I love these types of posts. I wish I could do that. Just spit out a statement with no details and click submit. And then watch, a bunch of people will come on here and try speculating and answering the cause of the problem without having a clue, and then arguing with themselves, and all the while the original poster never comes back. It's hilarious! I love humans.

I think you've covered that situation rather well.

Well if you have the factory keyfob the manual trunk key is what holds the fob on your key ring. Press in the button on the keyfob to release your blade style key, use this to open the trunk manually at the license plate light fixture. Look for the black plug with a key embossed in it. We were ALL once new here so have a look around, with your XF being a 2009 I'm sure well be seeing you again so welcome.

Well, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt just this once. He couldn't put his laptop computer in the trunk because it wouldn't open so he left in the back seat instead. But some thief saw it through the window and because he couldn't lock the doors, stole it.
Now the OP has no way to get back online. ![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

My jaguar has the same problem with the trunk. Pretty sure its the boot but the trunk it sealed and seats are locked . Master key doesn't work and neither does the emergency key thing . Car has about 117K miles . Currently in Washington.
Trunk has opened randomly but hasn't happened for about 6 months now. I'm aware of removing the rear seat but would like to pointed in the write direction for a DYI

I, too, am locked out of my 2010 XF trunk. The battery had run down, and I used the metal manual key to open the trunk. I connected jump starter and tried to start the car, but with no luck. I then shut the trunk while I went to get another jump starter from the neighbour. When I tried to open the trunk using the key again, it did not open. The key turns, but there is no clicking sound at all. I then removed the rear seat base, but there appears to be no emergency release cord

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
