try connecting your battery again & if alarm doesnt go off then pull the trunk release....

How do you end up in the middle of your street with your keys in the trunk and keep posting at the same time?

Even if the alarm does go off, just pull the trunk release and then disconnect the battery until you get your remote out of the trunk. Then reconnect the battery, and press the unlock button on the remote. I don't see why this wouldn't work.

You've got your self in a pickle . I don't think you can un-bolt your rear seat if it's locked in place. Why do you have locked anyhow I forgot you could even lock it.

FYI if you give your nissan dealer your vin # they can cut you a new key for your car. With that you should be able ot open your trunk. Have fun and good luck.

this's a stretch. take apart the dash area by the steering column. Then find the wire that disarms the stock alarm. Zap it with 12v (or 14...not sure which) and that should turn it off.
I'll do my best to obtain a service manual and find out which wire it is.

I don't think there is such a wire and you actually can damage car's electrical system trying to zap something to 12V. I'd recommend to open window with battery connected if this is possible. Then disconnect battery, find alarm hood switch - the thing with wires and rubbered end which gets pressed with hood closed. Press it with something imitating closed hood, close all the doors and connect battery. Then sneak in through driver's open window and pull trunk release. I think, your opened hood sets off alarm again when you reconnect battery. This MIGHT WORK, I'm not 100% sure. I haven't seen 2k2 elecrical diagram yet. For 2k guys it wouldn't be a problem at all - we can pull that release button at any time no matter what alarm thinks about it. Is this good or bad I don't know. 2k1 guys probably have it disabled the same way you describe.

its ok guys. i found the least expensive most time consuming way to fix this problem. i drove 400 miles in a friends car to get my spare keys and just got back. man i will never do that again.

i musta made 600 dollars worth of damages and paint scratches to the door of the car. i really scratched it up pretty bad with the flat head screwdriver. im just glad its on the inner panel where no one can see. i will touch it up tomorrow morning.

we must seriously LOVE our maximas. the moment they're in trouble, we will put down everything until the problem is fixed. i'm definitely not criticizing because i'd do the same thing too. heheheh
