I'm considering displaying my Turbo at a car show and one of the requirements is to disconnect the battery and lock the car. Any ideas on how to then easily open the frunk to reconnect the battery? I have had to remove the from bumper in the past and don't want that level of hassle to display my car. Yes, I know about the wire behind the light.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

 

Buy a lithium jump starter and use it to power the locks from the driver side console.

 

I have one. Now I need to test it out.
Can you be more specific about where to jump from?

 

 

If you've never had to figure out how to open the front the "hard way" you are a fortunate guy!

 

"Leave the key in the door lock" make sure you follow that.

 

re-routing the wire so it lays flush into the headlamp enclosure remaining unseen until you fetch it out with a needlenose plier ( when necessary ) seems the most obvious and expedient solution. it takes all of 3 seconds to pull it and voila. open frunk. but you knew that lol

 

Attach something to the eye on the end of the cable that hangs down somewhere you can easily access it?

I managed to pull the cable with the right tire in place once (lug nut key was in tool kit in frunk). It was a pain in the rear but it worked.

 

i use a battery tender to power the car with battery disconnected. always firmly connected to the cables never a concern

 

Thanks for all the comments. I have to remove the battery and lock the car while my car is being displayed at the Washington D.C. car show.

 

I routed my cable to go behind the front side marker light, which is easy to pop out. Had to crimp on another 18” or so of cable.

 

I carry a small battery and alligator clips in my glovebox. I've had the battery die before and have been able to open it using a 9v radio battery, alligator clips and the pullout widget in the fuse panel. I would recommend a 12v battery, the 9v can be finicky (but it was in my drawer). This way you can always get the frunk open.

 

a 9v eh? never heard that before..good tip.
