The fun part of electronic trunk releases. There is a way to open the trunk from outside. First you need to remove the license plate, Then you drill a hole through the trunk 4 inches directly above the trunk latch. Now you can reach in with a screwdriver and release the latch. Video on the drilling method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAmJ8YhWt4o
If this is a US car with the plastic plate mounts the mounting holes are in a position where you can use a hooked wire (coat hanger works) to reach in and do the same. If you remove the plastic inserts on both sides you can use one for a flashlight while the other in used to fish for the latch. It isn't fun but it isn't real hard either way.
