Automatic Trunk?
I have an 06' GS430 and was wondering what the strap that hooks up to the trunk is for? Can the trunk be closed automatically like mercedes? I know that when you lower your trunk down, the strap pulls it shut to the lock position. My question is that can you automatically close the trunk from the fully open position?

executive matchup
On my GS 450h, if you close the trunk (but not slam it shut), it will automatically close it shut (so I assume this would be similar to what MB has).
As for having the trunk close from the fully open position, yes you can have this done. You need a heavy duty actuator and some trick custom modification to have this done. Your hi-end custom car audio shop should be able to do this for you. Whether or not you have the room in your trunk to do this is a different question, considering you already have a custom audio system in your trunk already. Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it.

When I tried out my new supposedly "automatic" trunk closer the first time, I think it's a joke. I guess there's a flaw in every car.

^^ not for everyone I guess, i beat the living crap out of people that slam my trunk, so this is perfect.
automatic trunk closer like the LS, while it's nice, it just adds unnecessary weight and potential breakage to the mechanism.
quit being lazy people, just close the trunk yourself

why do you HAVE to close it gently? you can still slam it if you want
on the other hand, i don't see how i LOSE 2 seconds when i close my trunk gently. it latches it self, i either walk away from the car or i walk towards the driver seat. lose what?
