How to Disassemble a Lavida Car Key?
2 Answers
The method to disassemble a Lavida car key is as follows: 1. Press the button on the side of the remote key; 2. Pull the mechanical key out of the housing; 3. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the contact port and turn the screwdriver; 4. Pry open the back cover of the key to complete the disassembly. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4613mm, width 1765mm, height 1460mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm, with a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2019 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Disassembling a Lavida car key is quite easy, and I often do this kind of DIY myself. The key usually has a seam on the back or side. Prepare a small flat-head screwdriver or a plastic pry tool, and start prying slowly from the area with a larger gap. The clips will gradually loosen—avoid using excessive force to prevent the casing from cracking. Once opened, you can see the battery holder and the circuit board. When replacing the battery, note the model (e.g., CR2032) and avoid touching the electrical contacts to prevent short circuits. The whole process takes about 10 minutes—cost-effective and convenient. Tools can be bought cheaply on Taobao. Before starting, test the key’s feel to familiarize yourself with the clip positions. Doing it yourself can save dozens of yuan in labor costs, and it’s a great way to practice and improve small skills—quite rewarding.
