>>The lock is an 05 option. Why not lock your valuables in the boot if you must leave them in the car. If you lock the doors with the remote you cannot unlock them by pulling the inside handles.
Really? I'll have to try that. How about the toggle for the locks at that point? And climbing in the window and getting to the boot area is not that hard. :smile:

Have you tried it?
If you install the upper boot tray, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get into the boot area without opening the hatch.

>>use your key fob to lock the doors, the doors will not unlock unless you do it with the key or the fob, the interior switch will not work at this point.
Actually you still can. First you need to use the toggle switch to unlock the doors. Then give the handle a double pull and it opens up. I did it on my 10/03 build.

"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack, are some type of lawyer or something'?"
"Or somebody important or somethin'?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my s***

Obviously, he's not driving a MINI.
Locking a glove box in an open car is just asking for some crack head to break the dash & glove box door for you. Only leave valuables in the locked boot. On my Miata I don't even bother to lock the car. Just the boot.
