    I have a huge problem. I hope that there is anybody out there who can help me.
    I turned off the battery in autumn and I will turn it on now, but I have closed the trunk and I can not open it without power of the battery... so is there a chance to find a switcher to open it without power like an emergency release??

    Hi-
    I own a 360 and in my car there is a small cable under the driver's side dash which will release the trunk. I often use this when I am outside the car so I dont have to get in and operate the electronic button.

    I am not positive that the F430 has this feature but you can easily check it out.

    Hi Peter-
    Greeting from California. I have visited Salzburg several times. The lakes around the Salzkammergut are lovely.
    There are also a few other hidden small wire releases you should know about: in the fuel filler area is one for the engine lid and along the right front wheel well is a small loop release for the trunk safety lock lever.

    Another option would be to charge your battery through the cigarette lighter (depending on if the lighter has been wired to the battery directly or through you ignition key)

    the manual was in the trunk during the winter- so I can`t read it and find a solution.

    Wouldn't it be much better to hook up a battery tender?

    Now you've got to put the codes in for the radio, etc. a real pain. Use the tender, plugged into the lighter.
