I dont understand, as soon as I open my drivers door there are two pull handles to open front trunk and rear trunk. You guys dont have these?
In newer Boxsters the release is electronic, there are switches in the sill where you have levers. If the battery is dead you need to get to the release cable or attach a 12v source to the connector in the fuse box. You can also trickle charge for a while through the cig lighter to get enough power in to the battery to allow you to release the trunk.
You can also remove the drivers side wheel well, and grab the actual hood release cable that runs through there, and pull on on it. It will pop the front latch.
are you sure its the drivers side or passenger side............
also my porsche dealer ( i spoke with a different service advisor) says that i can get a battery pack and get power to the fuse box and open it like this. even though my battery is not in the car..i'm gonna try this route first.
the next problem is that i can't really take the tire off, because the lock nut is in the hood. blunderrrrrr so is there enough space to get my hand in there to find the latch without taking off the tire............

Do you have access to another car so you could tap in to its battery? If not a lot of auto shops have those portable starters they will loan you maybe, otherwise a $10 car battery charger from a store should do it. In my 03 there is a special terminal in the fuse box where you attach the 12V then you attach the negative to the door hinge and you should be all set to release the trunk lid.

The actual hood cable you can grab and pull is the drivers side. The emergency release is on the passenger side.
