Opening the trunk...
I've noticed that I cannot open the trunk with the button on the right side unless I have the FOB with me, even if my car is unlocked. I have to push the button by the steering wheel to open it. Can this setting be changed?
yeah thats just how it works. in the manual it shows the the radius around each lock where the FOB has to be in, in order for it to work, so even if the car is unlocked you still need the fob near the trunk to open it.to answer ur question im not sure if the dealer can change it or not. there is a list of things they can change for u if you bought the car brand new but i dont know if that was one of the options.
the button in the glove is just the valet switch. it locks the trunk so it can only be opened manually with the key.so valet ppol cant look through ur stuff. trust me THEY DO THAT!!! lock the glove and take the lil key out the fob if u valet wit important stuff in ur trunk.anyways wit that off you STILL need the fob to unlock the trunk wit the button on the right.

Going by memory, I didn't recall seeing the option to change this on the "option" sheet the dealer gives you the first time to customize your setting. You need to have your fob with you to open it. Hate it when my wife grabs my keys to open the house door and I need to get something from the truck...
