Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Buddy....You're screwed If memory serves, you need to jump at the fuse panel and I'm pretty sure if the battery is flat, then you can't remove the key. C-Tek is your saviour - in fact it is a must with a 997 onward as too many gizmos. Good luck brother - good luck!
Attach negative jumper cable to terminal in fuse box and then press hood release button? Or find the manual release in the wheel well?
open door with key and read manual

Apparently the answer to that is, yes they (he is) are.
I have had this happen in my 997 ASS PAIN ............you need another separate battery and you hook it up to the terminal in the fuse box for this purpose with a jumper cable to the positive side of the battery ,,,,then you hook the neg side of the battery to the cars door lock pin to ground the circuit ,,,this then allows you to open the front trunk and get to the flat battery ...........It is a horses ass and you would think they would have a manual release or some sort of micro switch that works on very low voltage to open the front trunk ....As a result of this under engineered process I always make sure my car is on a battery tender ,,,,it only takes about a month and the battery gets to low to crank the car over ,,,,too much electrical crap dependent on constant power is the problem ....
^^^ What Raven says ^^^^ The fuse box is located just above your your right ankle joint. When you pull off the cover, there should be a multi-page circuit diagram listing the fuses and a picture of the pull out connector to attach the (+) side of your battery. The (-) side attaches to the door hinge or lock pin (or any good earth) - just make sure there is no paint or grease on the frame metal connection. Be aware that you cannot leave the key in the ignition for any length of time, that will flatten the battery within 24 hours - ask me how I know..... Failing all that, there (should) be a nylon pull wire behind the drivers front wheel well plastic cover - of course you need to jack up the car & remove the wheel and cover, but the jack and wheel spanner(s) (does it have wheel security bolts) are in the front boot !! Which is locked....
