Cannot Open 2012 Panamera 4S Hoos
Yesterday I took my Panamera to the smog shop to renew the registration. When I attempted to open the hood, it would not release from the interior cabin. The lever moves and I can feel the cable resistance and if I have someone else do it while I stand at the hood, I can hear movement. However, the first stage does not release. I placed some plastic wedges between the top portion of the bumper and the hood to gently pry it without success. I pushed down in a repeated motion as someone pulled the release lever within the cabin, no luck. I lifted the car and removed the front shroud to see if I can use a long hanger or something, but I cannot seem to find it.
I removed the interior cabin lever and everything seems to be connected. Any suggestions? I read some other threads, but cannot locate a "grill." I am beyond frustrated!

Could be cable snapped or came off. Have a look at this thread:
