Default Minor Pet Peeve-No Trunk Opener

I have a minor pet peeve with my '03 LS430 that is the same for my former '02 ES300. There is no way to open the trunk without the key or without opening the driver's door to reach the dash switch. Seems to me that my 1990 LS400 you could push the keyhole button (which does not exist on the '03) and open the trunk.

I leave my car in the garage with the key in the ignition. Yeah, I know safety bugs will say this is looking for someone to steal my car. It's a risk I've lived with for 18 years for convenience. My garage is bulletproof so I'll live with that risk. That being said, sometimes I want to throw this or that into the trunk and it's always a pain in the...trunk.

I am curious...what year did Lexus do away with the trunk button on the outside of the trunk? And, maybe I am wrong...maybe there IS some sort of latch that I missed.

There's no trunk push button on my 91, you have to use the key or pull the latch just as you mentioned.

I'd like to see this bulletproof garage .
