Is the type of battery and way to change battery on key fob similar to the MK7 Golf key fob?
Yes, same battery and similar way to change it. The fob itself is different so you have to ‘eject’ the key blade via a hidden button and use it to lever the cover off. You also have to be careful it all goes back in exactly as you found it or the blade doesn’t slot back in tightly if the spring clip isn’t 100% in the right place. If the blade isn’t in properly it’ll come adrift from the rest of the fob in your pocket or bag eventually I’d imagine.
The pic shows how the blade sits if the spring clip isn’t seated correctly.
I used the spare key to compare and ensure the blade went back in tightly after taking that pic.
