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:
- Locate the release button: On the back of your VW Atlas key fob, you’ll see a small, circular button.
- Open the key fob: Gently press the release button and slide the back cover of the key fob off.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
