Default If the Valet Trunk Lock is activated, can you still unlock it with the keyfob?

Can someone try to see if they can unlock their trunk with their keyfob if the trunk lock is activated? In the 3GS, I was able to do this with the keyfob and key itself with the trunk lock on. On the IS-F, I have not been able to unlock the trunk other than turning the valet trunk lock off. I am wondering is it something that is wrong with my car?

Nope. That's the point isn't it? Lock with the button, lock the glove with the key, and now the trunk is inaccessible.

You can still use the hard key, functions the same as the 3GS.

That is the point... to keep it locked. However, if I recall correctly, on a 3GS you can use the keyfob trunk button and the trunk button itself to unlock it even if the valet trunk lock is activated.

Yes, look at my post above yours. I came from a 2007 GS350 and the IS-F (mine is a 2012) and it functions just he same.
