Volkswagen Atlas Key Fob Battery (Usually CR2032)

Current US Atlas key fobs are commonly grouped with Taos and Jetta on a CR2032 coin in dealer notes. That is a shopping shortlist, not a reason to skip the stamp in your cover.

Shell notes

Atlas remotes in current US trim walks are typically Kessy-style pebbles. Open at the slot left when the hidden blade slides out. Seat one CR2032 unless the molding says otherwise. Skip CR2450 and A23.

After the swap

Lock and unlock once outside. Pairing does not reset when the coin changes. Door handles that ignore you while buttons still work can be a separate motion-sensor pattern—not a reason to buy a new key first.
