No, there is not a phone button to open. You can kick underneath the trunk, press the button under the trunk lid, or open the door and press the trunk release button near the bottom of the door.

Thats so weird, fob can open and close why phone can just open?
Is this feature limitation really intentianal? Why they decide that phone should not be able to close it?!!!!

I don’t know. I never open my trunk unless I have groceries. I usually just press the trunk button on the car. Just carry the fob if it bothers you.

You can open/close the trunk from your phone - you need to go to your apple wallet - see below.

Edit: or whatever equivalent wallet app you have on your phone

Got it - I just use my foot to close if I don’t want to push the button. Since I’m physically putting stuff in and out of the trunk if it’s open, it’s more convenient for me to do that than pull out my phone to be honest.
