I just replaced the key battery for my colleague's Teramont this week, and it was actually quite simple. For the older version with physical buttons, first eject the mechanical key. There's a thin gap on the side of the key - you can use a fingernail or thin card to pry open the cover by running it along the gap. The newer touch-control key is even easier: just push the VW logo metal cover upward to reveal the clip position, then pry it open. The battery model is mostly CR2032, which you can buy at any supermarket. When installing, make sure not to reverse the polarity - align the metal side downward with the spring plate, and the cover is properly secured when you hear a 'click'. The whole process takes about five minutes, saving you over 200 yuan compared to going to a 4S shop. Remember to pry gently, as the plastic clips can break easily.
