Hi - I've got a 2019 Civic Type R - the fob / key has a button to open the trunk but this button doesnt seem to do anything? Not sure if this is a fault on the car or if Honda reused a key from another model (e.g., Accord) and the type R doesnt have any ability to open the truck w/ the fob.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

 

I have a '20 sedan, so I have no idea if it is even close to the hatchback, but if I quickly hit the trunk button on the fob it wont open, I have to hold down the button a couple seconds before the pop. It seems I have to hold down the button a while in the door pocket as well to hear it pop.

 

Pressing the button will unlock the hatch/trunk, but it will not pop open like a sedan/coupe trunk would. I believe it will allow you to unlock the hatch without unlocking the rest of the doors.

 

Cool will give that a shot! thanks :-)

 

Yeah, hatchback doors don't open on their own. Has something to do with gravity and the angle of the door.
