How to access the secret compartment of the Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017

Today we will explain how to access the secret compartment of the Volkswagen Polo. To access the compartment opening, we must get into the car and sit on the driver's seat. We turn the light switch knob counterclockwise three times in a row; then we pull it outwards to access our compartment. To close the secret compartment, simply insert the light switch knob and turn it clockwise three times in a row. This operation is valid on many Polo vehicles that have the same compartment and are from the same year.
