[tylerd2003GTI]

One of my keyless remotes has stopped working i took it apart thinking it was just the battery but i couldn't find the battery. How do i get it to work again?

This should help!

What you need before you start:

small flat head screwdriver, or small knife, and a CR2032 battery (available at most auto parts stores, radio shacks, walmarts etc... $4) very flat
Step 1 have your key with the VW logo facing up


Step 2 insert small screwdriver (or swiss army knife) into slot between key and transmitter (part with the buttons) [I find it easiest to use the knife as a lever to help seperate them)

Step 3 pull apart key and transmitter

Step 4 seperate the two halves of the transmitter. You should be able to do this with your thumb and forefinger

Step 5 dislodge battery

Step 6 re-insert battery (+ goes down) and push remote back together

Step 7 check to make sure light still blinks
