I don't have one either but on some cars there is a valet key and you can lock the trunk/gas door. Some cars (newer ones) you can't adjust the seat with a valet key.

I dont get the point of that...

What would switching the key do, release the locks on both the trunk and gas door completley? That seems pointless...

I stick my key in and it wont turn...

THIS mystery pisses me off!

If someone breaks into your car, they can't simply pop your trunk and help themselves. The lock just makes it harder for them to open the trunk, that's all.

Was that only an option on Spyder models?

Re: Confused Help Lol
lol breaking into the trunk wouldnt be hard at all from the inside...

even with out a release knob or key all you do is unclamp the bottom back seat, then rip off the top part of the back seat, and your basically in...
