How to: pop the front trunk and jump your Porsche 992 911 with a dead battery.

Please read carefully, this video requires a minor bit of mechanical know-how to perform and could cause damage to the car if done improperly. Please watch the video in full before attempting, and if you have any doubts, have the car towed to a professional certified Porsche shop.

So the first step allows you to gain access to the front trunk or "Frunk" to then access the battery.

This video saved the bacon this evening. 992.1 Targa 4 S arrived with totally dead battery on the transport. Got it figured thanks to this video.

Note for those out there who followed the video and find it doesn’t work, the answer is: use the door lock hook as negative to get trunk open!
I followed the exact same steps and it didn’t work for me then i use the door lock hook as negative and it worked like a magic!

I locked the front trunk after taking off the positive wire of the battery because I will travel for a month! Kayman 2015
Is that video will help to open it or what should I do ?

What you critically fail to mention is the use of the key (within in the remote control) IF you have KEY LESS entry. Using the short stumpy key is NOT easy to open the drivers door.

Here’s a silly idea. Why doesn’t Porsche just install a manual release lever under the dash?
