Does it just latch slightly and can the boot just be lifted a few cm's.

Yes, it latches just slightly and the car did not perform it's electronical lock to tighten up the 1,5cm space. But it is enough to deny you access to the trunk.
As I said earlier, it should be possible to force the lid 5mm to the right and then 5mm to the left, to unhook the mechanical closure. IMO this would stress the hinges quite significantly and thus I prefer breaking the center compartment.

How do you mean 'the whole connector block'?

I am still wondering if the electric brake and Park will release without battery power.
Update the manual shows how to release the P Park with a dead battery

Correct but not sure yet if the underhood terminals really won't do anything either. But I'm afraid not.
