VW ID.4 / Skoda Octavia key fob battery replacement - EASY DIY

Thanks for you ☺️👍🏻

Any tips to get the cover on the other side back on as it's come apart and can't seem to get it to start together

Ford Tourneo Grand Connect the same, thanks a lot!

Awesome thanks for being quick to the point

Thank you so much, so easy with your video!

Thank you for this! super easy and thanks for the link

GOOD VIDEO

This was very helpful. However I ran into a little snag. There is a U-shaped spring that is part of the mechanical key release mechanism. When I pried open the black cover I must have dislodged this spring and it fell out unnoticed. Only on reassembling I noticed that the mechanism wasn't working like it did before. Fortunately I found the spring and was able to get it back into its proper place.

Hi Rob, my Skoda 2021 key fob silicone casing/housing has completely come off. Is there a way to get it back on?

Thx;-)

Thank you, it's helped.

Thank you

Thank you! So easy

Thank you!

🐐

Thanks a lot, worked for Enyaq iV!

Mistake: Trying to remove the side with the buttons printed on it - that's the wrong side to get to the battery. This video is correct, I made a silly mistake. Anyway. If the wrong side comes loose it's hard to replace. It's soft plastic, get it close to being re-inserted in the grooves, then rub on a smooth surface while pressing the cover hard and squeeze it back in the grooves.

Cheers!

Thank you 😊

Be careful! If you use the key to open the back don't push it too far, otherwise you'll break one of the hooks.

Big thanks: you should become the leader of the car manual department at Volkswagen 🎉.

Thanks! I was concerned that replacing the battery would need some kind of 'pairing' to the car, but this worked exactly as shown! Both fobs now have new batteries 🙂

Thank you so much!

Good explanation, quick and easy.

This video tip is great; it works for the ID3 key fob also.

Thank You.

Hi Rob. Any idea how to fix a key fob where the other ‘softer’ side has come away from the main body???

Thank you

Great video thanks. Be careful the spring mechanism may popup out of place when you open the case. It did for me, but on a couple tries and see in video where it is was able to put it back.

Thank You :)

Thank you! My skoda appreciated it. =)

Great video, thanks a lot!!!

Thank you so
Much good sir !!

That was insanely easy .. thank you. I over heard the dealer saying they charge $$$ just to do this…

Thx. Had some ikea batteries left. Can change them 10 times before reaching the charge Skoda would bill. 😅

Thank you for this video! It taught me how to replace my Skoda Octavia's car key battery.

Cheers buddy , Enyaq year n half old , got the message today to swap out 👍

Cheers 🍻!
You could make the Amazon link an affiliate link so you can get a little cash when people buy the battery. Just a thought..

Amazing, I couldn’t figure out how to open this key. 20 second job after your video. Thanks. ❤

Thank you 🎉

Thanks so much! Just wanted to search for a quick vid on how to do this and this was perfect. Really appreciated.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thank you! Doing a great public service with this video ❤

Is there a way of putting the otherside on the keyfob on I peeled it back thinking it would just go back on.

Thx !

Thanks! Now I don't need to go to an authorized service center. A local store will be enough ;)

Life saver, cheers 🍻

Awesome, very helpful. Thanks

How long have people gone with the ID.4 before having to change the battery? I'd like to change it regularly to avoid lock out...
