How to Open the Key of the New Sagitar?
2 Answers
Open the folding part of the key, insert a flat-head screwdriver or a coin into the small horizontal slot in the groove, and pry open a larger gap. Then, hold the key ring below and pull hard to separate the key into upper and lower parts. Next, forcefully pry open the side to split this part of the key into front and back pieces. Here are the specific details about the new Sagitar's key: Key Chip: Each new key of the Volkswagen New Sagitar must contain a microchip and be encoded with the data of the electronic anti-theft locking system. If a car key does not have a microchip or has one but is not encoded, the key will not function. Key Functions: The New Sagitar key includes three main function buttons: lock, open trunk, and unlock vehicle. Simply press the corresponding button to perform the desired function. When pressed, the battery indicator light in the upper right corner will illuminate. If the button is pressed for too long, the indicator light will flash multiple times. Additionally, there is a mechanical key unlock button in the upper left corner. Press it once to automatically eject the mechanical key, and press the button again to retract and lock the mechanical key.
Last time I disassembled my new Sagitar car key, it felt quite easy. There's a small notch on the back of the key. Use a thin plastic piece or your fingernail to gently pry open the clips—avoid using metal to prevent scratching the surface. Inside, you'll find the button battery and small chip components. You can clean the contacts or replace the battery, but handle everything lightly to avoid damaging the parts. I've also found that regular maintenance like this can extend the key's lifespan, as keeping it in your pocket often leads to dust buildup and rust. If it's stuck tight, don't force it—try shaking it a few times before prying. The whole process is suitable for hobbyists, but make sure to work in a well-lit area to avoid losing small springs or other components. After fixing, press the cover firmly back in place and test the unlock function a few times. DIY saves money and time compared to visiting a repair shop, and as long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any issues.
