This is one of my major pet peeves. When I get modding money next, I am seriously going to look into it. My idea is to place a trunk release button where the sport mode button would be, since I have a base and therefore have no S mode.

Wondering if I can make that a reality. I'll probably talk to AAM about it, and if I do something like that, I'll post a DIY, you can be certain.

I think spearfish found something on this in the interior/exterior section.

Remote Hatch Opener

Maybe My1stz wants to be the guinea pig and try it.

i have a remote hatch opener. if someone could tell me the point of being able to open the hatch without actually being there to take things out or put things in i'd be curious. FYI you don't need the FOB to open the hatch as long as the car is unlocked.

It's just a courtesy thing for my passengers. If I'm dropping someone off at, say, the airport, I'd like to pop the latch as they exit the vehicle. It's not like I need to do that. It's just a luxury. Rather do that than have them grope around for the button or have to get out and show them where it is.

well here's what i'm thinking. the only person i'd really be concerned with being 'courteous' to with car chivalry is a girl. And chances are if i'm dropping off a girl somewhere that i'd actually care about being courteous to, i'd get out and help her with her stuff.

If its a friend i would be like 'the button is above the license plate.'
just playing devils advocate. Then again i could always just use the hatch opener on my viper remote

It all stems from someone unfamiliar with the car trying to open it on their own. Two examples that have come up for me:
1. Friend getting in/out car and wants to put bag in/take out of the back.
2. Driving into secure facility and someone wants to search the back of the car (happened a couple times to me actually)

I run into the same thing. Again, it's a niche luxury. Like, I don't understand why folks spend so much on NAV. I've got google maps. Problem solved. It's subjective to the owner.

Plus, Jeff, now that I know you've got this attitude, my panties are shut, mister.
