Unless you've discovered something I haven't stumbled across yet, I don't believe you can open the seats from the front unless they are not latched. The releases are in the trunk.

yea that's what i was thinking that got me scared. You have to pull those straps from in the trunk to release the latch. once i discovered the hidden key in the keyfob, it was a nice sigh of relief.

Ive pulled the strap through to the other side and seems to work when I pull on straps seats come down. No need to go into truck to lower seats.

Thanks, hadn't thought of trying that.

By the way, as an aside, I think both the design of this and the fact that the valetlock is in the trunk hints there is some truth in the "86 was designed to be convertible from the outset".

It also locks the back seats in place so you can't get in that way either... Very useful when you are planning on valeting and your girl wants to leave her purse in the trunk

kvnchu · 04-06-2013, 04:46 AM

what i dont understand is how that would stop a valet from getting in your trunk. In my old lexus, the button was in the glove compartment so you could lock it with the metal key out of the electronic key fob.

A valet could just unlock the trunk with the key you give him, what difference does it make?

kioton32 · 04-06-2013, 12:58 PM

The valet key is shaped a little different at the tip and doesn't have the trunk tumbler bump on it...

My remote trunk won`t remote release, have to manually press trunk button inside. I tried to see if inside trunk button had any affect, same problem. Guess I have to take it to dealership. Anybody else experience the same problem?

Are you holding the button down or just tapping it? It needs to be held down for a second or so.

Sorry I was just about, to edit it once I saw that had already been tried. I would go to the dealership just make sure you bring both keys on my last car they reset it with a different code and than my spare wouldn't work.
