Are you sure the exterior lock on the boot isn't switched to the locked (valet) position?

From the symptoms, that's what it sounds like...

Which direction is the key slot in the boot currently facing? Is the slot vertical or horizontal?

Turn it so it's vertical and I think you'll be good to go...

Glad to hear...

I kind of assumed that's what was going on and based on your join date and number of posts, I thought you might be making a newbie mistake but didn't want to assume anything (even though I sort of did assume it... )

Go get your money back for anything you purchased and tell the dealer to RTFM!
