On our models we are able to lock our truck so people can't open the trunk... is there any way around it?

My understanding the trunk locks as you close it. Anything is possible to break into if you really want to.

I don't know if there is a solution out there already but you can always customize it. Different kind of keys or even go digital lol.

what he said does make sense. he knows that we can lock our trunks, but he was asking if there's any way to break in even if it's locked. but yes he did say truck instead of trunk, how many times have u mispelled something?

A crow bar or pry bar should be able to break it open.

You should probably lock the remote trunk release and the rear fold-down seats if you don't want the parking valet guy getting in there.

Yeah! that's what I meant... I didn't reread what I typed... I meant "trunk". Well I was just thinking like if someone broke into my car to try to steal the radio and if I locked my release button and fold down seats there's no way for them to get in with their bare hands.

Thanks

a trunk can be easily broken into... damage by force... if your good pick the lock, break your window and pull the trunk release &lt;- haha. it really is simple... if you really want it to be secure, cover the key hole, and unhook the trunk release line.
