Locked 2001 Camry, remote wont work, doors locked, no other key

My 2001 Camry seems to have a dead battery because the remote won't open the doors and the only key I have doesn't open the door but only the trunk. I replaced the battery in the remote so that's not the issue. How do I open the hood to jump the car or get the back seats down from the trunk to crawl in? Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks for your quick response. I have climbed into the trunk and felt all over. In the middle of the backseats, from the trunk, is a lever for each seat that says "lock". But in no position does this lever seem to release the seats to fold down. Does anyone know how to fold down the 2001 Camry seats from inside the trunk??

I have a 2003 camry had the same problem. My solution was to raise the drivers door handle then turned the key and then it opened.

Normally you can open the back seat from inside the truck. Look for a rear seat release somewhere.

Wireless Key Remote door & trunk opener won't work with trunk anymore

When you press the trunk open button, do you hear any "release" noise come from the trunk area? The issue may be a bad battery in the key fob OR there could be an issue with the transmitter located inside the vehicle. Do the doors lock and unlock properly? is the vehicle equipped with security or immobilizer? please advise

05 tundra, battery went dead with doors locked

The key won't turn in the door lock? Spray some graphite or lubricant into the lock cylinder and work it some. If you have been using the remote all these year and never the key its probably a little rusty.
