My battery is totally dead, and the key is now stuck in the ignition. Now that it is this dead I can no longer get to the trunk to charge the battery. I called the dealer and they said they can't advise what to do, but that if I fed voltage to the fusebox directly, I could pop the trunk. Does anyone have any experience with this and know the fuse location to feed the car enough to do it?
Thanks in advance.

This was covered in a recent thread. There is a cover over the key release on the left side of the key, remove it first. Search for which direction to turn the key, can't remember off hand (thinking its to the left. Then insert a pic or paper clip turn the key the other direction. This might be in the owners manual as well.

There's a little cover on the inner ring of the ignition. Get a small headed flat screwdriver or a pin, and insert it into the little slot of the cover, I believe on the left side of it. Pop it off, gently. You will see two holes (placement for the cover you just took off) and a circular tab, in between the two holes, you can push in. You can use a ball-point pen, or an aux cable to push the tab in. Hold the tab in, and turn the key to the left; pull the key while holding it to the left.

Now you can open the trunk, charge the battery, etc.

Thank you for the help everyone. Just saved me a giant headache and probably a huge towing bill to the shop.
