My spouse is home alone and believes she locked our only key in the trunk of her 2006 Elise. I've seen several threads on how to get into the trunk, however, it appears the solution is only provided via PM.
Can someone help me out? I'd really appreciate it.
Also, FYI, I have a an uncut spare key that I bought via mail order from Lotus. However, I can find no local locksmith that will cut it. The closest dealership is 4 hours away. Any suggestions?

I got Ilco blanks cut at Home Depot. Any shop with an Axxess key maker can do it; tell them it is cartridge "B". I had to go through all the cartridges to find that one, but it worked like a charm.
this irritates the piss out of me when we keep some secret method PM only... as if street thugs are trolling Lotus forums online to find out how to get into the trunk of a car. I've had my car for 4 years now and still have no idea what this secret PM method is.
I haven't found a way that works on non-US Elises... the only sure fire way is to get a new key from Lotus (they can cut a new one from their records).
rwbronco, you posted the way to get in. That is how you do it and how it is explained in PM's. It's just better to be safe than sorry, especially online.
I'd also like to know. Had to have my wife drive my spare over to a buddies house last night. -_-
