Gather Your Tools
Before starting, make sure you have the necessary tools:
- Two CR2025 batteries
- Flathead screwdriver
If you don’t have a flathead screwdriver, I recommend using a smaller one to avoid damaging your key fob. However, a regular-sized screwdriver will also work.
Open the Key Fob
To begin, locate the small hole on the side of the key fob. This is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver.
Using a Smaller Screwdriver
If you have a smaller screwdriver, insert it into the hole and give it a twist. This will open up the key fob without causing any damage.
Using a Regular-Sized Screwdriver
If you only have a regular-sized screwdriver, insert the corner of the screwdriver into the hole and carefully twist to open the key fob. Be gentle to avoid any damage.
If you would like to purchase a small screwdriver set, there’s a link to the one I use personally in the video description. It’s a cheap set available on Amazon.
Remove the Old Batteries
Once the key fob is open, you’ll see two CR2025 batteries stacked on top of each other. Use your fingers or the screwdriver to carefully pull out the first battery.
Next, remove the second battery in the same manner. Take note of the battery orientation, as the new batteries will need to be placed in the same way.
Insert the New Batteries
Now it’s time to insert the new batteries. Remember, the positive side (marked with a plus sign) should be facing down.
- Place the first battery with the positive side down.
- Stack the second battery on top, also with the positive side down.
Ensure that both batteries are securely in place and snap into position.
Reassemble the Key Fob
With the new batteries installed, it’s time to reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves of the key fob and give it a firm squeeze to snap it back together.
And that’s it! Your Audi A6 key fob should now be working with the new batteries.
