I'm the proud new owner of a 99 3.0cl that I just got today. Beautiful car.
My question:
Is the keyless entry remote supposed to open the trunk? Mine doesn't seem to work. I don't see a keyhole back there so the only way I can get in the trunk is to use the trunk release inside the car.
Am I missing something??? If this is just the way it is, this is a MAJOR design flaw IMO.

 

Welcome!

Make sure you hold down the trunk button (the one on the right) for at least 2 seconds. If you don't see a flash on the remote (fob), your remote battery might be dead.

You need to hold down the button for 2 seconds as a safety feature (to avoid accidentally opening the trunk).

 

Thanks Dustbuster4!!!!
Works just like you said. I was kind of bummed out over this. I've never had any of these newfangled gadgets before and I don't have an owners manual yet.

Well, I guess this makes the car just about perfect.

 

Cool!

Enjoy your time, here on the board and enjoy your CL!


BTW: Check eBay for owner's manuals. I see them on there, every once in a while for less than $10.00.

 

yeah, thanks
the salesman is supposed to order one for me.
after all, it IS a certified acura. you figure it should come with.
we shall see

 

Congrats... They are awesome cars!!!

Good Luck getting anything from the salesman after you buy it.

Have fun modifying it.

 

Have fun with the car

 

congrats on the car you will never regret it.
