trunk release button

06RedfireGT · July 8th, 2007, 02:00 PM

why the hell did ford not put one inside the car? the last generation had em in the glovebox. it a PITA not having one. has anybody ever put one inside their car?

Push the little blue button on your key chain.

06RedfireGT · July 8th, 2007, 05:24 PM

i know smart ass. heres an example, you forget a bag in your trunk and you go out to get it and opps you forgot your keys. instead of just opening the car and hitting the button you gotta go back in the house and grab the keys. like i said its a PITA.

texas_mustang · July 8th, 2007, 05:26 PM

yea, i agree. i dont see why a honda civic has one, yet we dont

I feel your pain Bro...my '04 had the button in the glovebox and I used it more than not.

06RedfireGT · July 8th, 2007, 06:04 PM

i know i had an 02, 03 and 04 stang so i was used to the button being there.

Luis_GT · July 8th, 2007, 06:04 PM

You can always lower the rear seats to gain acces to the trunk

06RedfireGT · July 8th, 2007, 06:06 PM

yeah thats true. i would if i was in a pinch but just to get somethin outta the trunk i wouldnt. im too big and the back seat is too small.

DAMNitzHENRY · July 8th, 2007, 07:13 PM

its a real pain

once, i was setting my subs in my trunk and left my keys near the very outside. I closed the trunk and realized my keys were in the trunk, had to crawl through the back and get around a huge ass box that contained 2 10 inch subs ( yea, it was very big)

wasnt very easy since im a pretty big guy lol

The civic has to have a buttomn in it to compensate for the lack of torque.

At least your backseats fold down. They dont on the verts ( for the top storage when its down and drug running when it up ). So if i dont have my keys, I dont get into the trunk...

The AdMan · July 9th, 2007, 05:24 PM

I'm going to chime in here too. Major oversight not adding a button or something inside the car for the trunk release. I like having it on the key chain, no doubt, but for convenience and emergency sake, there should be something in the car.

Imagine no door lock button or window buttons? Is that coming for '08? LOL

Gunny · July 9th, 2007, 05:32 PM

Don't shoot the messenger here, but...When I bought my vert in 06, I asked the salesman the same WTF question. He said it was for security. With a vert, you'd put your valuables in the trunk because someone could easily slice the top and snatch your stuff. It sort of makes sense, I suppose. Again, just regurgitating what I heard and sort of agree with. Maybe a lockable center console with trunk release would appease everyone. Or, have a second remote at home. Hell, when you screw yourself and lock the keys in the car, call home. I heard of a trick where you could call someone with a spare set of keys, hold the phone close to your car and have them unlock the doors with the spare remote! Urban legend? Hmmmmm.........never tried it.

stanglifemike · July 9th, 2007, 05:42 PM

Thats intresting about unlocking the doors over the phone. I cant imagine that working but that would be helpful if the situation arrises.

Gunny · July 9th, 2007, 05:44 PM

Yeah, I really ought to try that prior my F'ing myself.

texas_mustang · July 9th, 2007, 06:01 PM

wow, thats actually a really good point. at my highschool kids used to get their cars broken into, and then all the shit stolen out of the trunk.but yea, on my moms s550, you can get the doors unlocked from over the phone

Security issue huh? how about this, they could have put it where it is on every other stang, and put a lock on the glove compartment like every other stang, and it would be just as secure and efficient as every other stang.

1FastFox · July 9th, 2007, 06:04 PM

As for the phone and the door locks... go ahead and classify it under the deal with pop rocks and soda pop. At least I couldnt get it to work for me.
