There was not an electronic release for the seat. Drilling out the lock is your best bet. You can see where my finger is there is a cable. If you pull that cable the hook will move back. There is no easy way. Not letting me upload a pic right now.

I couldn't get the seat open with any of the tricks I was given. Was just being tough and I didn't want to break anything.
Plus the top case being there made it a pain for alignment of any tools I was trying to use
So I gave the ignition lock I pulled to a locksmith, and he cut a key for it. Cost me $120.
I now have ignition and seat key.
Unfortunately, top case is a different key. So now I have to pay him to break into that and cut a key for it.

The top case is easier. The hinges are just held by cheap pins. All you need is a safety pin to push both of them out to the side. And voila you can open the top case through the back. Remove the clip that holds the barrel and you can take just the barrel to the locksmith or just buy a new one.
