Trunk Disable ??

[Bullittproof]

On a 2023 Mustang GT Premium, manual transmission (I mention this regarding the fob), is it possible to DISABLE the trunk-open button on the fob [NOT the dash-mounted switch]? Twice in a couple of months my trunk was found to be ajar, I am pretty sure [and cannot think of any other cause] that other keys in my pocket happened to press the trunk button twice (I know, twice makes it a more questionable feat)...in any event I'd rather be safe than sorry and can live with having only the dash-mounted trigger...any input would be appreciated. My only thought at this writing is to carefully 'superglue' inoperable the fob button, but I would much prefer to accomplish this using technology.

Get a cover for your fob, mine was doing similar things before I got a leather cover for it.

I never use the dash switch anyway. I just push the rubber pad above the license plate, as long as the key is with you, pops and good to go. I did that the other day at a show I was at and several of my Mustang peeps were with me and they all were amazed and didn't realize that trunk pop button was there. . As for the key fob, as mentioned above, a quick disassembly and remove the plastic push pin inside that pushes the button.

thanks for that tip, removing the plastic protrusion, simple yet effective.

I always put the fob in my pocket with the buttons facing my thigh. Then if I bump into anything on the outside it won't trigger any of the buttons.

thanks, I usually have a ring of keys in with it, the alarm has triggered a number of times that way, looks lije I have to change my ways…

Those keys will just scratch your fob anyway so might as well separate them.

Maybe you can clip your keys onto a belt loop?

You’re right, GTP, that would be best.
I wish there was an option for the 55+ year old two sided flat brass key and a B-pillar keypad, that would work for me!
