I was pleasantly surprised to find a pull cable mounted on the rear. Hope yours has one for front. Everyone should look today!

So I finally was able to open the Frunk - Keyfob worked better than the switch.

connected the Jumper Cables as prescribed in the manual.

No funny notifications as before now. Porsche logo comes on the display/Navi screen and radio comes on. Was able to close the windows back up.

Used the jump-start procedure as described. Nothing happens (well looks like some solenoid activates - click sound - and the screens go blank.

Maybe my VW Jetta IV battery not too strong to jump - Will try my XC90 ones - but bummer - the battery of that machine is in the back !

Will keep a lookout for more advise...before biting the bullet and calling someone to help!

Any Plano TX owners here who can help? I don't have an OBII

OK - Finally my XC-90 battery was able to jump start the car and I was able to jump start the car - idled for a few minutes and drove the car around for about 3-4 miles. Back in Garage, switched off the car and tried to start again - same problems!

Maybe need to take it to Autozone to have battery checked and alternator evaluated.
