The remote locked but would not unlock the car. Reprogramming did not help. After a battery change my 2002 Passat key remote immediately worked again. Thanks for the disassembly photos.

Reprogramming is a cinch:

Hold the “unlock” button on the fob while you manually open the door. Then start the car. That's it.

The car I used this method on was a 2001 Passat.
