Before you can begin, you need to open the physical key of your Volkswagen Tiguan. Start by inserting the tip of the physical key into the lower slot located in the smallest section of the driver's handle.

Once done, lever it open. This will remove the outer cover of the lock.

At this point, insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise. Once you have completed this step, you can open the door and enter the cabin, and you will be finished.
