Default No Master Key!!

Alright fellas, so my master key got stolen and I'm left with the valet key. The trunk lock got pushed in when my car got broken into and I'm trying to find a way to release the lock so I wouldn't have to pry my trunk open from the outside. I know I'm going to bashed about using the search function but I'm not getting any replies so I really would appreciate some help on this without having to call a locksmith and spend $35-100 just to get it unlocked.

Remove the front plastic "dashboard" cover way down were it's hard to get right under were the switches and lock are. Then, get the main peice of plastic covering the switch area. Carefully pry that off, (Note all the screws,)
When you get access to the lock itself there should be a metal ring around the front of the lock. It's bendable so just pull that out of the way then press the small black button down and it will unlock the trunk.
Here are a couple threads that will help.

This one was my experience.

This one is the most helpful, it is mentioned in my thread.

Actually I just used a paperclip after pulling the plastic housing off to open the trunk, weird yeah but it really work. All I did was take the plastic piece that had the OBD slot on it and removed the wire housing from there and put the paperclip in both holes and it popped open!!!
