Hello all.I know this is a delayed response but I wanted to follow up on my post. I was able to get into the rear trunk and repair both the emergency cable release and the inside car/key fob release cable by entering an opening on the left side by the taillight. I used ferrules, wire and a crimping tool to make a new emergency cable and attached an extenstion to the existing frayed and snapped inside/key fob cable.

I replied with pics to others on another board who help me out. Its a long post so I hope its ok to post the link.

There is no outside trunk release. On some of the older cars (late 90's) you used to be able to pull the cable by hand and pop it open, but not anymore becuase they are electronic and not cable-actuated. You're out of luck my friend.

Break a window, have it towed, get a new key cut, or call a lockout service. The guys below are mistaken, there is no cable in the wheel well to release the trunk. I hope you didn't spend an hour jacking the car up, taking off the wheel and rooting around for it. It doesn't exist.

So, the rear trunk wouldnt open. Had to get physical. Heres how to find it. Download Street Fighter 4 Volt Android. (its behind the heatshield) shot n.

Breaking a window might cost a couple hundred (unless your insurance has glass coverage), but so would having it towed or calling a lockout service. A broken window won't prevent the car from starting. The Pelican Parts photos are of an older Boxster. It's not the same on an 06 911. I love the thumbs down from people who don't know what they are talking about. Hey Designer, your car does have a interior motion sensor, but if you do break a window, it will set the alarm off, but the car won;t go into a lockdown mode. You'd just have to shut the alarm off with the key or remote once you got it out of the trunk.

Enjoy that Turbo S. We just sold a tweaked up 2005 with about 650 HP.

Nasty, nasty,nasty. You should have a second key, but if you don't you'll at least need the code from your ownership materials to get a key cut -- and about two weeks because they have to send that to Germany for a key (in theory). Break a window? That would be many hundreds if not thousands of dollars to fix, and I'm pretty sure the car would refuse to start after you broke the glass -- they go into lock down mode (Porsche used to call it the Porsche Block System).

I think a lockout service is the only way to go, and I'm not sure how the car is going to like that either. The 'Emergency Trunk Release' is. In the trunk, to let kids locked in there get out. The only manual emergency release on the cars is for the fuel filler flap; it's a little ring you pull, located inside the passenger door frame -- in case the central locking system opens the door, but not the filler flap. ADDED: I stand corrected -- possibly; this is not in my Owners Manual, which I've read cover to cover. Despite the fact that the release is electrical, there does appear to be an emergency cable release, at least on a 2007 ( - 2 photos).

You can get to it after you dismantle the front end of your car. A note of caution: don't work under your car with just the emergency jack holding it up, or even a floor jack. Get some jack stands and keep them in the back seat of your car, along with your tools and a jack, to always be prepared for this problem. REMEMBER to remove all of this equipment BEFORE locking your car with the keys in the trunk.

I'm with the Sales Manager on this (including not appreciating the thumbs down): even if there is a cable to pull, it's obviously meant to be an in-shop procedure. Look at the photos (my link actually works), which sort-of claim to be applicable to a 2007 Carrera 4S; you're going to do this to your car on the side of the road? My car has an interior infrared motion detection system. I believe that if I broke a window and reached inside to unlock the car that system would not only set off the alarm, but lock down the car. However, you can lock the car and leave the infrared off by hitting the key fob button twice in rapid succession.

Besides remembering to remove the equipment you need to get to the 'emergency cable trunk release,' REMEMBER to always disable the infrared system in your car in case you need to break a window after you've locked your car with the keys in the trunk. Wmv Plugin For Virtualdub Missing Codec more. Source(s): I own a 2005 911 Turbo S. I demanded a second key when I bought my first 911, a used 1996 coupe, from the Dealer. They sent to Germany, it took 2 weeks, and when the key came, it was totally fubar. THEN I and the salesman went down the street to a key shop and got the only key copied, which worked just fine.

However, the new keys, like the one for my 2005 and your 2006, include a chip that the car must recognize. I'm pretty sure you're going to need to get a second key from Germany.
