picture request: boot lock switch

Sephanite · 10-23-2012, 10:31 PM

Ive been looking around for the boot lock switch in the glove box but i believe i dont have the switch in my car. Before i go buying it and retrofitting it, can someone show a photo of exactly where i should be looking for it?

it's right on the top right corner (assuming left hand drive) of the glove box. can't miss it.

It locks the trunck so that if you use valet service they cannot open it. You lock it in the glove box and then use the actual key to lock that. Then you give the valet the fob only and keep the key part on you.

I dont think the fob will work without the key in it...will it? Im too lazy to walk 20 feet to my garage and try it.
