    In this video I'm showing you the two different styles of VW fobs. They look very similar but the process is a bit different. For the newer style fobs, all you need to do is pop off the back portion and you have access to the battery quickly. For the older style, you will need a screwdriver to dry the two sections apart. Then you will pry the back half apart yet again. Hope this little video was helpful to you!
    How to replace a Volkswagen key remote battery. These two fobs are similar looking but getting to the battery are very different. Hopefully this helped you change your dead or low battery in your VW key.

    Excellent instructions: accurate and succinct. It took me less than two minutes to replace the battery (prying the old one out was a bit harder than I expected, or it would have been about one minute).

    Now an even cheaper fob on the 2022 Tiguan. You have to pull an emergency key out of device. Both batteries had to be replaced (by me) after 26 months. One fob was only used when car was serviced (2x total) and my everyday fob in use on a car that hasn’t hit 7500 miles yet.

    Appreciate the post. Ours (2003 VW Vista, mini class C/eurovan engine & chassi)) is not either of these, though looks similar to the older model. Where yours both show VW logos, ours is a blank circle w/a tiny screw~ not sure if I should try unscrewing, or go w/your own method #2, since it does look the same on the side view when the key is popped out of the way? Appreciate your time if you happen to see this~ Sam in AZ

    I have the 2014 model and its the same as the older model showed here, just there is a retaining ring for the battery that comes out when you remove the battery. Wish I watched this video before attempting as I unnecessarily dissembled the 'flick-knife' key and had a whale of a time figuring out how to put it back together.
