JohnUKVetteNut Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi , just given my 2005 JDM roadster a good spring clean...and found a switch in the cubby hole behind passenger seat, beneath the false shelf and it shows picture of boot release and says on / off but what does it do. I have no boot release key fob? JohnUKVetteNut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 With the ignition/power on if you press it does it open the boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnUKVetteNut Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 OK so switched it off and no boot release...switched it back on and we have boot release? It appears that you can prevent boot operation from inside car, but why would you want to when all you need to do is lock the car? seems a bit weird but at least i know what its for!

ChrisB Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Is it like a half state you get with passenger door locked but driver open (except for boot operation) for anti-theft or snatch when you are a single person at, say, a petrol station and not in a position to lock the door (ie you are getting in)? Certainly seems like a feature, although probably more useful for vulnerable females in lawless America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnUKVetteNut Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yep! makes sense when you put it that way. Thanks JohnUKVetteNut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
