Hi All, I have a 1995 X300 VDP in which I had pulled the battery to do some electrical work (clock) and had placed a piece of board in the trunk(boot) to keep it from closing. Unfortunately someone dislodged my board and I can't get into the trunk. Is there a manual cable inside the cabin to open the lid.

Why not just use the KEY?

 

As Bob says.

But if your key doesn't work (many are seized through lack of use), connect a battery with jump leads to one of the fuse box main power leads and a good ground point in the engine bay. That should do to power up the locks.

 

If your key doesn’t work, just drill a hole. When you get it open make sure the nuts securing the megafuses are tight.

 

Hi again, yes the key doesn't work(it hasn't been used in years). I don't think I going to drill through the back trunk to unlatch, I will try to power-up the relay first.

You don't need to drill. If you can't power it up, remove the number plate, and you'll find a couple of body-colored tapes over the lower number plate holes. There are threads here with pics and instructions how you can unlatch the boot through one of those existing holes. Do a search, you'll find you're not the first member to fail to utilize your key on the boot once/mo or so.....
