First of all, the batter is a lithium flat cell...available at any Radio Shack. 1. First, use a flathead
screw driver to pry into the little rectangular access hole on the VW
emblem side. Pry the plastic piece in the up and "pry apart"
motion.
2. If you pry properly, the
keyfab should separate like the picture.
3. Here is another view from
the other side.
4. Separate the keyfab into
two pieces. 5. Just by using your
fingers, pry open the cover on the transmitter side. Be gentle. You don't
want the batteries to fly out.
6. Gently, flip the cover
over. There are two type CR1620 lithium cells snapped in on the cover.
Remove, replace, and re-assemble in the reverse order. The keychain ring
will probably fall off at this point. Put it back before assembly. Don't
touch any of the electronics because of ESD danger. You may fry the chips. |
