How to Open the Mechanical Key Cover of a Magotan?
2 Answers
Opening the remote key of a Magotan is generally for battery replacement. The battery replacement steps are as follows: 1. Prepare a flathead screwdriver about 3mm wide and a battery (CR2032). 2. Push the locking mechanism of the emergency key to remove the mechanical key. 3. Insert the flathead screwdriver along the mechanical keyhole, apply slight force and turn clockwise until the key cover pops open. 4. Remove the old battery, noting the positive and negative poles. 5. Insert the new battery, ensuring to use only a new battery with the same voltage, structure, size, and specifications, paying attention to the positive and negative poles. 6. Close the key cover and insert the mechanical key.
I was also curious about this last time. The key cover of the Magotan is quite easy to open. Did you find the small button at the end of the key? That little raised part, just press it down with a bit of force while gently pulling the mechanical key part outward, and it will slide out like a rail. Don’t use too much force, though—the plastic cover is fragile, and if you break the clips, it won’t be fun. Once opened, you’ll see the battery slot, which is usually the entry point for replacing the battery. The battery model is typically CR2032, but it depends on the year. The first time I did it, I was a bit nervous, but later I found it quite simple—the key is to align it properly before acting and not to be too rough with your hands. Remember, don’t misplace the cover; it’s easy to lose. Find a safe place to keep it. If you really can’t pry it open, it might be stuck, and it’s safer to let the professionals at the 4S店 handle it for free—after all, they’re the experts.
