How to Open the Key of Lavida?
2 Answers
The method to open the key of Lavida is as follows: 1. Press the button on the side of the remote key and pull out the mechanical key from the housing; 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the middle of the contact port, turn the screwdriver, and pry open the back cover of the key to open it. After prying open the back cover, you can see the battery, which can be replaced. Taking the 2021 Lavida 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1474 mm in height. This car is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150 and a maximum power of 110 kW.
I've taken apart my Lavida car key several times, and I find the design quite user-friendly. Most Lavida keys are foldable, with a small groove or gap on the back cover that can be easily pried open using a fingernail or small key. Just give it a gentle pry to loosen the cover—avoid using too much force to prevent cracking. Inside, you'll find a small button battery, typically a CR2032, which is very easy to replace. Before opening it, remember to prepare a new battery and a soft cloth to cushion the parts, preventing them from falling and getting lost. After replacing the battery, simply align the cover and press it back into place until it clicks. The whole process takes no more than two or three minutes—doing it yourself saves both money and hassle. I recommend checking the battery every two years to avoid being stuck with a dead key when you're out. Also, keep the key dry to extend its lifespan. If the buttons feel sticky, open the key and clean the dust with a cotton swab—it’ll smooth out like new in no time.
