The S95 had one in the glove box which was necessary becasue the FOB didn't work when the ignition was on. You had to turn the car off to use it. The S197s don't have the button in the glove box. The FOB works when the car is on. I like this better.
To think...Ford did that intentionally. Who'd a thunk it?

Unfortunately from personal experience I can tell you why the lock is on the trunk lid.
If you are 2 hours from home and your spare keys, and happen to close the trunk lid just as you realize your keys are in the pocket of the jacket you carefully placed in the trunk[
]- you need the outside lock so the locksmith can pick it and get into the trunk to retrieve your keys! With a convertible there is no way to get into the trunk from the inside of the car.

I never understood the need for one.
When I'm in the car so is my fob.
