You may want to check out this mod: http://www.baustnet.com/honda/mods/trunksw/trunksw.htm

It will make the trunk swtich only operate when the accessory power is on. It's very simple to do with minimal cost.

It is designed the way it is so that the valet (key) cannot get to any storage.

Oh if we did this I'd NEVER charge for such a thing (I don't think I need to make $5 off of s2k owners)... if it can be done, you'd be able to buy the parts locally. I suppose if we had to we could provide the parts for a minimal cost...

I'd be happy knowing that others could benefit from this too.

You might do a search on remote garage door openers from headlights. There's a guy who wired his garage door opener under the hood with minimal out of pocket and a relatively easy mod. I'm thinking about doing this with mine.

My roommate took a quick look at it and he said that based on the type of lock, he doesn't believe its possible to do. He said he'd take a closer look when the weather is a bit better... but he said I doubt it can be done the way you guys want it.

He was like sure, I could make it open with a button (on the remote), but you'd still need the key to unlock it.

Yeah, because the factory locking mechanism is self-contained and just grabs the hook on the inside of the console door. That's why I was suggesting another separate locking mechanism. You would just leave the console unlocked all the time, and then a solenoid or something would prevent it from opening while the car is off.
