Guys, I’m having the worst luck with this. Can’t even get the ****************ing wheel off. Is there some trick aside from taking all five lug nuts off that I don’t know about on this Boxster S?

I don’t even know what I’m looking for, am I getting warm?

Here's a way to open it if the battery is completely dead, but it requires taking out the driver's seat and disconnecting the immobilizer box.

That was a nightmare, but at least I finally got the windows rolled up.

Between the headlight and front trunk well.
Maybe use a mirror to see if you can see it up in there?
