How to unlock the rear hatch of the Volkswagen New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Body

In this video we can see how the Volkswagen New Beetle has the ability to unlock the trunk from the outside with a security lock. In fact, all modern cars have the ability to open the trunk from the inside, because they can fold down the rear seat, and even the smallest cars have enough space to allow the owner to "squeeze" inside and open the trunk. This is impossible on the New Beetle due to its design, but there is still a way to unlock it. In fact, under the "W" emblem on the rear, there is a small space that hides a lock that can be opened with the car's ignition key.
