Default How to start engine with battery dead and trunk lock broken?? Help!

A8 -97 battery dead and trunk lock broken. Does anyone know how to connect electricity somehow to get trunk open??? Tried WAGAN SelfCharge Auto Jumper, but that was too weak to get charge enough. All help very much appreciated!

Have You tried this? I was afraid of connecting 12V directly, in case of damaging something. :-)

Tried to pop the unlock button with the Jumper, but no success. Too little voltage... But I´ll try with another battery directly. Thanks for your tip! Appreciate it! :-)

Just ordered a new lock from "stealers": 176 EUR=257,85 US :-( (pretty much for one lock)

Default Battery dead, trunk lock won't open manually with key!! Please advise!!

Hey guys,

My 97 A8 battery died, and I went to give it a jump this morning, but the trunk won't open manually with key. I did push the trunk lock in, with no luck. The key will not turn clockwise or counterclockwise. Any suggestions out there on how to open the trunk to access the battery? The manual trunk release button on the inside is not working either. Please help!!
