How to unlock a Volkswagen car when the key is locked inside?

Volkswagen cars generally come with two keys. If the car key is locked inside, you can use the spare key to unlock it. Alternatively, you can contact a locksmith company to unlock the car. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany.

That day when I was resting at the service area, I heard the crisp sound of the keys locking as soon as I closed the car door. I was so anxious that my back broke out in sweat, but luckily I remembered the Volkswagen customer service hotline. After calling, a locksmith arrived in half an hour. He took out a flat airbag, inserted it into the door gap, slowly expanded the gap, and used a hook to pull the inner handle, all without damaging the car paint. Actually, I had a key code box prepared in my car, but I forgot to stick it under the chassis. Now I've learned my lesson—I always put the keys in my pocket before closing the door. If you really need to handle it temporarily, try checking if there's a gap in the rear window to use a wire hook, but it's best not to force it yourself. Damaging the door lock could cost enough in repairs to buy ten new keys.

Last month when I picked up my child from school, I absentmindedly placed the car key on the passenger seat and locked the door. I first checked my pants pocket for the spare key, only to find that set of keys hanging on the hook at home. I immediately contacted the dealership where I bought the car, and they recommended a contracted locksmith company. The technician used professional tools and opened the driver's side door lock in just two minutes. He mentioned that Volkswagen doors have anti-pry designs, and attempting to force them open with wire might damage the sealing strips. Later, I purchased a magnetic key box to hide under the chassis and activated the remote control feature on the Volkswagen mobile app. Now, I can simply unlock the car with my fingerprint.

Last week, after returning from camping, I was so exhausted that I threw the keys on the seat and casually closed the car door. I called the insurance company and found out that my car insurance includes a free lock-opening service. The technician used an airbag to slightly pry open the gap of the passenger side window, then inserted a thin metal hook to lift the door latch. He mentioned that the central locking mechanism of Volkswagen cars is positioned lower, and poking around randomly could easily damage the wiring. Now, I've split my spare keys into two locations: a mechanical key in the office drawer, and a smart key stored at my father-in-law's place. In case of an emergency, straighten a paperclip into an L-shaped hook, wrap it with tape, and carefully insert it through the edge of the triangular window to hook the door handle.
