What do I do if the battery on my 07 Exige dies and I locked the doors with the key fob (same as CDL lock). I can't pop the back hatch without getting in the car, so I can't trip the inertia switch and I can't charge the battery. The manual locks do not pop the locks up, they just disengage the button so it can slide in and out.

I really hope I'm missing something. And btw: the secondary battery just allows my car to make a horrible shriek when I screw with it. It doesn't allow the fob to work.

FML.

Is this the main reason that Lotus went with BWR for the security system on the 08???

under the teardrop front access panel there is a remote charge/starting post.

Aha!

I was wondering if it had something to do with the "little dude trapped in the trunk" pull tab... The glow in the dark one in the trunk. I realized that the pull tab is past a foam gasket though, and to poke at it with a coat hanger would mean de-waterproofing my trunk. Thanks!

So I guess I can still laugh at the stuck-in-the-lotus-trunk switch, eh?

As Charlie stated use the front post to apply power then use your remote.
The alarm back-up battery is just to power the siren in event of power failure.
The alarm on 2008's is a PFK.
