Method to disassemble the Magotan car key: Press the small button on the side of the tail cap of the key, then pull out the key blade; Push the chrome-plated cap at the tail of the key sideways until you hear a click, then pull the cap upwards; Use your thumbs to press into the side grooves and pry open the key case to disassemble it. The Volkswagen Magotan is the first B-class sedan under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2812mm. The new Magotan integrates Volkswagen's advanced technology and introduces configurations from higher-level models, not only inheriting the brand's consistently excellent handling and safety performance but also elevating comfort to a higher level.
I used to frequently disassemble Volkswagen group keys. Taking apart the Magotan key is actually quite simple - the key lies in having the right tools and a little patience. You'll need a small flat-head screwdriver or a dedicated plastic pry tool, which can be bought for just a few dollars on the market. First remove the key from the keyring, then locate the small gap on the side, usually where the metal and plastic parts meet. Gently insert the screwdriver and pry outward bit by bit without using brute force, as the plastic casing is quite brittle and prone to cracking. Once opened, you'll see the battery and a small circuit board inside - be careful not to touch the contacts or electronic components. If replacing the battery, remember to use a CR2032 coin cell and use plastic tools when removing the old battery to avoid short circuits. It's best to perform the entire operation under good lighting with steady hands. After reassembly, test the key functions - press the buttons to see if it can unlock the car. If you break it, you'll have to get a new key from the dealership, which could cost hundreds. With more practice, you'll get proficient at disassembling keys and can save some repair costs.
