Chris

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

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

Wrong.
Ignition key should unlock the doors.
Trunk key unlocks the console.

Jim,

You are 100% correct, the longer "rootes" keys were keyed for the
ignition and door, open the door, put the same key in the ignition.

The console key and boot are the same... both the storage compartment keyy.
