Replacing the battery in your 2019 VW Touareg key fob is a quick and easy process that you can do yourself in just a few minutes. Here’s how:

1. Locate the release button: On the side of your key fob, you’ll find a small release button. This button allows you to separate the key blade from the fob.
2. Release the key blade: Press the release button and slide the key blade out of the fob.
3. Open the key fob: Use the key blade or a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the key fob casing. Be careful not to damage the plastic. There’s usually a small notch where you can insert the key blade or screwdriver.
4. Remove the old battery: Once the fob is open, you’ll see the CR2032 battery. Gently pry it out using your fingernail or a small flathead screwdriver.
5. Install the new battery: Insert the new CR2032 battery into the fob, making sure the positive (+) side is facing up. Press down firmly until the battery is securely in place.
6. Close the key fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them together until they snap shut.
7. Reinsert the key blade: Slide the key blade back into the fob until it clicks into place.
8. Test the key fob: Try locking and unlocking your car to ensure the new battery is working correctly.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

Sometimes, you might encounter minor hiccups during the battery replacement process. Here are some common issues and how to resolve them:

• Key fob not working after battery replacement: Double-check that the new battery is correctly installed and that the positive (+) side is facing up. If it still doesn’t work, try reprogramming the key fob to your vehicle. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on how to do this.
• Difficulty opening the key fob: If you’re having trouble prying open the key fob, try using a plastic opening tool or a thin guitar pick to avoid scratching the plastic.
