Does your car have an access panel behind the rear seat arm rest? If so, you might try going thru it to access the rear seat pull handle.
Is the lift handle for the trunk locked? Might try the key there to see if it is.

No pull down access panel 😔 and no I took cover off and locked it manually and unlocked to make sure it was not locked

The grey valet key will only work on the doors & ignition. Use the black "real" key, that opens the other stuff.

(The valet key is what you give to parking valet guys so they cannot get into the trunk or glovebox.)

Dealer or a locksmith. Maybe have to prove ownership.

There's an immobilizer chip in the key (including the valet key), and the car has to be programmed to accept all the keys as well as the remote unlocking buttons on the new "real" key.

Dealer. They'll cut it to the VIN, and then program it and your valet key to the ECU. Should cost about 80 bucks.
