While your Volkswagen key fob is built to last a long time like its many other carefully-crafted parts, the key fob can occasionally wear out after long term use. This can make it difficult to access your car when you’re on the go and ready to leap into the driver’s seat. That’s why our Volkswagen dealership near Glendale is here to help you figure out how to unlock your Volkswagen with a dead key fob, so you can get where you need to go. There are three different ways to get into your Volkswagen depending on the model, so you have multiple options to choose.
On Models With a Lock Cylinder Cap
Since some Volkswagen models have a protective cover over the lock cylinder where the key fits on the door handle, it can be hard to figure out how to enter the vehicle. We suggest that you place your key under the notch at the bottom of the cylinder, so you can pop off the cover. This way you can properly unlock the handle.
Volkswagen CC & Touareg Models
On Volkswagen CC and Touareg models, you must access the emergency key inside of the fob. On these models, there is no bayonet key. Press the button on the side of the fob and the emergency key will peek through, then pull the key ring loop to get it out and unlock the door. To start the car, you must place the full key fob in the ignition slot.
Other Models With Keyless Access
If your key’s battery is on low power and the push-button start isn’t working, hold the key fob against the steering column. Then, press the start button by your shift knob. If this still doesn’t work, or you prefer to have a professional take a look, visit our Volkswagen service center near Glendale for further help!
