Thanks! I now remember having read about that feature a while ago.

So, this is useful in the scenario where: the battery has died and you have to be able to get to it, but can't open the trunk because you left the car locked and can't get to the frunk release, and you have to jack up the car but can't get to your jack or lug wrench, but you can still do all that. Correct?

Haha! reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where he bought a knife in a clamshell pack but needed a knife to open the clamshell!

I guess they expected you to get roadside assistance to do that.

Like I said, a lot of people, like me, re-routed it to a more accessible location.

I venture to guess that unless you own a 986, or similarly equipped model, no one knows about that release.

I ran mine to the passenger side front bumper duct. If you look closely you can see a little less than half the loop. There's no way in hell I'm going under a fender well to access it.

You're the only one that could steal it... or other forum members... for you know how to work on it. A regular Joe off the street, if he could steal it and eventually get it started... unless he had lots of quid he'd return it the first time it broke down. He'd be like, "$%#* it. Dude can have it."

However, I'm always up for a cup of coffee.

Haha! I really have no clue how I could start it even if I opened the frunk. But it would be fun talking about it over coffee.

Thank you for the inspiration! I'm going to get a nice custom sticker that will say:

OK, So you opened the frunk. Now what you going to do **********er?
