    Override valet mode? Hatch won't unlock. 318ti 1997

    My hatch on 1997 BMW 318ti is permanently locked. I presume there is a code or procedure to override?
    Not sure if the last key I have for it is a "master key" the key I do have will not work on the hatch lock.

    Any help is much appreciated.
    thanks

    Does the key have a groove running down the middle?

    Then the lock is defective and needs to be replaced.

    Recently has the same issue with my friends ti. I ended up pulling rear hatch trim off and manually move the lock release lever with 2 flat heads
