frunk

[Bob T.]

I just found out how you open the frunk when the switch don't work. You can open the frunk by pushing the key down while turning it to the left at the same time

(But that "little secret" is also in the manual...)

 

[Oldmanzues]

Only way it worked in the old, first Spyder days.
Anybody remember that long ago ?

From what I understand that will be the only way to open the "frunk" on the '14 model RTs as well.

RS owners knew that since 2008, but don't ask me how to turn a RT radio on !!!!! :roflblack:

There has been some confusion about the push button trunk release on RT's. I believe this was due to the fact that some of the demo RT's did not have the feature activated.

In looking at the BRP page and the offerings for the RT, it appears that the push button trunk release is indeed a feature on the RT-S and RT LTD models. It does not seem to appear on the base RT model.

Time will tell, and we will get it figured out. :thumbup:

Thanks for the info. I know I really like and use the frunk release button a lot on my '12 RT Ltd.

Picture of what is suposed to be the dash of a 2014 RT Limited... :thumbup:

The key shows you that if you rotate it one way, you unlock the seat and the other way unlocks the frunk. I never remember to hit the button before I turn off the ignition so that is how I access the frunk

The 2010 Model year bikes had to be running for the button to work. I believe that later model years only require the key to be turned on...

On my '12 RT Ltd the lights remain on for a minute or so after the ignition is turned off. The frunk release button works with the key off during the time the lights remain on. I almost always put my helmet in the frunk so it is almost automatic for me to push the frunk release button immediately after turning off the ignition...creature of habit .

 

[SNOOPY]

That's the only way I know to open mine.

Exactly, I don't have no stinkin' switch! :roflblack:

 

[flaggerphil]

That's the way I usually open mine even though I have the button.

Frunk release button

According to my dealer, there was a memo sent from BRP saying the Trunk Release is not included in the 2014 RT's ( RT-S...RT-L) anymore. The demo units I saw did have the electric release.....??????

My frunk release tool

Works too...
