I couldn't believe Honda made the glove box trunk switch button work all the time. The second day I had my car, I just disconnected the trunk switch, deciding to use the remote or the key for trunk access.
Then I decided that it was convenient to have an inside-car trunk release, so I wired the switch up to the accessory socket power wire, which only works when the ignition is on. Now I feel better about my trunk security.
This mod changes the trunk release switch operation so it works only if the ignition is on.
