Ok folks, I hope iM not being a bonehead here, but here's the deal. Its about locking the trunk, Separate from the central locking system.
Page 26 of my owners manual says we have 4 keys:
Master key with light;
Master key witout light;
spare plastic key;
door and ignition only key.
On page 29, its titled Luggage Compartment Lid. And , it talks about how with the master key, you can 'TURN THE MASTER KEY TO THE RIGHT UNTIL THE SLOT IS HORIZONTAL, THEN EXTRACT THE KEY FROM THE LOCK... The luggage compartment is locked and DISCONNECTED FROM THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM.'
The problem is that no matter how I tried, there was no way to turn the master key in the trunk lock horizontal.
Is my lock broken? Is it because i have a bmw alarm in the car?
Does ANYBODY know whats going on here? Why do I want this? Because I want to be able to lock the trunk and turn the key #4 over to a valet and have them be locked out of possessions in the trunk while still being able to park the car.
thanks.
