I fail to see the problem. It's on the fob, what do you need another trunk release for?

Yes this is very annoying. My 99 cougar had no trunk release and it was a pain when you had to run to the trunk for something. (CDs, jacket, umbrella.) The Focus was very well laid out and placed the trunk release in the upper-most left-hand corner of the gauge cluster. This is easily reachable from standing outside the car and just leaning in and while you are seated. I use my trunk release all the time when the car isn't running. Whenever I wash the car I unlock it first and leave the keys somewhere else so as not to ding the car while I am leaning on it to dry the roof. There have been hundreds of times when I will release the trunk to dry under the spoiler, under the liscense plate and in/around the weather stripping where water collects. This is really going to bug the heck out of me.

I'm not sure what the big deal is to have a trunk release. You have a keyfob and a new invention called a...are you ready for this... a "key". I know, hard to believe. You actually put the key into this cool thing called a keyhole that is located in, where else, the trunk. You then turn the key and presto, it opens. Sweet invention if you ask me. Wonder why they didn't think of this sooner

And if the keys are in the house, but you want to open the trunk... gotta go find the keys, instead of using an interior opener.... bad oversight in my opinion...

That's why I'm going to order a 3rd FOB and velcro it somewhere in the car (glovebox or center console).

Just get the keyless touch pad and install it. It will do everything the remote does, except the panic button. No need for key or remote.

Good point about the theft...'course you assume they'll know to look for the FOB. Not like I'd have it on display. And there are ways to disable buttons...

Not sure where you live but around here my car would be locked so I would need my keys just to get into my car to use the trunk release if it had one.
