How to open and start your Volkswagen even with a flat remote battery

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

Let's see how to get into your car and start it even with a flat battery in your Volkswagen. All vehicles, even those with keyless entry, have a security key inside the remote.

Simply open the remote and take it out of its housing. On the driver's door, under a plastic cover, there is a physical lock.

Use that to enter the car. Now, to start it, don't panic: place the flat key on the right side of the steering column, where you see a small key symbol, and press the start button. The vehicle will start regardless.
