Use the search function. 'Trunk button' in the S197 section.
Its been discussed over and over with links to the mod and switch.
Use '157db' as some of the search criteria as I post on all of them.

The owners manual is available online.

I always carry two sets of keys and have never locked either of
them in the stang in the last three years.
PATS is a Biatch if you lose one at the wrong time......

THANKS for posting a link to the online owner's manual.....

......you guys and gals are the greatest!

I wonder if the 2010 have the glove box option...

I could be wrong, but I think the '10s have a button in the glove box.

I have an 05 and also wondered if there was a button inside the car to release the trunk. I see that is a "no". Worse case, I guess we will have to pull our back seats down to get into the trunk...if the car is unlocked. lol

Tricked out to the electrical max.....

I just dont use my stang to transport anything but me.
Nothing in the cabin that was not there when I purchased it.
And I dont transport or store anything in the trunk.
I have opened it by accident more than I have on purpose.
I am contemplating removing the wire from the trunk lock
release solenoid just so when the fob is in my pocket, somethign
does not push the trunk open button inadvertently. :')
