Put a spanner on the little piece sticking out at "top right". Turn spanner and the elbow on the left goes up and down. Elbow fits in the jacking hole of the bus. :D

You have to charge it first via the mini USB port at the back, then raise or lower it with your autmatic garage door opener, provided that it is set on 'jack' mode

Note also that it has sort of a square fitting that fits into another, bigger, square thingy attached to the car. Being a square fitting, the jack may fit there in different positions. So also make sure it's not upside down or sideways in there.

On the car, you will also find another fitting that is more round. A beetle has 2. Do not stick your jack in there. That is the exhaust pipe.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

Might not be the most epic of finds, but my first and it sure does feel good getting VW bits where you least expect to find them!
