Best version of this tutorial because it actually mentions the little catch in the chamber rather than just using brute force. Thanks!

[@shishuali4821]

thanks for this, always prefer to watch a quick video rather than read the manual!

[@hurstmorris644]

Brilliant video! I was struggling to open it with the key as per Skoda instructions. Your instructions worked like a dream, and your explanations were so helpful.

[@malcolmabram2957]

I have had my Passat for a year now, and it says on the display, 'Change battery.' I had a go, got the key thingy out, 'Then what?' This video has exactly the same key, and without it, I would be 'marooned.' Thank you so much for taking the time to upload a clear and easy to follow video, highlighting the points when things could go wrong (subscribed).

[@mocnijogurt]

This is how you made a quality youtube content. Thanks!

[@itpradeep]

Today I have used this video and have successfully changed the battery.

[@Alastair-ix8pz]

Just changed two Skoda Superb batteries in less than 5 minutes. Be sure to " push up " with the screwdriver as he says in the video, I kept trying to push the screwdriver across at the point where he says " lands about here on the case " and it wasn't working, but after pushing directly up, it worked fine. Everything is easy when you know how! Thanks very much for the video. You're a star!

[@dariusz8012]

Thanks man! The best instruction video on the RUclips

[@syhchiang]

Battery required: CR2032

[@bormeh]

Thanks mate! Simple explanation with least damage for the key.
Btw, nowhere in skoda user manual one can find information which type of battery is needed. The key must be opened first.
Also, the design of the key (opening for battery change) is done in most idiotic way.
I have done it on three different keys and every time i had problems with it.

[@eddiew4468]

this is exactly what i need right now! Don't be afraid, you can change it yourself no matter you can drive or not lol

[@keesderks1]

CR2032

[@saroianap]

Great video - took less than 20 seconds👏

[@atomise2010]

I was stumped until I saw this, even about getting the hidden key out. Thanks so much.

[@szabbbolcs]

Now thats useful. Short, straight to the question, Thanks!

[@politicoloog]

Thx 4 the video! Worked really well. Minor point: if you would add an arrow with the direction you need to press the pinn. Spend some time pushing the wrong way. 😅

[@ilijaatanasov8107]

Excelent tutorial! Battery needed 2032! THANKS mate 👍👍👍

[@brainbocs3886]

Top notch demonstration. Cheers

[@niklasasplund5155]

Great guide, I hate ugly jet fobs that have been abused and marred with knives or similar.

[@vipkacper18]

Film 🎥 profesjonalny bez zbędnego gadania.

[@witek.m]

I nie do końca w porządku. Instrukcja mówi, aby po wyjęciu baterii nacisnąć dowolny przycisk na pilocie, o czym facet nie mówi. ;( Za to w oryginalnej instrukcji dla skody superb jest wg mnie błędnie pokazany ruch śrubokrętem. Można przez to rozwalić klucz.

[@andlep]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks 👍

doesn't work

[@Obakemono]

Thank you so much!....probably saved me a $100 visit to VW....and yes, I am not handy at all

[@ZigSputnik]

$100? Surely not. They should do that for free.

[@davidmorris4024]

Brilliant! Had me stumped until I watched this video. Getting the right plane of entry and the upward pressure is the key, pardon the pun! Thank you ! 🙏

[@olafkowal9790]

short and simple! thx!!!

[@patrickroos739]

Short and sweet, many thanks!

[@heronaddict2]

Thanks. I've just managed to do this but I used my thumb nail to prise open the cover as I couldn't find my screwdriver ! 👍

[@helenfreeman3007]

Helpful....thank you

[@Misiek9219]

Hi, is it necessary to programme key after battery replacement? Or something like that?

[@mikeyt2008]

How long does the battery last? Mine needs changing in a years time and the first functionality that goes with low battery is the automatic trunk unlocking.

[@Freaquence]

Had to change mine after 3 years.

[@arkadiuszswoboda6802]

Thx Mate

[@spdeekaa]

[@szopanawsi]

Thank you 😁👍

[@SkyNetLPY]

great

[@bollinsracing74]

Silly question but the emergency where does it work on the car? I have an Arteon.

[@zarkozi]

On the driver's side door knob, you pull the handle and there should be a small cap, you take it off to reveal the key hole.

[@bydus88]

my man. thanks

[@ursbratschi350]

super, danke

[@tae6175]

Why did I watch this? I don't even have a car with this key.

[@maxb7975]

meanwhile keyfob of my 2000 Passat B5 still runs on its original battery

[@adamambrus5855]

Thank you!

[@javieralvarez9146]

👏👏👏👏

[@serhiikhrapin5024]

it's definitely not simply clever

[@P.B._PABLO]

Nothing wrrr

[@warmrew9033]

This doesn't work. Use the knife in long whole between 2 sides, turn the night 20-45 dig. to open. Set knife top near the lock from this video.

[@Wacked]

It works. If you look at the case after it opened you can clearly see why. The screwdriver needs to be inserted where he shows, otherwise it passes the gap and wont pry on the lid. This can happen with a too long and or too wide screwdriver. It also does come with a little bit of force. The knife is an inappropriate way of changing the battery and at my dealer if any issue happen after that key, they won't help as it has been improperly opened.

[@_digifish]

LOL. So what you see on the video is some sort of illusion then? :)

[@knut6532]

Not the correct way in my opinion. Too much force needed. I put at pointy tool, not sharp, in the crack from the outside. Popped open without any force

[@_digifish]

That's not the correct way. The official method requires what I am doing here, but you should wedge a screwdriver in the release clip and twist. But it's almost impossible to get right.

[@ioancurea1356]

Thanks mate! A really helpfull !🫶🏻🫡

[@alex.badea.]
