Try to hot wire the trunk release right below the steering wheel and just right in front of your left knee.

He said the motor is broken...with that being said hot wiring it would be a waste of time right? Idk what id do if i lost my key since i use my trunk everyday....only option i see without doing damage is calling a locksmith n getting a new key. Spend that cheese! Lol

Maybe do something with the back seat off and the metal piece that covers the gas tank off? I dont know how much clearance there is maybe you could do something that way? Good luck

Take you title to the dealer. They can cut you a key by the VIN. The title shows the proof of ownership they require for that.
