Default Battery Disconnected and Trunk Is Locked

I accidentally closed my trunk with my battery disconnected. I have a 2012 XJL is there anyway i can get in there without getting it towed to the dealer. U have already tried the jumper cable method and it doesn't work. Thanks

So you pull a metal key from you key fob. Open door. Open hood. Jump start the car. Open trunk.

Or remove the rear number plate and put the key in that lock.

Thanks...it worked. I was pushing the trunk button on the car and not using the key fob.
