This procedure works on the VW 'switchblade' style key fobs. These key fobs are rectangular with a button on one side. When the button is pressed, the metal key flips out into the straight position, similar to a switchblade.
To replace the battery:
1. Press the button to flip out the key.
2. Turn the key fob so the metal key stick out to the right and the channel that the key fits into is facing you. (The VW logo on the fob will be facing up)
3. Look closely inside the channel. It is split vertically. On the left hand side of the vertical split, it is also split horizontally.
4. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the vertical split and twist. They key fob will split along the vertical line separating the battery compartment (on the left) from the key (right).
5. The battery compartment (left) can now be pried open along its horizontal split.
6. The replacement battery is a 3 volt CR2032 lithium 'button cell' and is commonly available.
7. Replace the battery with the + side facing down.

Note that crack in the fob on the logo side. Make sure the key is folded. Firmly grasp each side of the crack and pull so that it will pull into two pieces. The battery is in the piece with the buttons on it. On the side opposite of the buttons, detach the cover holding the battery. This should be the side with the VW part number. Replace the battery and assemble the key back together.

Vw key fob light stays on?
I have a Toyota, and my key fob light stayed on also. I called the dealer, and they said the button on the fob was stuck down INSIDE the fob. So, I simply unscrewed the screw on the back of the fob, opened the fob, then put it back together. The fob was fixed. I didn't have to fix anything in the fob.
