since had other commitments and did not want to spend more money on this and the boot worked sometimes and the remote worked sometimes.
I saw ur video and said lets give it a try with the replacing the remote battery cost $5 if it works good if it does't then i just loose $5 that's ok and guess wat the idea worked out.
Boom!!! Glad it helped
Legend! Thanks for posting! Straight to the point, no messing.
You bet! Take care
Thank-you !!! My unhandy man told be to ‘take my car to the dealer’ 😳😝, your video and two batteries ( 5.99) for two and as my Grandpa said ‘I am back in business’ THANK-YOU !!!
Great job! Glad you could get it sorted out quick and cheap!
@@KeyFobRob thanks again !!
This was an absolutely brilliant simple to follow video that helped me replace the battery and sort out my car locking and unlocking issue. Thank you Rob ❤
No problem 👍
Jeeze who had any idea getting the key fob open would be so easy? Thanks a ton!
Glad I could help!
Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to do this. This really saved me a lot of time and effort!
You're welcome!
wow thank you! worked perfectly. saved me the $50 install fee :)
Glad it helped!
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!😊
Great! Glad you could get it sorted out
Amazing straight to the point no unnecessaries
Thank you!
Like others said straight to the point. You helped me to open my fob (older style). Thank you a lot.
Nice! Glad I could help
Thanks! Just what I needed. I appreciate you making this video.
Glad I could help 😃
Love it straight to the process, I highly recommend!!
Glad I could help!
I watch this video every year. Thank you.
Nice! See you again next year :)
Thanks! Everyone else only shows the new version. Almost broke mine until i saw this
Glad you found this video helpful!
I'd never have got the fob open without this video - thank you.
Glad I could help you!
So simple , so useful. Thank you very very much , greetings from Greece.
Παρακαλώ
Thank you! Precise details and good lighting.
Glad it was helpful!
I like the pimp flip @1:21 just slings that old battery out. Thanks for help man!
lol - yup! Glad I could help
😁Thanks! I just did it following your instructions, great job!
Glad it helped!
Short and sweet, Thanks for the good video
Glad you found the video to be helpful
Good info, Thanks! Note my 2005 Passat uses the key that is taken apart in two steps. My key fob would lock the doors, but not unlock them. I figured the key fob needed reprograming, but a new battery fixed the problem.
Glad it helped
Best instructions Ever on RUclips! Thanks!
Glad I could help
Straight to the point...thanks so much
Thanks so much for the battery change .your a legend😊
No problem 👍
Thank you for this. How do you remove the electronic chip from the newer one?
That was so easy! I was overthinking it. Lol. Thanks for this very easy understanding video!
I haven't been able to lock my car cuz the battery in the fob died..and the key hole is broken to my door handle so the key literally just spins without locking the door or car.
Glad you could get it sorted out!
thank you so much! also thank you for distinguishing between the old and new key fobs and their differences
Glad it was helpful!
Easy peasy! Thanks Key fob Rob! :)
No problem! Glad I could help
My key was different from most ones in youtube, you helped me much
Great! Glad I could help
Thanks for your video. Replace and ready to go!
You're welcome!
Mine is one series newer than these (2019: logo in the corner). And it's rare because my year is mostly keyless, though the base models still click. I'll try to find another video.
Here is my video on that style - ruclips.net/video/LTeWwJyGuzE/видео.html
First class. A most excellent tutorial. Splendid. Many thanks, and Kind Regards.
Thanx a lot! I couldn’t fill up on petrol, and couldn’t believe it was ONLY 🙄 the battery in the fob! Called my mechanic (holidays 😢) and found your video. I’m not a DIY person but I managed an so: ⛽️ 🚙💨💨💨 😅
Glad it helped
Best video. Thanks for zooming in and showing the two different models.
on the newer model, how do you get to the chip to replace the shell?
Thanks! With the second model, I never would have known to pry and slide 🙏🏻 👍🏻
Happy to help!
THANK YOU 🙏🏾!!! I really didn’t want to go to the dealership for this.
No problem 👍
This is what RUclips is all about. Thanks
Thank you dude 3 years later this came in handy!!!
no problem :)
Thank you! Made changing my battery simple and easy.
