Introduction

Replacing the battery in your Volkswagen CC key fob is a simple task that can save you time and money. In this guide, I will walk you through the process step-by-step. Whether you have a three-button or four-button key fob, this tutorial will help you get the job done. Let’s get started!

Identify Your Key Fob Type

Before you begin, it’s important to identify which type of key fob you have. There are two types of key fobs for the Volkswagen CC, and they have different processes for changing the battery. The first type has an indicator light in the top right corner, while the second type has the indicator light in a different location.

If your key fob has the indicator light in the top right corner, follow the steps below. If your key fob has the indicator light elsewhere, you can find the specific guide for your model here.

Tools and Materials Needed

To replace the battery in your Volkswagen CC key fob, you will need the following:

• CR2032 battery
• Large coin or flat tool

You can purchase a CR2032 battery from Amazon.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Flip Out the Internal Key

The first step is to flip out the internal key from your key fob. This will give you access to the back section of the plastic cover.

Step 2: Remove the Back Cover

Look for the back section of plastic on your key fob. You will need to push this section up from the inside where the key just was. Hold the top part of the key fob steady, as it will not move. Push upwards, and the back piece should come off easily.

Step 3: Use a Coin for Assistance (If Needed)

If you find it difficult to remove the back cover, you can use a large coin or a flat tool. Insert the coin into the bottom area of the key fob and twist gently. This should make it easier to remove the back cover.

Step 4: Locate the Battery

Once the back cover is removed, you will see the battery compartment. The battery is held in place by two tabs at the top of the device. Gently push down on the battery near these tabs to release it.

Step 5: Insert the New Battery

Take your new CR2032 battery and ensure that the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing up. Push the battery under the two tabs and click it into place. Make sure it sits flat in the compartment.

Step 6: Reattach the Back Cover

After the new battery is securely in place, reattach the back section of the plastic cover. Snap it down securely to ensure it is properly closed.

Step 7: Test the Key Fob

To make sure you have done everything correctly, test the key fob by checking if the indicator light comes on. If the light is functioning, your key fob is ready to use!
