I've been struggling with this for a while and any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The car has been sitting for around a month now and I'm pretty sure the battery's done.
First off, my Porsche trickle charger is locked in the luggage compartment so I'm S.O.L. there. I have tried the method of hooking up a battery and twelve volt charger to the fuse box and door jam with no luck. How else would I get this thing open to access the battery?
Note: I've looked over a couple previous threads on this issue and unfortunately haven't made any progress.
Thanks, John

have you tried jumper cables hooked up to the fuse box and door jamb ?

I just got the 'frunk' open, thanks for the help. The jet ski battery I was initially hooking to the fuse box wasn't strong enough, but the battery from my M3 was
