Manual Hood Release on the .1 models?
Where is it? I don't have my manual and I can't find anything online about my specific model. Seems like Porsche put the cables in different spots for different models for whatever reason.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately I don't think they put it in the manual. Page 210 is as close as I could find and that just relates to using a secondary battery.
I guess I'll have to ask the dealer.

You don't care about opening the lid, you just want to know!
Fine I'll play.. : )
You were probably thinking 996.. pulling the steel emergency cable hiding under the headlight?
I checked the workshop manual and can't find it for the 7 there.
But... here is a drawing, showing the position of the servo motor for front lid release, and as far as I can tell, the emergency operation bowden cable is located under the left wheel housing liner. (look arrow A_)
You will have to remove the wheel and then remove the liner to access it

No, I really do care and thank you for playing
Was considering something a little lighter in the battery department and I want to make sure I can get back into the trunk if it shuts itself down on me as it has a LVC circuit.
That looks like a lot of work to get to it. I wonder if I can extend the cable to make it a little easier?
Judging by the pic, do you think it might be easier to just pop the headlight out for access?

I have the manual switch in the cabin.
Headlight removal needs access and I don't think you can reach the cable like that .
FWIW the factory's emergency operation, using a secondary power source and feeding the fuse (directly to the lid motor switch) should open it even if the battery is disconnected or completely dead. We need to try this though. Leave the front lid open, remove the negative and try the emergency procedure..

I have a Li-ion one with a low voltage cut-off switch.

I saw it done at Sebring recently on a .2, but they had everything torn apart trying to find the cable so I'm not sure exactly how they got to it. It was def on the driver's side.

I've done it too. It def works. I used to have a B&D jump box till my wife threw away my power cord for it. It worked perfectly for opening the trunk with a dead battery. Maybe I'll just get another box and keep it in the trailer. I tried to get a new power cord for several months and gave up.
