your trunk pop button by the steering wheel not work either? crawl thru your back seat and pull the emergency latch.

Open the hood, hook up a battery as it you were boosting it, press release button on fob or dash. ..trunk should pop open.

Yeah theres a positive battery post under the hood. You can hook up a charger to that and put the negative on the block or chassis.

Here's what I would do if your key don't even work, take a lighter... Pull down on the ignition for the lighter and start the flame, put key in flame, heat key up "not red hot" and slide into lock. Unlock car..

A friend of mine had the same problem. If your arm is long enough, you can reach between your seats to let one of the seats down and then crawl in the trunk and pull the emergency latch to get the trunk open. I've done it and I know it works. Hope this helps.
