Can you valet lock your trunk? Meaning.. lock the trunk with the mechanical key, and remove said mechanical key?


Dealer tells me its impossible. But that makes no sense to me cause I can insert the mechanical key and lock it without the ability to remove the key. If in fact this is correct function, there is absolutely no reason to allow me to lock it at all then.

That is correct... I have an 04 and use this feature. Tell your dealership to do some research before misinforming others.
