How to change key battery for Škoda Octavia III or other Škoda cars & VW group cars?

[@TheDunker86]

love how the hardest part is extracting the batteries from the packaging

[@youthworkerAl]

pefect. the dealership won't tell you this and like to charge a lot of money to just put a battery in. Thank you sir.

[@chiefexecutivesearch]

Feeling ashamed to admit it, but we’ve gone to the car dealership to change our batteries for years 😂 Thanks to this video, it takes now 30 sec instead. And a lot less money. So thanks 🙏

[@KonradWalsh]

Thanks for the CLEAR guide... you found it harder to open the new battery pack than the fob!...

[@colinmackellar2962]

A clear explanation and "how to" demonstration, thank you.

[@indie9-931]

I was gonna take mine to a Skoda dealer until I watched this. Thanks

[@steffenbachle7052]

Thx you saved a Lot of Money for the people

[@RedBaron1619]

Sorted me out .... 2017 Skoda Superb. Took a few seconds. Excellent video 👍

[@sirpalappalainen5408]

Many thanks from Finland. I was just wondering if I have to call the service because the manual didn't tell anything about battery changing! You're great!

[@ajacpmcm123]

Really helpful. It solved the problem immediately. Thank you very much

[@richardcurson3780]

Made me smile to see that I’m not the only one to struggle with those really annoying battery blister packs 😂

[@MrMpytel]

Lately I even cut the blister through using exacto knife over the coint battery to get it out ;P Din't find a faster way

[@nadajurisa1329]

Simple when you know how! Excellent video

[@fevzihussein6967]

small but important job - because of coronavirus everywhere closed so thank you so much - very clear and now my key works again...yay!

[@ivankrylov]

0:30 -1:00 is all I needed. Thanks!

[@rvhextall]

Thank you! Simply rotated the screwdriver head in the groove and it popped the plastic cover off 😀👍

[@zacshepherd730]

Thank you for this, exactly what I needed😁👍🏻

[@leebridgeman5906]

Works perfectly, thanks for posting, did use a 2032 as advised they last longer.

[@LEGBAFPV]

it goes? 2025 is 2.5mm height and 2032 is 3.2mm height!

[@Waterieuxx]

@@LEGBAFPV yes

[@friendduck]

@@LEGBAFPV No its impossible 2032 is too fat.

[@fuhrerhosty]

@@friendduck What? I just literally put in a 2032 and it works perfectly.

[@mikkolehto2712]

I all so use 2032 it fits in

[@forreview1717]

If you do not have a CR2025 battery, the key's battery compartment has sufficient tolerance to hold a CR2032 battery. Win-Win situation. The CR2032 battery has a higher capacity and so will last longer before the next required replacement.

[@The_Rockstar05]

Oooh i saw it on the shop(2032) but i didnt took it because I thought it wont fit inside...

[@tarbyonlineful]

Mine had a 2032 in it from the factory. Had the car from new

[@timhames1]

Great. Thank you. My battery flew across the room too!

[@nornironman7879]

I put a brand new Duracell CR2025 battery in my key and it didn't work. Put the old battery on and it worked. It was then that I discovered the sticky protector label on the back of the Duracell. Worked perfectly once I had peeled that off!

[@lister1234]

There was a CR2025 inside but a CR2032 battery also fits

[@AhllamBagl]

perfect thank you for explain for my future reference ☺

[@tigrik0073]

Worked out perfectly .done it in 15 seconds thanks

[@itstherevolution]

Thanks man, very helpful!

[@kb-mx4ki]

Thank you... realllyyyy helpfulllllll... found in emergency condition .. and helped

[@vatamanescu123]

Thank you kindly, was really helpful

[@tarbyonlineful]

Thanks, though my Scala key had a Panasonic CR2032 in it from the factory. Maybe because its keyless entry and start they put the higher capacity battery in? Otherwise identical to this though. Thanks

[@danilie6742]

My Rapid from 2017 had the same CR 2032 Panasonic battery. Also a Ford Transit Connect had the same Panasonic battery. Maybe depend on the region with which type of battery cars are factory equipped. Romanian here.

[@danilie6742]

Are you happy with Scala? This will be the next company car, after Skoda Rapid. Could you tell 1-2 strong points and 1-2 weakness?

[@jure123123]

Like a glove :) Thank you man!!

[@konsul2006]

Tip: You can use the corner of the cover as a tool to pry out the dead battery. Also with a bit of force you can remove the cover by hand.

[@mmh4]

Thank you. Greetings from Germany.

[@ghostlyredfox]

How to actually open the key is at 0:40

[@Whizzo71]

Thanks for posting. Worked perfectly

[@MrBiorachanBeag]

Many thanks for explaining the footeriness o this! :-)

How do you clear the message on the display of the car, afther key battery change??

[@thewrongbike7709]

Works on a 2018 Superb but there seem to be several type out there.

