How to Open the Volkswagen Passat B7-B8 with a Flat Remote Battery

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Key

In this short video, let's see how to open the car in case of emergency when the remote battery is flat; in this case, on a Volkswagen Passat B7 and B8. To open the car, first remove the physical key from the remote; then pry open the cover of the opening handle (there's a small designated hole at the bottom) to remove it, as shown in the video. At this point, you will be able to open your car by inserting and turning the key in the lock; you can also perform the same operation to lock the vehicle.
