If you own a Volkswagen and have an iOS device running the latest software, you will be able to instruct Siri to unlock the vehicle for you.

Volkswagen announced that its VW Car-Net app has been integrated with new Apple features allowing users to interact with their vehicle using Siri.

With iOS 12 on Apple devices, owners can now instruct Siri to unlock their vehicle, check estimated mileage, and enable the Flash or Honk & Flash commands. All one needs to say is, " Hey Siri, lock my car".

In addition to locking or unlocking, there are a bunch of other Siri shortcuts such as start/stop for charging, defroster, climate temperature, and a "where is my car" command.
