Below are the steps to disassemble the New Magotan key: 1. Remove the emergency key from the car key. 2. Insert a flathead screwdriver approximately 3mm wide along the arrow direction into the emergency key's outer guide on the car key at about 12mm. 3. Turn the screwdriver clockwise until the cover pops up. 4. Push the battery compartment cover along the arrow direction and remove it. 5.

Position the cover and press it onto the car key housing against the arrow direction until it clicks into place.
I often disassemble the Volkswagen New Magotan key because the battery needs frequent replacement. The key is usually made of two halves. First, locate the small gap or groove on the back. I use an old credit card or plastic pry tool to gently pry open the edge, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid cracking the shell. Once opened, you can see the battery compartment and circuit. The battery model is typically a CR2032 coin cell. When replacing the old battery with a new one, make sure to align the positive and negative terminals correctly. When reassembling, press firmly until you hear a click to ensure a proper seal. It's recommended to check the battery every two years to avoid key failure at critical moments. Avoid using metal tools carelessly to prevent scratching the internal chip, as damage could lead to bigger issues. DIY is cost-effective—just buy inexpensive batteries and keep them in the trunk.
