There's a chance he doesn't know the way. Most people don't read the manual...

Some simply do not have the manual. More, I am pretty sure that my mp3 can open only rear trunk via key, not the seat.

If you can use a computer you can find an owner's manual online.

Did you read the manual and follow what it says? On my 2016 you have to press in on the key and turn at the same time.

Never worked... maybe that's because on my 250'2006 key opens only rear trunk
So please stop sending people to RTFM when don't know their model. Especially when it is not a question but a cool story about charging battery via spark plug's window.

And from inside the trunk you click the seat latch and the seat opens. The lock would be upside-down so the latch with the cable, would be to your left...

Once the trunk is open you can reach in and open the seat. Clown emoticon

Push the key the same way as to open the door to fill gas, but turn to left
