My wife’s Tiguan was sitting on a parking lot with a dead battery (I’d left it with an interior light on, the ones on my car shut off automatically) and we could not get the thing open. We tried everything, and ended up calling AAA and waiting 3 hours for them to get there on a busy weekend night. They did the jimmy the window thing, and after many tries caught it interior latch to open it up

When she mentioned that to a dealer, the guy showed her the hidden mechanical key lock on the door handle. It was there, we just didn’t know it.

You might have one on your car and not know about it.

While he is right about the door latches Scotty is NOT the guy I would go to for car advice.

He thinks compression fittings are ok on brake lines. They are not.
