Maybe it's a 2009/Gen II "thing" but as I recall my key works the doors even when I have the battery disconnected.
If you suspect the battery to be the issue there is a way to pop the front trunk manually. There is an emergency trunk release outside the car behind the left fender well. You could connect another battery and then hopefully the key will work if it's a battery charge issue.
