I had a locksmith make a key.
It will only open funk and lock the trunk.
Under $5.
4" Stubby antenna, Dual arm LEDs Fender LEDs, Back Rest, Luggage Rack, Run, Brake and Strobe for top case, Mirror LEDs,Back Off decal on mud flap, reciptal for Battery Tender and Heated Gear, mirror LEDs that stay on or work with blinkers, GPS, side bag red LEDs, Top cuff with Ram Ball phone holder And USB power, Top cuff with drink holder and passenger cup holder. Also grilles in front of radiators, also spyclops. Garmin 595 GPS, Freedom windshield. Also glove box console And trunk wrap in carbon fiber from wrap my spyder. BRP comfort seat. added garage opener with rocker switch in center console to match other switches. And I have added Elka stage 2 shocks.
FWIW - when I owned a Piaggio their forum described the method for opening the seat without the key. Then folks started having their scooters broken into by thieves who read the method.
Their solution was to stop posting and send a PM only to registered members with a specific minimum number of posts. The thefts were reduced, particularly after the moderators removed old posts describing the method.
Something to consider here? We may think it's obvious how to access the trunk, but how often the question gets asked tells me it's not so obvious. So why advertise it?
I did put a small cord and it works great. Tuck it under weather strip can't see it at all

I looked and didn't see a good place to attach a cord. It seems it would get tangled in the lock mech as you have to pull it to the drivers right to open the frunk. A pix would really help.
Also I don't see how a small stick or a long screw driver is going to work with out scratching the h&ll out of the frunk.
Any thoughs and pix are much appreciated

A blank to release the lockables is an Ilco X270. I had to bevel the key as shown so it could be pushed down far enough in the ignition switch to release the frunk and seat latches. I keep it in my wallet.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Same here I try to keep some spare blanks if I meet other spyders that want to do the same. (I didnt have to bevel mine thoż)

I put a wire to the riders left and it comes out under the oil check panel on the 2012 RT. You have to lift the left corner up to insert the rod or stick. Shouldn't scratch anything.

Thanks guys,
With the inspection removed it was all very easy. Used a strong nylon string with a large ( 1.5" dia) rubber washer tied to the loose end and tucked away but I can still get to it.
