When my Skoda Kodiaq key fob runs out of battery, I always replace it myself. First, prepare a CR2032 button cell battery, which can be bought for a few dollars at an auto parts store. There's a small groove on the side of the key—use a coin or a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the casing, being careful not to use too much force to avoid breaking the clips. Once you see the old battery inside, use a fingernail or toothpick to lift it out from the edge. Avoid touching the battery surface directly with your fingers, as sweat can affect conductivity. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side (marked with a + sign on the metal surface) faces outward. Finally, align the casing clips and press firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's properly secured. After replacing the battery, immediately test the lock function by pressing the buttons to ensure it works. The whole process takes about five minutes and is risk-free if done carefully. DIY battery replacement saves money and avoids the hassle of queuing at the dealership.
