How to Replace the Battery in a Skoda Key?

[DelBraxton]

Remove the metal part of the key from the remote. You will notice an 【OPEN】 mark on the shell of the remote key. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the larger groove below the 【OPEN】 mark and twist the screwdriver to pry open the first layer of the remote key shell. This layer is used to store and secure the mechanical key. Continue prying with the screwdriver to reveal the button battery inside the remote key. Steps to replace the remote key battery: 1. Remove the mechanical key from the smart key (the L-shaped key). 2. Carefully observe the top of the smart key; there are deep and shallow grooves. Insert the L-shaped key into the shallow groove of the smart key and push it all the way down. The back shell of the smart key will automatically pop open. 3. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Then, reattach the back shell and the mechanical key.
