Yesterday I get to my car after work to find the key isn't working via remote. I figure I'll get someone to bring my spare down. Same deal. I try the keys in the door. They just spin (clockwise) but do click so it's not spinning freely as if the entire door lock is screwed. Either way the door stays locked. I try the boot only to find there is no release for the middle seat from INSIDE the boot (thanks Holden) so after trying to squeeze my hand between the seats to get my arm up high enough to release the latch I give up and resort to kicking my middle seat down which again fails (didn't even leave a mark)
My car has since been towed home and I have absolutely no idea what to do next. I've been told it could be the battery but my odometer is still on and that flashing security light still blinks. Even if it was the battery I can't pop my bonnet. Also been told it could be the BCM or simply my locking system has failed.
Car is a 1999 VT Commodore and it is deadlocked. I was going to call a locksmith but wasn't sure how or if they can pop a dead locked door without causing damage.
Any help related to this matter would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Here is a video of the key in the door
