Hi Guys,
I have been looking at this forum for a while and using it for reference.
Now i have a problem.
This evening I managed to lock the keys in the car.
The car is in a secure location so its safe that way, but the keys are in the ignition.
I know the locks are electronic and dead locks but can I get in?
Should i use a wire hanger or the likes to try and pop the door lock?
Or is that futile?
Also I have been reading that the car may be imobilised if I do something stupid.
Since its a commercial I can only break a front window if I have to, bu i see that as a last resort.
I am an AA member so maybe I could use them.
Any advise is hugely appreciated as I need it for work on Monday and its now late Sunday night.
Cheers.

No spare key?
If not, call the AA

Seeing you are in Dublin.... Reminded me of an incident I had some years back (2006) when my 6 week old VW passat decided, through no fault of mine, to lock itself with the keys in the ignition, and me on the outside.
The problem being my 3 week old (first child) daughter was asleep in the back.
After phoning the dealer, they could have a new key 'tomorrow' I phoned the AA. The car was parked at my parents in North Donegal, about 3 miles from my house in Northern Ireland (and one mile on the wrong side of the border). When I advised the AA I was in the Republic of Ireland, they put me through to 'European Assist', who kindly offered to send their nearest AA unit - from Dublin - some four and a half hours minimum away!!!
Despite my explanation of the situation, and my now panicking wife's near hysterics.... They would not budge and send a unit from NI..... I canceled my membership the next day.
Long story short.... Back to the phone to the dealers, they were nervous about breaking a window with the baby in the back so went the three miles back home and smashed my garage window.... Into the house and got the spares..... Mad dash back to the parents.... Wife still hysterical but baby still asleep.  thank fck....
VW traced problem to a faulty relay on lock electrics and replaced under warranty ..... They would not pay for my new garage window!
