I am pretty sure you have this backwards. The ignition key opens the doors a=
nd the trunk key also opens the console.

If I have this wrong, I am sure many others will let us know.

    <p>That's funny.&nbsp; When I showed my car for the first time in
      Staunton, I found out the same thing.&nbsp; I didn't have a trunk key,=
