i actually did but it was a small tiny latch that didn't even look like the one in the picture. i couldnt find it in the beginning. i was able to reach it and plug in the wire...it wasn't until after the trunk was open that i looked closely and found it.

I can't seem to find the latch. i have the same issue. Do you have any idea where it is or what its near to? is it on the passenger or driver side?

I can open my trunk/boot with the ignition key. There are some without this standard feature?

Not hard to find. Even with the non-OEM sticker back there.

Now Chuck...no need to be sarcastic! lol

Thats what went through my head as well, until he said he hadn't hooked up the key lock to the mechanism either!

I obviously missed he'd disconnected both means to open the trunk!
