I have been there.

It is very possible to have a person use a lock out kit and open the car. They would use the tool that slides between the glass and convertible top. Once the tool is in the cabin of the car, the door handle can be pulled and you are in. From there, a simple trunk release can be done.

I would call your local towing company or roadside assistance provider.

Best of luck.

Hi thanks for the reply, but you can't do that as the doors are dead locked, but i have managed to get in without needing to remove the bumper or messing around with the emergency cable Thanks anyway

The Boxster has an emergency cable release for the Trunk just as it does for the 'Frunk'. It's up under the bumper cover on the pass side. May take some searching, but it's there. Locate and pull and you're into the trunk.

I noticed mine was on the driver's side (red arrow pointing to it in the picture below), when we took off the rear bumper to install my Dansk exhaust. I have no idea how you could get to this wire without taking the bumper off, but I guess you can try to fish it out by taking off the rear wheel well.
