How to Open the Volkswagen Magotan Car Key?
2 Answers
To open the Volkswagen Magotan car key, follow these steps: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the slot where the mechanical key is inserted, twist it to release the clips of the remote key shell, and then you can open it. The Volkswagen Magotan is a mid-size sedan. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865 mm, width 1832 mm, height 1471 mm, with a wheelbase of 2877 mm. The 2020 Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
I've taken apart the Volkswagen Magotan key many times, and it's quite simple. There's a small gap on the side of the key. Use a small tool like a fingernail or a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry open the casing. Be careful not to force it or scratch the internal circuitry. The key casing usually consists of upper and lower parts. Once opened, you'll see the battery compartment. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, typically a CR2032. After replacing the battery, align the clips and press the casing together until it snaps into place. The whole process takes just a minute or two. If you use the key frequently, the battery might last about a year, so replacing it early can save trouble. If the casing feels too tight, don’t force it to avoid damaging the key—it’s safer to seek help from a repair shop. Remember, opening the key is mainly for battery replacement or cleaning dust; avoid unnecessary opening to prevent signal interference.
