heard of a trunk cord. but it is easy to remove bottom seat cushion to see if there is one. there is a lever on the base that you pull to unlatch it.

are you using the key with the rectangular top part? the one with the oval is the valet key and doesnt open the trunk.

really this problem could be had by a guy or girl so ignore the other comments.

good luck.
