Default Boot (Trunk) release via remote key fob

I have a 2002 S2000 owned since 2006. I've always wondered if there is a simple way to open the boot without the key. I found the answer tonight.
1. Unlock car (via remote)
2. After lights flash (once) press unlock again and the boot should release.
3. Well, not on mine.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

You don't have a trunk release button on the fob? I thought that was standard.

My 02 has a trunk release on the fob. There's also the trunk release in the glove box between the seats.

Hold the button down for three seconds.

yeah, you can't just push it down you have to hold it down.... it's to prevent you from opening it by accident

if you hit unlock Twice it will unlock the passenger door. you should have a seperate Trunk button which you have to hold for several seconds to open the trunk.

Thanks for the info, I know what's happened, the previous owner lost the original key fob (with said boot release button). I have, effectivly, two "spare" key fobs (one bought from the dealer after i bought the car), these do not have a boot release button. thanks

it's easier and cheaper to just get another remote on ebay but if you want to modify yours, i'm willing to bet there's a place on the pcb for a trunk release button.
