How to Change Battery in 2019 VW Atlas Key Fob

If you’re experiencing issues with your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas key fob, like decreased range or unresponsive buttons, it might be time to replace the battery. Luckily, this is a quick and easy fix you can do at home with just a few tools.

Replacing the battery in a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas Key Fob

What You’ll Need:

• A small flat-head screwdriver
• A new CR2032 battery (often found at grocery stores, hardware stores, or online)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Locate the release button: On the back of your VW Atlas key fob, you’ll see a small, circular button.
2. Open the key fob: Gently press the release button and slide the back cover of the key fob off.
3. Remove the old battery: Carefully pry out the old CR2032 battery from its compartment using your flat-head screwdriver. Avoid touching the battery’s flat surfaces to prevent draining its charge.
4. Insert the new battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment with the positive (+) side facing up. You can usually identify the positive side by a “+” marking or the manufacturer’s logo.
5. Reassemble the key fob: Align the back cover of the key fob and snap it back into place. You should hear a click, indicating it’s secured.

Testing Your Key Fob:

Once the new battery is installed, test all the key fob buttons to ensure they’re functioning correctly. If the buttons are still unresponsive, double-check that the new battery is properly installed and has not been depleted.
