Can’t unlock door with key fob. Only 10,000 miles on car. Also, can’t figure out how to open car manually with key.

Apparently the key slot in under the door handle but a phone call to your local dealer will verify that.

Does your door handle look like this? If not then call a lock Smith. Then immediately drive to dealer to have it repaired under warranty. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/c/3c13c7837819d8d7b540a2c9863afef4e4b16107.jpeg)

Was curious about no key holes in any doors of my 2014 Tiguan  
Owners manual showed the key hole on the drivers door is covered by a decorative trim. Pry it off and insert the key
