This guide shows how to use the YANHUA Vtool 5C/5D Key Cutting Kits to safely disassemble the VW 5C Magotan key inner shell.
Preparation
Before starting, prepare all the required dismantling tools from the kit.
Important: The induction coil inside the key is very sensitive. Be careful during the whole process and do not damage it.
Step 1: Remove the Screws
First, remove the two screws from the key shell.
This makes it easier to observe the cutting position during the disassembly process.
Step 2: Fix the Key in the Holder
Place the key into the holder.
Make sure the white side is facing toward you.
Tighten the holder firmly to secure the key.
Step 3: Cut the First Weld Seam
Tilt the blade slightly.
Align the blade edge with the weld seam on the upper-right corner.
Use a hammer to gently strike the blade and open the weld seam.
Continue cutting left along the weld seam.
Note:
There are support posts at each corner inside the shell.
Do not cut too deeply — a shallow cut is enough.
Once completed, the first side is finished.
Step 4: Cut the Vertical Side
Stand the key upright and secure it firmly.
Tilt the blade again and align it with the weld seam.
Continue cutting carefully along the seam.
After finishing this section, move to the opposite side.
Step 5: Cut the Other Side Carefully
When cutting near the induction coil area:
Do not cut too deep.
The blade depth should be close to the height of the black edge only.
Continue cutting left along the weld seam until this side is completed.
Step 6: Handle the Induction Coil Area
Finally, work on the weld seam near the induction coil.
Attention:
Do not cut beyond the black edge; the induction coil may be damaged.
Carefully continue cutting the weld seam.
Step 7: Pry Open the Back Cover
Use a prying tool to gently open the back cover.
Then remove the keyboard board from inside the shell.
The VW 5C Magotan key inner shell disassembly is now complete.
