I have a 2019 Tiguan and my key fob isn't like this. The fob has a button and the key part slides completely out. So I was able to just use my fingernail and pop off the back cover (after seeing where the battery is in this one) and it's a 2032 button battery. Hope this helps someone else maybe!

2032 is thicker than a 2025. The 2032 will not stay seated in the slot but you can still use it in the fob with the cap holding it in place😂.

I followed other tuber instructions for my 2019 Canadian 2032 batter and it definitely does not fit. The 2025 is the correct size.

I have a VW 2019 Tiguan. This is the worst fob I have ever had. Battery lasts about 5 months, the 2025 battery. I have been locked out of my car 3 times with my kids, terrible VW Fob. The pop out key doesn't work on my door to open manually. So I now walk around with a spare battery in my wallet. VW can you please put a warning light on the Fob and give me a cut for my R&D idea.

I have the same fob and all my other fobs used 2032 size batteries, so that's all I had on hand. I took out the 2025 and decided to try the 2032 as it's just a pinch thicker and it worked. The back went on no problem. The key fob is fully functional since the 2032 and 2025 batteries are both the same voltage.

I just purchased a 2019 Tiguan in Aug 2023. I had to replace the batteries. I used these instructions to replace. I however only had a 2032 battery. No problem. I had to use the FLAT head screwdriver to hold the battery down as I manipulated the cover into place and press the cover down. If you don’t hold it into place you risk bending or puncturing the battery or even breaking the cover.

CR2032 is the most common battery. My 2013 Passat uses a CR2032 and I know the 2017 also uses a CR2032 but apparently at some point they moved to CR2025. Differences: CR2032 = 20mm wide x 3.2mm thick, CR2025 = 20mm wide x 2.5mm thick. Both are 3v nominal, the 2025 is just a bit thinner and has slightly less capacity. I used a 2025 in place of 2032 and had no issue as the contacts reached. Once your battery is around 2.80v it prolly still works butt should be replaced. New voltage depends on the cell but in general you want to see 3.10v or above.
