BRZ Key Fob trunk button
 

Hello all! I just took delivery of my 2016 BRZ this week tuesday and I am loving it so far! I do have a question that I cant seem to figure out. The trunk button on my key fob does not open my trunk? I know about the lockout button inside the trunk and tried messing with it. However, it doesnt fix my problem. The trunk release inside the car works as well as the button on the trunk itself, just not the button on my fob. I went to the dealership and they informed me that the trunk relise botton on the key fob is not suposed to work.... is this true? Thank you!

Press and hold.

what he said.

also, read the manual :P

finally, the car can be configured to not respond to the trunk open button on the key. But it shouldn't be that way by default. You can change this setting with a bluetooth OBDII dongle and appropriate app.

Well it works! thank you. I feel kind of dumb now but oh well!

stay away from that dealership because they are dumb. they might tell you that you will need to refill your blinker fluid next

I've never came across a remote where you don't need to hold down the button for the trunk release in the last two decades.

Read the manual.

To be fair, could be his first car. This was my first car and I didn't know I had to hold it either (but I read the entire manual while getting all the papers done, out of anticipation lol)

You can also set it so you don't have to do a long hold through tech steam or Christa.

Glad you figured yours out. Mine was baffling to me and the salesman, and even the service department. They finally realized that the lockout button in the trunk was pushed in. Never had a car with THAT feature before!

Could be worse, it could be the parking light issue on older Subaru's.

At this point in time I am pretty sure I have about 80% of the manual save as Snip images since I have posted them so much.
The hard copy sits beside my computer at home and looks like a 20 year old library book already because I use it to find the page numbers quickly.