Glad it helped
Excellent thank you. Sadly it still doesn’t unlock the 2003 T4 in fact when I push the button I the red light flashes for about 30 secs
Had a pack of spare batteries lying around but no 2032 left, tried a slightly thinner 2016 and it works fine.
Thank you done and dusted and works!!!!
You're welcome!
Appreciate the post. Ours (2003 VW Vista, mini class C/eurovan engine & chassi)) is not either of these, though looks similar to the older model. Where yours both show VW logos, ours is a blank circle w/a tiny screw~ not sure if I should try unscrewing, or go w/your own method #2, since it does look the same on the side view when the key is popped out of the way? Appreciate your time if you happen to see this~ Sam in AZ
Practical and useful video! Thank you and stay well.👍👌
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for the video which was concise and to the point .
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks i didn't realize it was THAT simple
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for the video, I was able to change the battery on my newer key fob
Glad I could help!
Thank you!.. Your video was a great help 👍
Good stuff! Glad you could get it sorted out.
I was trying to pop off the wrong side 😭😂🍃 thank you Rob
Good stuff! Glad the video could help you get it sorted out
Saved me so much time. Thanks!
Key Fob Rob is the Goat
Ha! Thanks for stopping in and commenting
Thanks man. Worked nice and easy
Glad it helped
Thank you! Great video!
Thank you
Hi, Rob! I have a 2018 VW Jetta (Wolfsburg Edition); I’ve never changed the battery and when I try to pop the cover open (my fob has a bubble logo) it does not open with ease. Is there something more I need to do to get it open?
Push harder, you won't break it!
do you have to program it after?
super easy! thank you for a simple & short video 👍🏼
You’re welcome 😊
Great video thanks you made it easy for me!!!
Good stuff! Glad you could get it sorted out.
Thank you this was perfect. Again much appreciated.
Glad it helped!
This was most helpful, thank you!
My golf is 03’ the key buttons just stopped working today! But it only has two buttons! Lock and unlock! Will it be like the second/older one in this video? And will the battery you’re suggesting work? Thankssssss
Yup! Same process and same battery
thank u king i owe u my life
my mother just had this done and the guy at the garage said the key needed to be programed or something idk if she got charged extra for it but have you ever heard of the key needing to be reprogramed to be able to start the car?
Great simple video 👍👍
Glad you think so!
Mine is slightly different, but still gave me an idea how to open. Unfortunately mine takes CR2025 batteries when I've already got some CR2032s in the house.
Just a reminder based on a couple of other comments here - you aren't locked out of your car if the battery goes. It still works as a manual key! 🔑😄🤦🏻♀️
Thank you for such a great tutorial!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@KeyFobRob
ىىووىوووووووووووووووووووووىىىىىىىىو
Worked like a charm 😊
Glad it helped!
Thank you. The guy in the key shop ran out of batteries and told me I should just do it myself via RUclips - saved me £12
You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful
I have the 2014 model and its the same as the older model showed here, just there is a retaining ring for the battery that comes out when you remove the battery. Wish I watched this video before attempting as I unnecessarily dissembled the 'flick-knife' key and had a whale of a time figuring out how to put it back together.
Yeah - those are quite the pain to put back into place
Good work!
Thanks!
Thank you, and straight to the point
Glad it was helpful
Top Work Rob keep it up 👍
Cheers!
Geesh my dumbass has been taking the fob to the stealership for 10 years because I just assumed it was some proprietary battery. 🤦🏼♂️ Thanks for the video!
Ha! I feel you. You can absolutely do this yourself
Thanks just saved my bacon and now I can get into my car 🎉
Good stuff! Take care
Hello i put on my key CR2032 its good or i have to put CR2025?
Either will work
Thank you saved my life 😊
not all heros wear capes. lol
Very helpful! Thanks a Million 🎉
Glad it helped!
Great vid, thanks for your help mate
Anytime. Take care
Thanks for very informative and helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
4 years later still helpful 😃
Hint: With the newer one you probably won’t need any tools since I got my battery out quite easily with just pushing the battery in on the right side
Thank you muchly for the 48 seconds. I see over there in related items, someone has a 15:36 video for the same thing.
Absolutely no need for this video to be lengthy at all. Glad it was helpful 😁
