on my 987CS I was never able to open the front trunk following the factory recommended steps (through the fuse box) when I needed it.

but I read HERE :-) that applying 12VDC to the cigarette lighter, you would be able to open the trunk using the trunk button...

The first time I wrapped a Phillips screwdriver with electrical tape (to avoid possible contact with the sides of the lighter (grounded to the chassis) and only touched the center of the lighter and clamped the + side of the jumping cables to the top of the screwdriver and the negative side to the door hinge.

It worked so well, that I found an old 12VDC light assembly (with a connector for the cigarette lighter) cut off the light portion and used only the connector side and whenever in need you can connect a jumping cable to the open wires and open your trunk.. I keep this gizmo on the passenger arm rest compartment just in case..
