How to Disassemble a Volkswagen Car Key?
2 Answers
Volkswagen car key disassembly method is as follows: 1. Open the folding part of the remote key, eject the mechanical key, insert a flathead screwdriver into the horizontal groove in the slot, then press firmly and gently turn the screwdriver with skill. 2. When a larger gap is opened, pull the key ring below with your hand and pull it down hard, the key will be separated into upper and lower parts. 3. Forcefully pry open the side, this part of the key will be divided into front and back pieces. 4. Expose the battery part and the circuit board part, remove the old battery, replace it with a new one, and finally reassemble it as it was.
Disassembling a Volkswagen key is actually quite simple. I did it myself last time when replacing the battery. First, locate the small groove or button on the side of the key, press it to pull out the mechanical key. Then use a thin plastic card or nail file to gently pry open the shell along the middle seam. Older keys usually have two or three clips - stop when you hear a click. Newer models might use adhesive, so apply careful force. Once opened, you'll see the button battery (remember it's always CR2032). When reassembling, ensure the circuit board is properly aligned and don't misalign the waterproof seal. For keys with keyless entry, avoid touching the metal patch in the induction area during disassembly to prevent signal interference. Always search for disassembly videos specific to your car model before attempting this.
