Method to replace the battery in a Magotan remote key: 1. There is a hidden button on the lower side of the key. Press the button and pull the ring firmly to remove the mechanical key; 2. Remove the silver decoration at the bottom of the key by pushing it sideways towards the hidden button with your thumb to take off the silver decorative cover; 3. Open the cover at the back of the key, remove the old battery, replace it with a new one, and reassemble the key following the previous steps. The Magotan is a mid-size car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Replacing the battery in your Magotan remote key is actually quite simple and can be done at home in just a few minutes. Prepare a CR2032 coin cell battery, which can be purchased at hardware stores or supermarkets. There's a small gap on the side of the key—use a coin or a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry it open, and the case will separate. Be careful not to use too much force, as the plastic clips can break easily. The old battery is held in place by a metal clip; you can remove it with your fingernail. Insert the new battery with the positive side facing up. Finally, snap the cover back on with a click, and test the remote range by pressing the lock button a few times. If it responds from five meters away, you've succeeded. I usually keep a couple of spare batteries in the car, so I don’t panic if the key stops working.
