Dead battery on 2001 xk8. Can't get into trunk to address battery problem and my key fob transmitter is non functional... Plan to buy new or used fob transmitter on ebay. Suggestions on programming? Plus getting into trunk
battery is dead?

Thanks

Open bonnet and locate the fuse/relay box ahead of LF wheel. Remove rubber boot from cable stud at one corner. Connect jumper cable or booster positive to that stud and ground the negative. That will give temporary power and allow the use of the button on the dash to open the boot.

Good luck!
