just wondering if there is another way to release the trunk than bending down into the driver foot area to release the trunk? In the US manual is shows that the button used to mute the proximity sensors can double as a trunk release.... Not so for a canadian car???


Any ideas

thanks

Andreas

On my E39, there is 3 buttons on the fob. 1 to lock the doors 1 to open them and 1 to unlock the boot Id expect something similar on the E60 surely.

+1 about clarifying your location...


+1 for the key fob as well, it's the bottom button, just be sure to only depress it for a second or two..any longer and you will set the alarm off...


On US cars, there is a trunk release button on the lower right of the center console..

I think Comfort Access is standard on Canadian cars for 2009. Just grab the trunk handle.
