How to Disassemble a Volkswagen Lavida Car Key?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida car key disassembly steps are as follows: 1. Press the button on the side of the remote key; 2. Pull out the mechanical key from the housing; 3. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the middle of the contact port and turn the screwdriver; 4. Finally, pry open the back cover of the key. The following is the method for replacing the car key battery: 1. The battery is located on the rear side under the car key cover plate. First, flip open the car key head and use a coin to remove the cover plate on the rear side of the car key in the direction of the arrow. 2. Use a suitable flat tool to pry the battery out of the battery compartment, install the new battery, and then push the battery into the battery compartment in the opposite direction of the arrow. 3. Install the battery cover plate and then snap it onto the car key in the opposite direction of the arrow.
Last time I disassembled the key of an older Lavida model myself, first locating the release mechanism. There's a small notch hidden beneath the keyring slot—just hook it with your fingernail and push upward to open the battery cover. The newer models are a bit more complex; you'll need to gently pry along the side seam using a thin card. Be careful as there's a small circuit board inside—don't yank it forcefully. The spring and metal contacts are particularly prone to flying off, so it's best to lay a towel on the table while working. After replacing the battery, remember to reassemble everything exactly as it was, ensuring you hear a click to confirm it's securely fastened. Watching a few video tutorials beforehand is advisable for extra safety.
