How to Open a Magotan Car Key?
2 Answers
Here is a detailed introduction on how to open a Magotan car key: 1. If it is confirmed that the issue with opening the door or starting the car is due to the low battery in the key fob, please replace the battery in the key fob promptly to avoid inconvenience caused by a completely dead battery. If replacing the battery does not resolve the issue, there may be other faults, such as a problem with the key fob itself or a malfunction in the vehicle's sensing module. 2. Car keys with keyless entry functions may have the mechanical key folded or hidden inside. For conventional folding keys, simply unfold them to locate the keyhole for opening the door. If the mechanical key is hidden inside the main key, it can be extended for use to open the door. The mechanical keyhole is usually only installed on the driver's side door; other doors either open together or require manual opening from inside the car. Some car models, for aesthetic reasons, do not expose the mechanical keyhole and instead hide it under a protective cover. Gently pry open the protective cover to reveal the mechanical keyhole. Once the mechanical key and keyhole are located, turning the key will open the door.
Last time when my Magotan car key ran out of battery, the method to open and replace it was quite simple. There's usually a small groove or gap on the back of the key fob. You can gently pry it open with a fingernail or a flathead screwdriver, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the plastic casing. Inside, there's a coin cell battery - a square CR2032 model. When removing it, note the positive side facing up. Make sure to insert the new battery in the correct orientation, then press the cover firmly and test if the remote unlocking works properly. It's safest to perform this procedure about once a year, as the battery nearing the end of its lifespan may cause remote failure. Keep spare batteries in your car in advance to avoid inconvenience during emergencies. You can buy standard branded batteries at supermarkets - a five-minute DIY solution that saves unnecessary trips and expenses at dealerships. The whole process requires no technical skills and becomes routine once you're familiar with it.
