It's easy, but I was afraid of doing damage and was about to go to a Volkswagen centre. Very useful guide

The key generally is too sensitive mine just stopped working and it was not the battery and I had to open the car manually . I lost the spare key and a new one took 2 months to order and cost about 250 dollars ! Yes you read that right !
