The manual locking makes sense. If you are in the car and would feel safer you can lock your car so it has to be that way.

Interesting info about the fuel door. Also not sure if you knew but you can screw up the sequences with it. I think Jeff did it on the other forum. He left his fuel door open and locked the door. Than he pushed the fuel door in and when he opened the doors the fuel door stayed locked. He had to reverse the locking process and worked again.

 

I can also lock my FOB in the trunk. Sometimes the car beeps and the trunk opens...sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to determine exactly which circumstances will render it to open or stay locked. Maybe I'll try and figure it out this weekend.

I took it to the dealer and they gave me some stupid remark about using the key vs. using the door switch. But of course I tried both and got the same results.

I remember one time when I experimenting with this whole truck problem. I locked the FOB in the trunk 100 different ways without the trunk ever opening. 10 minutes later I started the car and immediately shut it off...tried to lock the FOB in the trunk and it popped open every single time. The whole process just seems very inconsistant.

 

****Update****

Came back from service. Apperently you can lock your key in the trunk only in the sedan but not in the coupe. I was told at the dealership. They showed me pictures with diagram of the range for the sensors and the sensor works only outside of the trunk. Which somewhat makes more sense if you would take your fob to a beach and lock it in take only the actual key with you and not to worry about geting it wet.

So to us sedan people we can lock our key in the trunk and the coupe guys can't.

 

didnt have this prob.. hmm.

 

Definitely not the case in my 2007 Sedan. Key in trunk, close trunk, pops right back up. Haven't tested all the combinations of doors locked/unlocked, but the one time I had my key in the bag and tried to close the trunk, it kept popping back up.

I think the dealer is mistaken

 

I can't lock my fob in the trunk no matter what I tried.

 

So they snowballed me?

Damn

 

Wouldn't be the first time from a stealer. Sometimes they just don't know any better, sometimes they're told wrong, sometimes they just lie to get you to leave when they can't/don't want to research and fix an issue they view as minor.

 

yea i actually had my key in the trunk a couple of times (because im clumsy) it always popped back open.
BUT!! BUT BUT!!!! just last week, i did it again.. guess what. the trunk didn't pop back up... i ended up calling AAA, waited for 45 mins in the rain to get my key back.... one thing i noticed thou, my key battery was only 3/4 full, not 100% full, i wonder if that has anything to do with it? anyone know?

 

were any of your others doors open? the BCM is pretty smart. like it won't pop back open if it knows that you can still get into the car.

if not. it's a real issue. to get the BCM checked out.

 

Not sure why that happened with you but the few(3-4) times it has happened with me it has popped the trunk open immediately, i hope it continues to do so for when i commit such clumsiness in the future but would not do it just for fun anymore!

 

Well I had my car in few weks ago for an update on the ECU. They updated everything. Also had new battery in my keyfob since and now it works. Not sure what helped.

All is good for now. Not sure about the op.
