2011 vw passat trunk is closed; can't get it open!

Hi,

Please double check that you're purchasing the key fob from either VW or a different brand than the one that gave you the error. I'm guessing the brand that you have is making defective key fobs otherwise, the new fob should have worked.

Thank you.

i don't know. to save cost and time, please consider having proof of vehicle with you and drive to a VW dealer or locksmith.

Access the trunk from inside the car by putting the back seat down if it goes down or remove it. There's a emergency release inside the trunk

Ther is a lock at the driver door. The plastic cover where the key insert slot should be pulls off. A lock smith will have a master slide set that would be able to unlock the car. You can access the boot by opening the split fold down rear seats.

Video isn't working. Check in your owners manual, you might have a lever inside the trunk or area really close to the door.

this always happens to my 06 passat when its really cold, im talking 0 or lower. i try not to open the trunk in the winter if i can help it. Its annoying but in the summer i have no problems. I have herd of alot of other people having this problem, VW knows about it and dosnt think its a recall item for somereason, look for your fancy gas door to not open next, i know of 3 people that started having trunk problems and then the fuel door stopped working, not sure if it has anything to do with it or not. but It happend to me and now i have the auto fuel door disconnected from the inside of the trunk.
The trunk issue isnt anything big to worry about it seems intermittent. I found latches and there a little pricey thats why i just deal with it.

piece of plank type wood and then wack it with a 14lb hammer back into shape

If I stand correct the security system when functioning when remote locking is executed the horn and parking lights should sound and flash once unless there is an open door, hood, trunk lid and the lights would flash but no horn confirmation (beep) Does this happen when manual locking the car with the door lock mechanism?

Hi
Wiih most radio units....If you have the proper code and have NOT tried more than 15 times to enter an incorrect code....you should be ok.
Turn OFF ignition switch and remove the key. Switch OFF interior lights. Switch ON Radio unit and SAFE will appear.
Leave everything alone for a period of ONE HOUR. During this time NO power (no matter how small) should be drawn from the battery. This is why the interior lights MUST NOT come ON when the door is opened. Trunk should also remain closed. In the event of any power been drawn from the battery in this time...You must start all over again.
Radio should after this time return to standard mode...Usually 4 flashing bars. Then enter your code. Dont forget to lock in the code and all should be fine
All the best with it
