  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I picked up my 4.6 Saphire Blue today and couldn't be happier except for the fact that I cannot open the trunk! The only way to open is with the key. I've pulled on the driver side door button, pushed the key fob button, pushed the button on the underside lid of the trunk - no dice.

Could it be a fuse?
 
Have you made sure that the trunk lock switch in the glove box isn't on the "trunk locked" setting?

Yes - that was the first thing I checked. I will try that once more to be sure.

EDIT - it now works - I swear I checked that button in the glovebox. I feel silly.

I also thought I had that problem. It seems when you press the fob to open the trunk, it doesn't pop right open....you have to keep pressing for a second or two and then it opens.

I discovered there is a button under the trunk lid. You can keep you Key Fob in your pocket and push the button. It's the center black button to the right of the light.

tjn007,

Thanks! I've had mine for almost 3 months and didn't know about the trunk switch!

Now my "keys" can stay in my pocket all the time!
 
Congrats on your new Gen! Did you get the Tech?
Enjoy!

I also got the tech. It will take some getting used to the DIS when changing stations. I noticed that when tuning using Tuning and Seek you can select multiple HD stations per channel, but not when in Preset mode. Does that sound right?

Otherwise, I put the rear/front wings and the wheelcaps on yesterday and it looks fantastic!!!
 
What interior color did you get?
I like the Sapphire Blue. Make sure you post some pictures if you can.
