Default Accidental Trunk Opening!

Guys, am I the only one who is finding that I tend to accidentally press the hatch release button on the keyfob and inadvertently open the back wide open when I least want to? Oftentimes the car is parked outside my condo and that button on the key for the trunk gets pressed by accident. It is dangerous for theft issues. I keep lots of stuff in the back, and I must be hitting that button when the keyfob is in my pants pocket or something. I have the VAGCOM equipment, I'm hoping there is a way to tweak the settings so that button is disabled on the keyfob. I certainly don't need it for normal usage. THoughts? Thanks guys.

I ordered one of these so I wouldn't pop the hatch on mine. Been using it for almost 3 weeks without any problems.

Okay, that's neat and all, but I just want to disable the damn function! I don't want a key condom, I want a more elegant solution. All this software with VAGCOM and nobody has found a way to disable the hatch opening from the remote? Come on guys, help a brother out!

That reminds me of little kids who have to have their squeeze juice boxes put in plastic containers.

I would think at the very least, you should be able to change the amount of time the button has to be held before it activates. But that's probably the same spot where you'd be able to deactivate it as well.
