Our trunks = no valet
I can't believe that its not possible to lock the trunk with the mechanical key for valet use. Basically, we can't lock the trunk independently of the fob. Just venting.

Not unheard of for a Mercedes-Benz dealership to dispense poor or inaccurate information.
From the operator’s manual, “…When the trunk is separately locked, it remains locked when centrally locking the vehicle. To deny any unauthorized person access to the trunk, lock it separately with the key. Leave only the electronic key less its mechanical key with the vehicle…’’ It works exactly as described on mine.
Perhaps you can show them the description on page 41 and then insist they fix yours. Gratis.

Wait a minute.. so mine is broken??? What year is your c32? Thanks.
Also, my page 41 in the manual is about something else. No mention of the trunk lock.

I can not lock the trunk on my 04 E Class either using the key that is removed from the key FOB. The dealer told me that the part number for the lock is the same from 03 thru 06 MY so I assumed that none of them will lock. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

C55
what year is your car?
my 04' E500 and my 06' C55 have the same lock system. 1/4 turn counterclockwise allows you to manually open the trunk w/o the keyfob (aka when battery is dead) 1/2 turn clockwise locks the trunk so the keyfob and inside button dont work.

Crazeazn, When was your MY 04 E500 built? Mine was built 0n March 29, 04. Since MB was actively de-contenting the E Class in 04 it's possible yours was made before they removed the ability to lock. My key will not turn as far as yours in either direction and when turned it can not be removed.
