Thank you! My trunk was locked, battery dead and My seats don’t go down on my 2014 3 series so I had to jumpstart. I was connected properly but wasnt holding down the boost button to trigger power. You saved me from being stranded! 🙏🏽

I’m doing the same thing and ran out of daylight and realized that if I close the trunk I’m screwed so I’m putting everything away and reconnecting the battery so I can open the trunk…a big mistake by BMW to not have a fail safe even though your idea does work!! People can panic in this situation!! Thanks for the video!!!

I don’t even have a BMW , I just love watching your videos lol. So informative

Burgess - you are the man! This gas been driving me crazy and I was ready to get the z4 towed. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your video!!!!

Few years late but, currently sitting in my wife's driveway late for a meeting cause I've done the exact same thing🤣🤣thank you bro your a legend might make it to my meeting now

Thank you thank you! Son disconnected the battery and accidentally shut the trunk. Thought he was SOL until watching this video

Thanks your video saved my day by showing the way to opening the trunk of my 1995 E38. Had already tried with a battery charger attached, but apparently that did not provide enough Amps. Inspired by your video I tried again with jumper cables and a battery - and it worked wonderfully. And this E38 has no other obvious alternative trunk opening options.

Saved my life at auto zone took my battery for a check and charge and I closed the damn hood like a idiot thanks homie much love

Mr Willis, thank you! quoted >$330 to open locked boot and replace battery. your video negated this. i very much appreciate you taking the time to upload this content with the intent to assist others. thank you again, all the best

You're a legend mate. Just locked mine out and this got it back open again.

You are the best !!! I was told to take apart the back seats, and belts to get in the trunk !!!! The little charger does the job !!!!! Thank you, Man👍👍🍾!!!!!!

You saved my life i used the same jump starter as you on my 420i f32 that i had my battery disconnected in the back and after forcing it made a spark and managed to click on the trunk button to open.

Thanks bro,I'm in South Africa,I accidentally closed the trunk after removing the battery,I didn't use the device you used.but I used the battery I removed and it worked.

Thanks a lot. I have an 18 M2 and did the same thing. Your video is the only one that showed exactly what to do.

Thank you so much. My battery in my 328i convertible went dead with the top open...haha...you showed where the connector for recharging the battery was under the hood and save the day. ❤❤

What a great and helpful video. I stored my X6, disconnect the battery, left the bottom floor hatch that covers the battery and lower storage stuck in the open position and is locked up against the closed tailgate. And because of this I’m unable to access the emergency latch. Called numerous BMW service centers in California and got no answers. Will definitely this and crossing my fingers it will work. Thank you!

Clutch move I just finished up installing my pulley kit, Belt and alternator on my e90 and this saved me thank you

Thanks it works on a 325i and I did it myself thanks to your instructions. Thanks a lot.

Yo thanks a lot for this video man really helped unlike all the other videos

Appreciate it bro my 650 batter died on me , This Really Helped!

A Life saver. This is the a much better solution than trying to get through the back seat that most other videos show. Thanks !!

Worked first time, excellent video thank you 👍🏻

Thank you so much 😊 you helped me open my trunk 🥰

Smart man appreciate you I was in the same situation 💪🏽🙏🏽

Thanks heaps…you got us in from Aus!! Good job

You are a Life saver, browsky

Had this prob 2day. Disnt have a booster so called recovery. Guy didnt have a clue so I showed him your video. He wired me up.... boom. Even he was chuffed to learn this trick. Nice one.

Thank you so much super helpful. Super easy to watch. Saved my bacon. Thank you.

Thank you for your video !!!!!!! 🎉🎉 I opened my car 👍🏽👍🏽

You absolute life and money saver. Thank you!!

Thanks Burgess. It worked perfectly.

Thank you. It worked perfectly.

Thanks man, very helpful - thought I was going to find out how to tear the car apart.

Thank you sir! Very helpful!

Oh man... Thank you so much for this bro

Saved my life thanks 🤘🏽

That was great, thanks for the tip

Lmao when you said “genuine boost” I died🤣 but Thank youu🫶🏼🫶🏼

great video very informative

This recently happened to me. I connected a standard battery charger to the terminals under the bonnet which was sufficient to power the electronic boot lock. This will save you buying a jump starter.

"Handy dandy". Interior light was on at the beginning. Wish my stupid car would do that with an unhooked battery. Or just carefully planned editing afterwards making sure the jump box idea had worked. Pretty sweet.

thank you so much your video saved us!!!!!

Thank you God bless you

Awesome, thanks

Great video! Just wanna ask that does it work for Cadillac ATS as well? Will there be a spark in the trunk when I try to jump start it at the front?

thank you this helped.

Thanks, brother- hopefully it’s going to work out tonight- fingers crossed

Can you also connect it to another car to do this or do you have to use thay same device with an override button. I am trying to use a jump starter pack but it doesnt work. The one i have doesnt have an override button.

Yes Sir...thumbs up!

You da man !

Did you have the (+) still connected? I disconnected both to change the battery and closed the truck; do you think this would work if both were disconnected? Thanks in advance!

Thank you!!!!!!!

My battery is disconnected and glad I found this.I had a towel over the latch but someone removed it and closed my BMW hatch. I am working on the engine. My question is will fuel spit out of the car with this method of boosting the power in the front as I have the fuel rail off right now?

This doesn't exactly explain if the battery is disconnected

Will this work even if my car battery is running low and car is starting but my 2017 m240 still won’t open I can hear it click but it won’t open

Would this work with a engine starter ?

I have 320i 2018 i disconnect my Bettary it gonna work ?

Does this still work if the battery is completely disconnected positive and negative?

Hey bro can i do the same by applying jumper cables just so it has current to open the trunk, i closed it after taking the battery out.

Hey Burgess it's me sophia 🙂

Finally 👍👍👍

Good I do the same I’m going to try that

I had that issue, on my Escape, even if you can get the door handle with wire, it will not open door, finally, I used a long thick wire, bought an inflatable shim air bag for $18 at Home Depot, inserted between door from top of door, and reached the hood release, took about 20 minutes but was able to pop the hood, and then jump the battery for a minute, and then I could use the metal key or press unlock from key fob.

You da man

Great video. I am in the exact same spot, except my bmw doesn't get any power when I hook up jumper cables. I am still locked out of my trunk. I'm thinking maybe I blew a fuse? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

Do yk if it works on a bmw 328i 2011?

thanks bro 😅

Will this help with 07 328i?

What brand is the charger ?

What if I lost my key fob? I got a locksmith to open the car and I’m sitting in here but the trunk button won’t work inside the car. I think the keys are in the trunk

U save me 😂 thanks i almost 😢

Dam bro I was having a panic attack thinking their was gonna be no way

Hey how is it going

I want to make a hole but do you know anything else I could do ?

I’m currently going through the same problem with my bmw ! But it’s not working, should I try using a more higher source of power such as my home boy truck via using power cables to send high currents into the car

I have a 2006 and experiencing the same issue, sad thing is both of the keys don’t even work. Cannot open the trunk. There is no access to the trunk through the backseat. I’ll give this a try.

I have a bmw 1m with the battery out , i tried connecting a battery to the front and couldn't open the trunk , but i didnt have the booster as the one you have on the video. Are you telling me that it will work even if i have the battery out , not connected?

does someone know if u can open it from the inside instead of the controller

I got a question how to fold down the rear seats from inside the car ,not from the trunk ?why wouldn’t they make a leaver or something to be able to pull down a seat from the inside 🤦🏻‍♀️I tried to figure it out but I guess no way :(

I tried it and I'm still locked out....2015 659i conv

I got the NOCO GB50 but it says I shouldn’t try jump start anything that isn’t a lead acid battery my Bmw m4 is Lithium ion. What do I do bro?

E60(08 528i) no battery in trunk,connected cables to underhood & still couldn't pop it..ugh

I bought this exact one after this video for my bmw f10 5 series and this does not work on my car

Tried it and it didn't work on my 2011 F10. Maan I am sooo screwed! Even tried it with the jumper pack you have with the override. No luck.

Just used it just now. BMW M6 it save me!!!

The question is how you open the trunk without jump ?

How much does the portable jump box cost?

It doesn’t matter if you battery is unplugged. Connect the jumper cables to the positive connection under the hood and ground the negative, and you’ll immediately get power to pop your trunk

I plugged in a noco battery charger and it’s been like hours and still dead battery :( I was hoping I can recharge it with battery charger not a jump start 😢

My key wont open my door. I thought the same thing but NOPE! Wont freaking open 😂 idk what i am going to do. Maybe break a small window 😳 😬

I’m sitting in my car now cause I did the same thing 😂

Ok so I'm in this SAME SPOT, I tried using jumper cables an it's STILL not responding, I don't see how that device is different then using actual jumper cables. But I'm gunna take your word for it my man. I'll be buying one of these

Hey man I’m in this exact situation. Problem is my key won’t work no matter how I try it in the door. I have no access at all to the car can you help please? Any link or advice ❤️

Great use for a jumper pack -- just don't store it in the trunk!

No it doesnt work with bmw 520 d bcz there is some another Wire which is Mounted on Top of + Sign ,then afterwards car will get power

I tried this on my wifes 328i hooked up to my 19 titan with number 6 jumper cables. Car got no juice what so ever

2010 128i convertible, it didn’t work.

Leave it to bmw to make this design

what to do when that is not an option ?

I left my keys in the truck
