What would happen if you unlock the car with the key and then press the key button inside (lock unlock) I do that and it opens my trunk

Not if you use the service key and don't have a key fob. Hence the purpose of the service key, to keep people out of the trunk and glove box.

Thank you much for your suggestion though.

I'm guessing you have this sorted out by now...

Just did the same thing with my S80 while on vacation stranded with no phone...

My options were to
1. tow it 70 miles to Volvo (locksmiths will not touch volvos...)
2. rip the trunk door off
3. pry up the speaker deck cover and feel around for the cable releas that connects directly to the back seat latch.

I took option 3 (option 2 was a few minutes away) and I was able to lift the rear deck cover up a few inches and grab the cable to the back set behind the driver seat and a slight tug and the seat unlocked and folded down. I crawled in and got the keys. PS the alarm was going off so I removed the fuse (on the side of dash on the drivers side).

Volvo... so well built, not even I could get in
