Mike,

It's gun control, German style. Theres a metal detector in there like the ones at the airport. J/K :)

Good question. I would say look at the ownwers manual, but it is probably lokcked in there too. Lez is probably the guy for this one. He seems to know quite a bit about all of the little quirky things about the car. Lez?? Kurt??


Folks,

Okay, so I'm back from my trip and now want to unpack the car. The glovebox is locked so I find out that the the trunk is too, by virtue of the glovebox lock; No problem.

Here's the problem: After I turn the key (yes, the master-key) to the "unlock" position, the trunk unlocks and opens, but not the glovebox. I can not open the glovebox for anything. The key and lock turn fine, and it will still lock and unlock the trunk, but zero luck with the glovebox lid actually opening!

Please help me out here. I have a $600 Glock (what else would it be?!) in there, that I would love to shoot again.

Is it just busted, or is this another cool, whizz-bang feature that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Mike T.
