I know it won’t help you now, but check out my post for wiring a battery tender to the front and placing the plug inside the grille.


It would certainly be handy to have an accessible place to apply a charge when you can’t open any doors…

Yea, I'm going to start looking at the Marketplace for a window. I'll use the airbag, and if /or when it cracks, i wont bother to stop. I need to get into this car before i become busy again for 30 more days. I fault myself, as i did not do myself the due diligence of educating myself about this car before purchase.

@DamnHippie - I'm going to check that out. I might want to implement that until i sell it. (sometime this year)

Yea, that was my frustration getting the best of me. I was just frustrated with the whole thing, and i have to remember to buy more plastic fasteners (lol) i broke a few of them taking the wheel-well covers off.

Went to Maserati Dealer here on i10, took my paperwork (legal stuff) to dealer with driver's license, and they couldn't order a key because they want the actual inked (stamped) paper. Unfortunately, covid was still a thing so i bought the car electronically. And the registration paper is in the car. So, that's a no to getting a new key.

Thank you everyone for the responses by the way.
Just curious if you tried to get an updated registration certificate from your local DMV to satisfy the Maserati dealer? Unless the lock is frozen/non functional that would seem like one approach.
And confirming you only have one of two key fobs that came with the car?

No i didn't. Currently, time is not on my side. Also, dealer said it would be weeks before key comes in. Going to DMV in Houston TX is not aneasy task.
Confirming, yes.. I was only given 1 key fob at sale of vehicle.. Another mistake i see i made... Never again!!!

Ummm, question... Is there a special place to look or get a window?
And I did my search for Y14 - Y17. I have maybe seen 1 for a driver's side glass window..

EBAY HAS A FEW.

Scuderia

Is the starter connected straight to the battery? That might be a possible way to hook a charger up to the car to get the electronics going enough to open the trunk.
How to open the engine compartment, though?

No Front Driver's window though; unless the '18 - '21 are compatible fit as well.

I won't act like I know, but I did a search from '14 - '17, are the Y18+ also compatible? Only asking because other sites were labeling it Y14 - Y17 in a search. If so, can anyone give me the parameters search so I know for future purposes?

Seems I'm going to do some minor upgrades. And this whip is going to require some of my attention so I'm never in this situation again.

Thank You, going to check this out.

Honestly, it's probably been a month since i drove the car.. It sits in garage away from outside weather.

Decided to hit the FOB, Nothing!!
Tried to open door, nothing!
Removed the key from the FOB and insert it in the door, NOTHING

Now im absolutely confused. Is battery dead? Can i give it a slight jump? And how can i get back in car? Is this normal? Sorry, i have soo many questions. I tried google, but no one is locked out of their car. I dont recall having battery issues in January. Just that problem with the Climate control thingy..

Can anyone direct me. I'm praying i don't need a tow truck.

HELP! PLEASE!
