It is ironic to have a problem with opening a trunk with a nickname like "getakey"....That is the first I would try *lol*

Coolios! I never looked. *running to garage*
So I just did. And I find an AMAZING DISCOVERY!
.... the rear seat armrest folds down!
So to qualify: Both models have the manual key / manual trunk release. BUT the PAWS model also has a pass through to the trunk space.
Thanks for correcting me on that.

So if getakey did not activate the VALET mode...
the fault occurred in the communication between the 'Keyless Access Control Unit' and the 'MCU'. Per that diagram, there is some communication link there that does not require the VALET mode to be activated via 'Audio Navigation Unit'.
Now what that is?

The other less likely possibility is that something was in the trunk when it was last closed and it got "caught" or pinched into the latch thus physically precluding the electronic latch opener from opening the trunk. That is why I suggested to use the remote trunk opening latch (and maybe a simultaneous physical tug up on the trunk lid by a helper) to see if that would open the trunk for a visual inspection of the latch mechanism and/or removal of the trunk monkey. As I said, the less likely scenario.

On a side note: I wish valet mode had an option to disable "sport mode" also besides the trunk, the glove box and navi/audio.
That would have been nice to have, so no valet drivers can punch it in sport mode and do donuts in the parking lot or whatever...
