The original key must be the black one. It should open it unless you have an issue with the lock assembly. The remote should still open it also.
Try the valet switch located in the center console switch pack, that should shut it off and let you in

I locked my keys in my 2006 jaguar I am able to get into the actual car itself but my keys are in trunk I am unable to use the emergency release because it broke and I had the emergency switch taken out. I have had three locksmiths try with no luck yet..Is there a way to get into the truck threw the backseat with out causing any damage to my vichile? Ive looked everywhere for the answers and Im stuck. How do I break in threw the back seat?

the rear seat has to be removed and if there is a hole to the trunk use a light with a long magnet to get your keys
