A long straight stick or screwdriver from the left side under the frunk lid to the latch. Push on latch, should pop.

I had a locksmith make a key.
It will only open funk and lock the trunk.
Under $5.

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 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

Extra key

I keep a second key hidden in the trunk and have a key in my wallet that I can always use to unlock the trunk and get the second key.

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.

:thumbup: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 tho¿)

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.

Here are some pics, you have to run the rod right down the channel. If you take off the black inspection panel you can run a wire across to the left.

Really? A non owner couldn't start one with the key.

Yes.You are correct from a certain way of thinking, but if someone wanted your Spyder they will get it.

I was referring to the unlocking the trunk/frunk.

Thank you

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.
