What You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather the following items:

• A new CR2032 battery (This is the most common type of battery used in Audi A5 Sports key fobs.)
• A small flat-head screwdriver or a plastic pry tool

Step-by-Step Guide

Once you have your tools and replacement battery, follow these steps:

1. Locate the release button on the back of your key fob. It’s usually a small, circular button near the top or bottom of the fob.
2. Press and hold the release button while gently sliding the back cover off the key fob.
3. Identify the old battery. It’s usually located in a small compartment within the key fob.

4. Carefully remove the old battery using the flat-head screwdriver or pry tool. Avoid damaging the battery contacts inside the fob.
5. Insert the new CR2032 battery, making sure the positive (+) side faces up.
6. Align the back cover and press it firmly back onto the key fob until it clicks into place.

That’s it! Your Audi A5 Sports key fob should now be powered up and ready to use.

Testing Your New Key Fob Battery

After replacing the battery, it’s always a good idea to test the key fob to make sure it’s working properly.

• Lock and unlock your car doors using the key fob buttons.
• Try starting your car using the key fob.

If the key fob isn’t working, double-check that you inserted the battery correctly and that the battery contacts are clean. If you’re still experiencing issues, you may want to consult your Audi dealer or a qualified automotive locksmith.
