100% useful; no music, no filler, no fluff. Thank you.

[@pawils]

Perfect. I appreciate that you just start in with the info, no pointless intro, no history of the origins of key fobs, just the helpful stuff. Thank you!

[@tricia4304]

"No history of the origins of key fobs." Hahahaha!

[@susanbrain2181]

Thank you so much - it saves me going to the dealers every time they fail.

[@lynnekelley7545]

Even a senior like me can do it! Thanks for keeping it simple 👌

[@edcranswick3920]

Thank you Garage Tech. I'm told these keys work hard for my GTI Performance so I'll change the batteries once a year. Clear, concise video. Will save me the hassle of going to the dealership!!!

[@GarageTechAutomotive]

Hey, no problem, yes the batteries don’t last as long as they used to with cars that have start buttons etc. because the vehicle is always checking every few minutes if the key is still in the vehicle.

[@charlesbarry6040]

Thank you. Very straightforward. Too many TH-cam videos are made by people who just like to hear themselves talk. This was on point, very refreshing and helpful. Cheers!

[@pamelameadows2546]

Excellent. I had seen 3 or 4 other VW key videos, but they were all different from my key (T-Roc 2018) and they all had 2032 batteries. Following this video I got my fob open and the battery was a 2025. Replaced in seconds.

[@justins6960]

You made this look much easier than other videos. Very helpful! Thank you!

[@saskylou]

So helpful. Simple, easy to understand and follow instructions. Thank you very much!!

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

Thanks for this video, simplified and straight to the point

[@johnreynolds4375]

Worked like a charm. Thanks! Saved tons of $$ on dealer labor!

[@phylliscraine]

I must have spent 10 minutes trying to find this information my 500 page GTI owners manual. Thank you!!

[@giedriusgudaitis591]

Just perfect. Changed it by myself in 30 seconds or so. Thank you!

[@lindadunbar6588]

Thank you. I just got back from driving from DC to NYc suburbs, with 2 quick stops only for bios breaks with the engine running because the key battery was almost dead. Had trouble starting the car. Once i got it started the second time I decided not to turn it off until I was back in NY. All because I did not know how to change the key battery myself. Plus on Sunday no service people are open although how I would get to them was a puzzle. I bought the batteries at the pharmacy but then did not know how to get them in the fob. I've stowed two extra batteries in the car just to be safe. Feel much more independent now. Slightly tense 5 hour drive home.

[@summitwonder]

Thanks so much, clear straight to the point guidance. Saves me a trip to the dealer! Keep up the work.

[@KishorJoshiMCh]

Thanks a lot. I could change the battery easily after watching this video. Didn't even need a screwdriver, just prised it open with my fingers and a pin to scoop out the old battery.

[@xinjunluo4650]

GR8 video. My Tiguan battery was dead today and I was able to change it with new one. Thx again.

[@mondoturan]

[@nettejean5912]

Thanks! Easy peasy for my 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen Fob. :-)

[@missireason8998]

Attn. Viewers:
Although the title of this video has VW and the years 2015-2018, use the good demonstration to take off the back of the fob and check first.
Because...
I have a 2016 Jetta and my fobs don't take the CR2025, but rather the
CR2032.
I live in a rural area, and this led to me having an extra 30-minute trip.
No foul though, life is meant to live, the extra trip gave me a reason to get out of the house and enjoy an unusually mild weather winter day, with a hint of sunshine.
This is a direct contrast from the cabin fever I have gotten from COVID-19 isolation precautions.
Some helpers and keyboard warriors would give this video a thumbs down and/or leave a scathing comment about how not all 2015-2018 VW key fobs take the CR 2025 battery, but that is not my way.
Before going to the store, I could have checked it.
The demonstration on popping off the back cover was helpful to me.
Just wanted folks to know, check first, before buying a battery. It is quite possible the CR2025 is just for his particular model/trim of VW.
Again, no foul. Sh*t happens.
