Hello guys, I am new here and I have a problem. I was out of the country for a month and during that time I didn't drive my vehicle. So yesterday I tried to turn it on, but the battery is dead, I tried with jump cables (2 different types) and again it was unsuccessful. I cannot access the trunk also because its locked, the vehicle is an Audi A4 B8 sedan, so I cannot lay down the backseat also. My keyfob is stuck in the ignition also, I pulled out the key but the fob is stuck there and I cant pull it out. With the jump cables, I waited up to 30 minutes and the results were only that a few lights were starting, like the stop when I press the breaks and the multimedia for a couple of seconds and long lights also. Do you have any suggestions or advice to me?

wow so that sounds like a mess lol ...

so you cant hook up the jumper cables to the posts in the front , even to pop the trunk ???

Yes, when I hook the jump cables to the plus and minus, I can unlock the other doors, in front or in the back, but the trunk is not reacting at all, its completely locked

Start the motor and drive your car for a bit. The trunk electrical magnet probably needs more voltage.

The battery is dead, I cant start the motor, the main reason why I want to open the trunk is to change the battery

JohnnyJ

Ok, then connect the battery you used as previously described and attach a good battery charger to it. Let it sit for as long as it takes.

maybe you have the valet activated ( button in the glove box ) if that is activated, the trunk wont pop.

JohnnyJ

What function has the valet button?

Do you find an emergency rear lid release UNDER the rear bench seat on the left (driver) side ? --g

Thank you Airbag, this is a nice tip, I will check that and let you know, most probably, I will do it tomorrow since, I am just starting work now, in any case do you have any other possible tips that can let me access the trunk in case the valet button is not the problem?
