How to Replace the Battery in the New Volkswagen Magotan Car Remote?
2 Answers
There is a hidden button on the bottom side of the key. Press the button and pull the loop firmly to remove the spare key. Use your thumb to push firmly toward the hidden button side to slide off the silver decorative cover. Use a fingernail or a small flat-head screwdriver to pry open the back cover of the key from the gap on one side. Use a sharp object to remove the battery from the notch and replace it with a new one.
Replacing the battery in a Volkswagen Magotan remote is actually not difficult at all—I've done it several times myself. Look for a CR2032 coin cell battery, which you can buy online or at a hardware store. There's a gap on the back cover of the remote; use a plastic card or a small screwdriver to gently pry it open, but don't use too much force to avoid damage. Take out the old battery and note the positive terminal's position. When inserting the new battery, align the positive symbol facing upward. After closing the cover, press the buttons to check if the light turns on to confirm success. If it still doesn't work after replacement, you might need to resync it—just turn the ignition on (without starting the engine) and hold the lock button for a few seconds. In daily use, remember that battery life is typically two to three years. If the remote response slows down, replace the battery first. DIY saves repair costs and is super convenient.
