How to Change Battery in VW 07 Key Fob

If you drive a 2007 Volkswagen, chances are you’ve experienced the dreaded “Key Fob Battery Low” warning on your dashboard. Don’t panic! Changing the battery in your VW 07 key fob is a quick and easy process you can do yourself in minutes. This guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you’re back on the road with a fully functioning key fob in no time.

What You’ll Need:

• A new CR2032 battery (you can find these at most supermarkets, hardware stores, and online retailers)
• A small flat-head screwdriver
• Your VW 07 key fob

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Open the Key Fob: Locate the small notch on the side of your key fob. Gently insert the flat-head screwdriver into the notch and pry open the casing. Be careful not to use excessive force, as this could damage the key fob.

2. Remove the Old Battery: With the key fob open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery nestled inside. Carefully remove the old battery using your fingernail or the flat-head screwdriver. Avoid touching the flat surfaces of the battery, as this can reduce its lifespan.

3. Insert the New Battery: Take your new CR2032 battery and align the positive (+) side facing upwards. Gently press the battery into place until it securely clicks into the casing.

4. Close the Key Fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together firmly. You should hear a click, indicating the casing is securely closed.

5. Test Your Key Fob: Once the key fob is back together, test all its functions to ensure the new battery is working correctly. Lock and unlock your car, and try starting the engine.

Troubleshooting:

Q: My key fob still isn’t working. What should I do?

A: Double-check that you’ve installed the new battery correctly with the positive (+) side facing up. If it’s still not working, there might be a different issue, and it’s best to consult your Volkswagen dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith.

Q: How often should I change the battery in my VW 07 key fob?

A: Typically, a key fob battery lasts between 3 to 4 years. However, factors like usage and climate can impact battery life. It’s always a good idea to have a spare CR2032 battery handy, just in case.
