to OP - what MY Boxster? If it is an '00 or older w/ the manual release levers for the trunk, you can use a small flat headed screwdriver to slide between the two levers on the driver's door sill to manually unlock them. Here's how:

With a flashlight and skinny 3-4" long flat screwdriver (like one of those electrician promo ones handed out at trade shows...) slide it down between the front and rear levers. Under the front trunk lever, you'll see a U shaped cut out that will have a white plate over it. The white plate, when the vehicle is locked or doors are closed, slides over the U shaped cutout to prevent the levers from being raised. Using the screwdriver, slide the white plate from the outside of the car towards the center. Once it's clear, just pull up on the lever to release the trunk.


Good Luck

That's it!! I knew I had read something about this in the past and i'm sooo glad you posted it up. I've got my trunks open and key out. All is well. If I ever see you, I definitely owe ya a drink...or few. lol Much appreciated!!
