Replace Your Audi A4 Key Fob Battery – Easy Tutorial!

Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Audi A4 key fob is a straightforward process. You can easily do it yourself at home in just a few minutes. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps needed to replace the battery. All you need is a CR2032 battery and a small flathead screwdriver.

Tools and Materials

Before you start, make sure you have the following items:

• CR2032 battery
• Small flathead screwdriver

If you don’t have a CR2032 battery, you can purchase one from Amazon. A small flathead screwdriver is also recommended, but you can use a similar tool if necessary.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Flip Over the Key Fob

Start by flipping the key fob over. You’ll be removing the back piece of plastic. This is where the battery is housed. Make sure you have your small flathead screwdriver or an equivalent tool ready.

Step 2: Remove the Back Piece

Locate the indentation near the key ring. Insert your flathead screwdriver into this indentation and gently pry off the back piece of plastic. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the key fob.

Step 3: Access the Battery

Once the back piece is removed, you’ll see the battery. There is an opening on the side of the battery compartment. You’ll need something small to fit into this opening and pry the battery out. A flathead screwdriver works well, but you could also use a paper clip or another small tool.

Step 4: Remove the Old Battery

Carefully insert your tool into the opening and pry the old battery out. Take your time to avoid damaging the battery compartment. Once the old battery is out, set it aside for proper disposal.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and orient it so that the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Place the battery into the compartment and press it down until it clicks into place.

Step 6: Reassemble the Key Fob

With the new battery in place, reattach the back piece of plastic. Line it up with the key fob and press it down until it snaps back into position. Ensure that it is securely attached.
