Only have Key-Card. Battery is dead , Im Fu..ed. HELP PLEASE
Gone to all this trouble to get away from my girlfriend for a couple of days. Gone to pick up my 55 that was waiting for me in a garage I noticed approaching the car it wouldn't do ****
No response at all. Nothing. I have this car for 2 weeks now. Have waited for it for years and now this crap.
Since the alarm didnt go off and nothing responds, i figure i left some light on or something on the inside
Now the problem is, i only have a key, (the original electric one) and two cards.
I see a key hole by the door handle and the trunk has the same too. Looking at my original key i figure its not gonna fit in the holes.
I guess the only way to get the trunk open to boost the battery is with a key?
Anyone . HELP!

The key for the door and trunk is in the electric key. The part of the electric key that has a hole for key rings is the manual key. Remove manual key from electric key by sliding small button on electric key while pulling out manual key.

Your manual describes in detail how to remove the metal key from the key fob. RTFM.
Btw, if your battery has not completely failed and it can be recharged, you have an electrical leak somewhere and even if you replace the battery it will die again sooner or later. Leaks are common with the r230.
