You'll have to order one to "fix" your other bike and install it yourself.

That's an idea...
I'd now have to speculate that the story of complaints to NHTSA about releasing the parking brake when trying to open the frunk; may be true...

I am told the part has been discontinued and the option is no longer available.
Read a post here earlier about a difficult frunk release being caused by the pull wire being installed upside down at the release mechanism. Checked mine and sure enough, found that exact problem. Changed it around and voila: a much easier, smoother key release of frunk.

I was going to do it myself, but the fasteners on the cover scared me off. Could not figure how to remove them, and did not want to break anything.
I am letting my dealer take care of this "warranty issue" today.
I am very non-mechanical.

That is one of my favorite things on my 2013 RT-S.

I ordered my electrc release when I picked up the 2014RTS. Haven't put it in yet, been busy riding. If the button color is blue I will have one for sale. Someone I know ordered one for his 2013 and they sent him a blue one. Looks stupid on his all amber dash and controls. So he had to deal with BRP to get the right one. After some calls and arguments they finally made it right.

On my 2010 RT I would frequently forget to use the frunk switch before I turned the engine off. Therefor my choices were to restart the engine or use the key. I would always use the key, so in my case the lack of the frunk switch in my 2014 RT is not an issue.
