Cannot thank you enough for covering the valet lock at the end of the video. Watched 5 videos before this one that were a waste of time. Bought the car used for my wife and am not familiar with it. Trunk full of groceries and apparently when I was feeling around for trunk release button in the glove box in the dark accidentally locked it. Ice cream melted but everything else saved- thank you!!!

Thank you so much! At the end of the video you talked about that switch in mine was accidentally clicked to lock! My trunk is completely full so I wasn’t able to crawl through the backseat. You save me man!

DiY for f10 and If you don't have a starter or anything like that, I used my power drill battery. I put a regular cable on negative and one on positive, then positive to red in car and negative to a screw for grown, worked like a charm!

Hi Dylan, Thanks for the video. So by only connecting the wires to another car is not enough, the other car still need to be turn on? Because i connect my car to an external battery and another car's battery without start the engine, neither works. Am i missing the last step of starting the other cars engine? Thank you!

Love the name of the channel! You _almost_ saved me, but the opening is too small to even fit my head in. Plus, there's the canvas-like "bag" in the way of me seeing into the trunk.

[StevenMKifer]

You just saved my life with the lock in the glove box! My trunk's been locked for a few months and I had no idea why. There's nothing in there so I was like screw it🥴Now a brake light went out and I was freaking out. Turns out somehow, someway that switch got locked. Thanks for making a common sense video as opposed to going worst case scenario!!

so the boost under the hod will still work if the battery is disconnected in the trunk at the terminal (but still plugged din)?

[silviomessidelacruz]

This video just saved me rn lol. I disconnected the negative terminal to work on the car and my trunk closed. If it wasn’t for this vid I wouldn’t had been able to open it

[paulabulluck]

Wow!! I’ve been riding around for three weeks unable to getting into my trunk, but was going out of town and needed to figure out how to get back in there. Never paid attention to the valet switch in the glove box. 🤦🏽‍♀️ That worked!

Take the speaker out behind rear passenger head rest feel about and pull seat release this will drop seat, enabling you to get in boot. This works for bmw 1 series coupe 2011. I had fully disconnect the battery and the boot got shut by mistake and found this the easiest way to get in

[clusa]

I accidentally closed the trunk turning the key counterclockwise so, was left horizontally and the car Toyota Corolla 1998 1.8L at that moment had no power due to starter smoking and negative connector melted. Cannot fold backrest seat of 60/driver/40/passenger and lever does not work. Tomorrow will try again, this time the master key in ignition to ON and will lift the lever inside instead of running out to use the other key and try to open.

the last thing you said saved me thank you

[franciscoacosta]

Thank you for this video. I own a BMW G20 since 2019 but recently, when I was driving I noticed that the trunk opened spontaneusly. How did it happen? why? When this trunk was not properly closed, it just opened all the way. But in this case, the trunk was closed and it opened one minute after I start driving. Is there any button or control in the car cabin that I may have activated accidentally? I am thankfull in advance for your answer.

I have a 2017 passat the battery is dead and I cannot get into the trunk to get my jumper cables I am not seeing how I can go through the back seat either please someone help

[JSplainsFood]

Question: 2017 320i has neither of the first 2 options, and the third option doesnt work. This is after a front end collision with airbag deploy...any ideas?

[nsomasu]

Thank You so much the Valet lock information! It helped. Thank You!

[cliffordholifield]

Cracking video, heres my problem I got a 2010 plate E93, batteries completely dead no joy with the terminals under the hood, how do I get into the trunk to get acces to the battery??

[wilhelmbittrich]

Very good video, but what if you have a battery in the boot and can’t use a jumpstart pack?

[ae]

Hello, I disconnected battery on e92 with no keyhole. Closed trunk and the emergency trunk latch is broken/ missing. What do I do?

[miguelbaptista]

Just add the jump leads, even if the battery is not connected it will still send power enough to open the boot .
