lost keys

[Cody Forbes]

The new V-Dubs have no key hole at all. Not on any door, not on the trunk, and hell not even next to the steering wheel (push button start). If you need to unlock with a dead battery or broken remote you have to pry off a door handle plastic part to reveal the key hole in the drivers door.
