you can take the backseat out to get into the trunk if there is something you have to get out of there. I'm pretty sure you can get a new master key from the dealer.

@BLkARIST0:
if you can open the trunk with the key, it is probably not the valet key.
@sivikvtec:
you can get a new master key from the dealer if you have the old master key and some kind of identification number. At least that's what the manual says :/

Here's what a guy in the SC section said. Not sure if it'll work with our cars.
