    you’re a real one for this video, my car wouldn’t start cause the battery was dead and i was stuck in a parking lot but i went over to the store and bought a battery and watched your video and now i’m back on the road

    You are a life saver omg, I was told I’d have to get an entirely new key fob and quoted several hundred dollars to recut the key all because the buttons didn’t work anymore, $15 and a screw driver and now it’s good as new!!!

    THANK YOU!! My car was dinging every minute or so warning me about my key battery and I had the dreaded thought that I might need a whole new key so finding this was a lifesaver. I bought the batteries and bam, good to go. I appreciate you making this video so much!

    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).

    Thank you so much ur a life saver. Some ppl even professional tow guys couple of them said to re-program my VW Jetta 2009 none of them said it was the remote battery since the battery had died on my remote since three months and i was manually locking and unlocking my car since had other commitments and did not want to spend more money on this and the boot worked sometimes and the remote worked sometimes.
    I saw ur video and said lets give it a try with the replacing the remote battery cost $5 if it works good if it does't then i just loose $5 that's ok and guess wat the idea worked out.

    I really appreciated this video. I went to Canadian Tire to buy a new battery and was hoping that they would put it in for me. Unfortunately, they had a costly complaint from someone and no longer will put the new battery in for you. After watching this video,I was able to change the battery without any problem! Thanks again!😊

    Good info, Thanks! Note my 2005 Passat uses the key that is taken apart in two steps. My key fob would lock the doors, but not unlock them. I figured the key fob needed reprograming, but a new battery fixed the problem.

    Mine is slightly different, but still gave me an idea how to open. Unfortunately mine takes CR2025 batteries when I've already got some CR2032s in the house.
    Just a reminder based on a couple of other comments here - you aren't locked out of your car if the battery goes. It still works as a manual key! 🔑😄🤦🏻‍♀️
