Hell, and welocme to FixYa!

The remote comes apart, the front half detatchs from the back half, a small screwdriver is all you need.

The battery is easily removed once the case of the fob is open.

There is no need for any reprogramming once the battery is changed; the computer remembers the frequency of the transmitter.

SOURCE: reprogram 2005 Dodge Durango key fob

Go to the dealer. It is the only way, they have to use a computer. Changing the battery doesn't make it lose it's program though. You most likely broke the battery hold down. This is the most common thing I see at my shop. If the key still starts the vehicle, you now have a bad key fob. If not, you may be able to get it reprogrammed.

I have a 2006 Jeep grand Cherokee my key fob alarm stopped working put a new battery in it what else can I do

The key fob will need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle since when the battery was replaced in the key fob, the key was reset. This is why nothing is working with the key fob. After replacing the battery in the key fob remote, you will need to reprogram the remote to the vehicle

How to reprogram 2010 Dodge Charger key fob when battery replace

The fob should not need reprogramming. Changing the battery in it will not affect how the fob works. Even changing the vehicle battery won't have any effect on it. Fobs are Not normally reprogrammable, they usually need replacing instead.

Have new key fob for 1998 landrover discovery how to i program it to my vehicle

Unfortunately you don't.

It has to go to the main dealer or a suitably equipped automotive locksmith: reprogramming requires that the vehicle plus all keys/fobs which you want to use are presented for reprogramming together. If you forget to take along any existing fobs or chipped keys then they probably won't work afterwards.

How to reprogram VW Touareg Key to car?

You should not have to reprogram the remote if you are just changing the battery. I would first check to make sure you put the battery in correct side up. If that didn't work try disconnecting both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why.

Otherwise you can order a new Volkswagen key fob online at https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Volkswagen-Key-Fob-Remotes-s/1854.htm
