Hello Community,

I just recently purchased a 2016 Odyssey SE and am noticing that there is no way to open the rear lift gate from inside the vehicle. To the left of the steering wheel there are buttons to open and close the side sliding doors as well as turn the traction system on and off but no button exists to open the rear lift gate. My key FOB also does not posses a button to open the lift gate, the only way to open it is to physically be outside the vehicle and open it manually. Is this standard and if so is there any way to get this changed so that the rear lift gate can be opened from inside the vehicle? This seems like a massive oversight by Honda to not allow for this, this is the equivalent of a vehicle having no way to open its trunk from the inside.

Thanks.