Thank you brother!😊👍🤘

[@steveooutdoors9506]

You can use a 2032 battery too

[@polymerbitltd.8697]

Hello there, I'm looking for the type of screwdriver that will open the key. That small metal screw under the battery. Do you have idea what it is?

[@MrSK168]

Nice, Thanks for the tip!

[@nilsri9485]

Attention, for reset the Key you have to take a Button for more than 3 seconds, After outputting the old Batterie and bevor putting the new one in 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@macieja9438]

No, you dont have to reset anything, Just replaces the battery and it works

[@brendy7152]

Thanks for the help.

[@davidjfraser]

Good explanation, thank you

Thank you very helpfull

[@patrickdrake8415]

Spot on for your video

[@patrickayanouvi9349]

Please can somebody tell me why after I put the new battery, still showing the same text that I need to change the battery? 🤦‍♂️

[@cmalc]

If you replace and it's not working, check for a baby-safe sticker on the bottom of the battery, and remove it (of course). Just fell for this 😬

[@djindagi]

Holly molly, thank you for the advice, that was my issue ❤

[@rajmundkovacs4028]

Thx for the video! I changed the battery, but the error message "Change the key battery" is not disappeared from the screen, even the "Car status display " continue to show this error message. How to confirm the battery is changed yet?

[@JRCarReviews]

Rajmund Kovács car should recognize it

[@rajmundkovacs4028]

@@JRCarReviews Thank you for the quick answer. I just changed the battery also to an Energizer. After the first drive the error message rests on the screen. May it be that takes time to recognize the battery change? For example after the 2nd 3rd usage of the car?

[@stephx9759]

Thanks bro :D

[@vladmihai306]

why did you end up with the previous battery?

[@ondrejkasparek3631]

Evidentně neví, že po vyndání staré by měl aspoň 10s držet jedno z tlačítek, aby došlo k totálnímu vybití klíče. Protože pokud to neudělá, tak klíč bude hlásit vybitou baterií (ikdyž v klíči bude nová)....

[@mariokarabelj9157]

Pozdrav, u zadnjih 2 mjeseca promjenio sam 4 baterije, probao sam sa panasonic, Duracell, Varta, sve 2025 i za nekih desetak dana mi javlja da je baterija pri kraju, da ju promjenim. Neznam u čemu je problem, nitko mi do sada nije znao reći, znaš li ti možda? Hvala unaprijed

[@JRCarReviews]

Mario Karabelj možda nešto nije uredu sa pločom ako guta bateriju, jer je namijenjeno da radi koju godinu na jednoj bateriji. Put u servis po novi ključ. Ako je u garanciji nema troškova, ako nije, možda lokalni bravar može naručit jeftinije. Sretno!

[@mariokarabelj9157]

Josip Ricov hvala ti. Poslao sam mail sa upitom direkt u skodu.hr pa cekam da se jave povratno. I jos samo jedna stvar, dobio sam info da je baterija u kljucu punjiva a ne obicna, jel to moguce? Hvala

[@JRCarReviews]

Moja nije, možda je to nešto novo. Bilo bi super da je. :)

[@benlachuno1587]

Un grand merci 🙏

Hvala! 😁😁

[@oneshotrally]

put in a 2032 battery last three times longer than a 2025

[@palhod]

What about thicknesses? "The 2032 is 3.2mm thick while the 2025 is 2.5mm thick."

[@oneshotrally]

It's a squeeze but no problem

[@ShaamoneHeeHee]

@@palhod I replaced the battery with a 2032 Duracell and it was too thick to get past the small plastic clip that holds the battery in place, however the cover on the key fob does the trick and it seems to be working fine

[@danilie6742]

@@ShaamoneHeeHee same on me. Just press harder and it will hold the thicker 2032

You can use a 2032 as well which lasts longer than a 2025.

thx!!!! :D

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

Battery should last longer than 18 months, both my keyfobs have battery warning around 12 months.

[@davidjfraser]

My car 3 years 8 months and just changed battery, in both keys, strangely enough, one is brand new and hasn't be used, just kept as a stand-by. Perhaps battery deteriorates even though it is not being used.

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

@@davidjfraser my car is just over 18 months old and now also the car battery itself has failed and is stuck in dealership why they do a warranty claim. They are replacing the key fob batteries also out of courtesy.

[@mikkolehto2712]

If you have kessy key need more power than normal key

thx

[@MrRafaztar]

thanks! the 2032 doesnt fit just in case

[@fuhrerhosty]

It did for me lmao

[@MrRafaztar]

@@fuhrerhosty I will try again then, maybe I just didn’t put it properly

[@danilie6742]

Mine didn't fit under the small plastic holder, so I just press harder on the plastic case and all good. 2032 is a few millimetres thicker than the original 2025. I read that 2032 is more powerful and will last longer. Good luck

[@MrRafaztar]
