How to Manually Open the Trunk on an Audi A4 with a Dead Remote Battery

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Key

In this video, you will see how to manually unlock the trunk of an Audi A4 when the remote battery is dead: in the B8 version of this vehicle, the rear seats do not fold down, so opening the trunk from the inside is not possible. After several attempts, the YouTuber discovered that the rear seat cushion can be lifted by pulling it up from the center. Underneath, there is a cable with a handle that allows you to pull it to open the trunk from the inside without having to enter the trunk, since this operation is not possible due to the seats not folding down. As shown in the video, the trunk opens immediately.
