How do you unlock a car when the fob wont work?

Try holding the fob right next to the door handle when pressing the unlock button. If it unlocks the door, the problem may be a weak battery in the key fob, or a problem in the keyless entry antenna or wiring. The key fob itself could be defective or have a bad unlock button.

What does it mean when your keyless entry stopped working?

Can you lock your Touareg in the back?

I think the only way the Touareg will detect the key in the car is with this option. Nope, you can lock your key in the back, but you can’t lock your key in the front for the front driver door lock will not lock with the door button. Never lay your key down on the back.

Why is my key fob not working on my Touareg?

(Like if it’s in a pocket or purse, and is pressing against some other object unknowingly.)

What happens if you forget the CCM on your Touareg?

Unlock it with the key and start the TOUAREG within 15-seconds – or the alarm will go off. Once the vehicle starts, the key and ‘T’ talk back and forth to each other and the car remembers the key again. It may happen to you again. If it repeatedly happens, you may need to have the CCM replaced.
