Introduction
Replacing the battery in your Audi R8 key fob is a simple process that takes only a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to replace the battery, ensuring your key fob is functioning properly.
For this task, you will need a flathead screwdriver and a CR2032 battery. These batteries are inexpensive and can be easily found online. I have provided a link to purchase them at a good price.

Tools and Materials Needed
- Flathead screwdriver

If you don’t have a flathead screwdriver, a precision screwdriver set can also be used. These are also available online and are quite affordable.
Steps to Replace the Battery
1. Open the Key Fob
First, flip the key fob over to the back. Look at the bottom where the key ring attaches. You will notice an indentation on the plastic.
Insert the flathead screwdriver into the indentation and gently pry back. The back piece of plastic will start to come off, revealing the battery inside.
2. Remove the Old Battery
Once you have opened the key fob, you will see the battery. There is a small hole to the side of the battery compartment to help you pry the battery out.
If your flathead screwdriver is too large, use a smaller precision screwdriver or any tool that can fit into the hole, such as a paper clip.
Gently pry the battery out of its compartment. If you need a precision screwdriver set, I have provided a link for purchasing one online.
3. Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side is facing up. Slide it into place and press down until it clicks into position.
4. Close the Key Fob
After inserting the new battery, put the back piece of plastic back on the key fob. Snap it down into place.
Check to make sure the light on the key fob is turning on. If it is, you have successfully replaced the battery.
