Adding an exterior trunk release button to base and premium model 15-17 WRX?

The lack of an exterior trunk release button is a constant annoyance for me. I think the Limiteds with keyless ignition have a trunk button hidden above the rear license plate. Has anyone out there figured out a way to retrofit those parts to the base and premium models?

The keyless uses the keyless remote to operate the trunk button, so I imagine you'd still be SOL.

If you can push the trunk button, you can probably press the button on the fob anyway :)

Thanks for the response. That's what I was afraid of with the keyless remote. It just seems like kind of an odd omission based on my prior vehicles.

Isn't this entire website devoted to first world problems? I don't think cat-back exhausts and carbon fiber hoods are going to bring safe drinking water to sub-Saharan Africa....:rolleyes:
