Locked keys in Pickup

Afternoon all, locked my keys in the locker underneath the bed of my pickup. Both cab doors are open however. Where I can obtain a key code to have one cut? Is there one on the ignition column anywhere? Cheers

Doublecab or single. My doka has a hole in the wall under the seat base that lets me get into the locker?

It may be possible to "fish" for it with a magnet on a string from the engine bay side, going between the load bed and the firewall?

if the doors lock on the same key as the ignition then if original you should find the key number stamped on the fork on the door handle, so remove the drivers door handle and see if the 4 digit code is there, on the two prong fork that actually operates the lock on one of the prongs usually starts with an 8 iirc
then you have to find somewhere that has the VW key code book to be able to cut you a new key, unfortunately most VW dealers have skipped their old key cutting eqpt and the code books too
see thread on members about key cutting

That would be because your doka is a syncro. The hole is there to be able to store and access the spare wheel. In my Syncro doka there was a Spare wheel holder welded there. Because of the front diff and/or bashplate the spare wheel is not stored under the car as it is on a 2WD.
