Picked up my 2016 GTI back in August. I started getting the "replace key battery" error in December. I didn't have a spare brand new battery laying around, so I removed one from a bluetooth speaker remote that I had laying around which I never use that stuck that in the key. Error message went away and stayed off. After about 2-3 weeks, the error message about replacing the battery returned. I figured that the battery from the old remote was just old and on its last legs (even though its never been used), so I went ahead and purchased an 8 pack of brand new batteries. Problem gone.
Fast forward to today, only 3 weeks after installing the brand new battery, and I am getting the damned "replace battery" warning again! I don't have a volt meter laying around to check the battery, but I can't imagine that its dead already. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
