2016 VW Volkswagen and Skoda Key FOB COMPLETE teardown and battery replacement 

Let's eee, the dealership wanted $350, the fob case on ebay cost $15 with shipping, so that's $335 you just saved me. Thank you!!!

I know this is an old video but I want to add that the torx bit is a T300 for anyone with a precision driver set. I had an issue with a rapidly dying battery so I disassembled to right before breaking the seal, and hosed the inside with contact cleaner and shook it really hard a few times. This completely resolved the battery dying issue.

Thank you for uploading this. Could not have repaired my key blade without this walkthrough!

Thanks Dan, I managed to fully disassembly my key and reassembly it after fix without breaking it thanks to your very clear instructions! There was probably a bad contact with the battery. You made my day anyway 😉

Thanks Dean, I needed to replace Fob due to the key blade broke before the pin. Video was great I transferred circuit board and original key blade to a $15 internet Fob and saved me from the dreaded dealers estimate of $450.

I really enjoyed watching this DIY tutorial video Dean!

Thank you! This was the only helpful video I could find. I was able to do the replacement myself and avoid paying about $400 at the dealer... thanks!

Thanks! Your video prevent me from total key disassembly)

Whee! You saved me 800 of my hard earned Aussie dollars. Once i could see the PCB, was an easy fix. Huzzah!

Thanks man, trying to open my 2019 key for a couple hours...but dang i'm tearing up the plastic. I saw another video which made it look so easy, but now that you mentioned its epoxied I realize how hard this is going to be.

I love your old man vibes. So endearing. 😀

You did that so easily. Loved it.

Hi Thank you. Did you fix it? There are videos showing how to repair a leg of some chip

Thanks Dean, I figured out to use a small heating gun additionally (gently)it helped not to break the parts

Excellent video loved it!!! Please make more 👍

Only thing to add is when you reassemble, you need to align the front cover to the spring holding the cover upside down. This ensures the bit of the spring sticking out slots into the front cover properly. Then rotate the front cover anti-clockwise so it is then aligned with the back of the key. This will ensure the spring has tension and the key flicks out properly in the right direction.

Great 👍 I will try on my fob key 🔑. Thanks again

Dean, we all know that the fob fell into the water when you were surfing

Just watched the whole video and I dont even own a key 😭😭

Aqui no Brasil, não tem vídeos nessa orientação.

Is there a separate transponder chip? Or is it part of the main board? They used to be pill shaped

Torx size 6 for the screw, for anyone stumbling on this.

I am lucky to receive a couple of Dean's List from my University. Imagine someone named Dean achieve Dean's List during their studies 😂

The screw on my leg required a 000 Philips screwdriver.

Il prezzo delle chiavi delle auto è diventato un insulto all'onestà dei lavoratori. (ma è un discorso che vale per tante altre realtà). Grazie per averci insegnato a risparmiare un sacco di soldi e rifiutarmi di pagare questo "pizzo". (ricatto) 😊🙏🏼🔝

Love your shit
