skoda octavia key fob reset procedure after battery change

skoda octavia key fob reset procedure forum question

A friend needs a skoda octavia key fob reset procedure after changing the coin cell. The blade starts the car, but remote lock and unlock are dead.

I found this related page while comparing notes: skoda octavia key fob reset procedure. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.

Would you check coin cell type, polarity, contact pressure, fob buttons, spare key behavior, door lock sync procedure, immobilizer light, battery voltage and scan data before buying a key?
