I finally got my mkiii r154 driveshaft out of the freaking trunk, i got it through the rear sub speaker hole through the parcel shelf. My key doesnt work for the trunk and the actuator is failing
Goodluck
Charley

UPDATE: Thank You Charley240!
I did not need to jumper any wires, the trunk was locked. I did not have a Valet key, thanks for showing me that thread. The trunk opens like it was brand new now, and my guess is that it's been like that for a while.
So anybody with trunk probs, check out the thread Charley240 mentioned first!

My trunk popper has been locked since I got the car and I just either used the button on the remote or the key which from what I am understanding you guys are saying there is a way to bypass the lock? Or am I not understanding this properly?

Yes, you can bypass he lock. Ive been doing it by just sticking a paper clip in the blue and black wire plug, but it doesnt work for me anyways

I had to bypass the lock by soldering the red and black wires together and fyi 97+ is not the same as the one pictured.
