That's a valet switch to keep valet drivers from stealing luggage. My friend's 1994 lexus ES300 has the same feature from the factory. There is a button in the glove box labeled "trunk latch" that locks the latch so the trunk can't be opened from inside the car. It was somewhat common in luxury japanese cars back in the day. Also it wasn't required for vehicles to have emergency release latches in the trunk until the 2000s, so most manufacturers didn't bother installing them. Kinda spooky when you think about it.
Huh my 95 mustang has something similar but it was a sliding switch that would lock the trunk button I have no idea about the key cause I never had the trunk key (replaced doors and ignition cylinder but original trunk)
So if the valet knows the switch exists they can just turn it off and get access to your stuff anyway... seems dumb. Does it require the key to disable the switch or something?
@@Adam4some have a separate key for valet so you can lock the glove box which has the truck disable switch inside, then you give them the valet key which can’t unlock the glove box but can start the car.
The lock you are referencing on this toyota Crown is known as the "valet" lock, its s upposed to prevent Valets from going into your car and rummaging around in your luggage.

The manual release cord is a US regulation, not global. Not many Japanese ODM cars have them. The button to disable the boot release is a common option on higher end Japanese cars. On the newer cars it will often just be a dash button for valet use - stops the boot being opened and restricts power and speed. The car is not ex-Yakuza.
It’s not only that as to explain it, the key hole was rigged and the trunk compartment walls were customised too. Is it really that or not, it’s still fun listening this guy 😂
Maybe the kill switch for the trunk but definitely not the trunk emergency release, all cars must have them it’s a safety thing it’s also why they glow in the dark

My Avalon does that lol. Its a valet button that disables the trunk so your possessions are safe when valeting your car. The button is inside the glovebox which can be locked with the physical key that you take out of the keyfob that you give to the valet.
@@TheHuskyGTNowadays yeah , in the last 20 years. Anything before 2002 ish was not mandatory to have a release. I've owned pre 2002 cars with no safety release.
As an Australian, the only cars I’ve seen with internal emergency release inside the boot/trunk are mostly American and some European vehicles. We mainly see Japanese cars here and none have a release. I’m still surprised about that switch.
I’ve had this feature on most of all of my Honda sedans and coupes, minus the firewall behind the rear seats of course. At least with Honda that’s a fairly standard feature. Lock out the trunk and fuel door, then lock the glove compartment. Give the valet the valet key which will only work in the drivers door and the ignition.
My car has this on it from the manufacturer. Called valet lock, whenever I lock the glove box it also disables all the button controls in the car and on the key fob for the trunk
@@venessankurumeh1549 the car uses a key fob and has keyless ignition. There is a physical key that slides out of the key fob that is used to lock the glove box. So all I have to give the valet to drive the car is the fob, and valet lock disables the trunk release button on the key fob.
That’s probably a violation of some vehicle safety regulation or alternatively they think you’re bullshitting them. Either way I wouldn’t want to deal with it. Or, third option, they know what a valet button is.
This guy seriously dismantled the entire back seat to gain access to the trunk without even bothering to find out that some car comes with valet switch. What a silly car mechanic.
Both the Infiniti’s I’ve had also had vallet switches in the lockable glove box. You give the valet the fob but not the key, hit that switch after putting your valuables in the trunk, and you’re good to go. But they still had emergency releases in the trunk cause it’s America lol
Dude discovered a valet switch. Bravo. Cadillacs won't allow the fuel hatch to open either while in valet mode because people were siphoning fuel. The trunk is easy to forcibly access, so they reinforce the latch with a secondary latch. Cheaper than putting another chip detecting keyway in. Prevents picking or prybar attacks. If they made the zone of detection for the chip wider...well then you end up with the scenarion of the white hats walking L.A pd through a parking lot while unlocking and starting luxury cars.

The button doesnt lock the trunk keyhole. You just need the original key. You most likely have a valet key which doesnt open the trunk. Switches like that are in alot of Japanese cars. The Infiniti Q45 (CIMA) has one. I believe late 90's Mercedes and lexus have em too Edit: Pro tip directly from a locksmith guy (not me) he mentioned valet keys have a wider body towards the tip of the key which prevents it from going to the trunk. Theoretically you can shave the key off a bit to be able to fit in the trunk keyhole. It worked on my infiniti q45. But not sure for other veichles.
My family Corolla instead offers a 'sub' key without an electronic chip, unlike the normal key, that doesn't work with the trunk/boot & which you give to a valet
Valet lockout (though valets will have access to the button so useless.) More important use? Ballistic glass and reinforced body means getting to HVT is through the trunk, which HVT has control of access.

Older buicks, Cadillac, Lincoln and Mercedes (pre 2000) had this on most of their cars. As it was considered as a safety feature for execs, it came also with a kill switch (combination of switches that needed to be performed to be able to start prior to turning the key) when starting the vehicle. Keep in mind that most of these cars didn't have the option of flipping the back seats as to gain access to the trunk either. Nothing about that car has anything to do with Yakuza as it a safety tech. My father had a Buick park Avenue (1980's) with such an option, my mother had it on a Subaru Legacy (Japanese import in the 90's), I had it on my Buick century (mid 90's) and my brother had it on his Cadillac (early 00's) STS. Keep in mind that the vast majority of high end (luxury) cars did have this "standard" on their models. Same goes with the engraving of parts (Sherlock), automatic driving night lights and many other things that are now charged as a supplement when purchasing a new vehicle😢
First all the cars you mentioned in your example are like loved by many but also favorite rides of shady types stereotypical of organizations that have shall we say questionable passengers riding in the trunk "plenty of leg room and room for two"
@@seandavidslipp1821 hahaha. I used those models as they were utilized by the vast majority of north americans. But on the flip side in Europe it wasn't rare to see Renault alliance, Peugeot 405 & 205, Citroën XM, Opel senator, various Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Saab, Rolls Royce and many others to also have this fonction. Keep in mind this fonction was patented by Packard in 1956 but widely available in sedans/hatchback (as seen in station wagons - s240 Volvo, custom cruiser and such) after it's demise.
It's for valet or service. You lock everything up when handing key to valet or service technician. My nissan pickup truck came with two different keys. One key unlocks the doors, tailgate, glove box, and starts the truck. The second key just unlocks the doors and starts the truck.
🤨yep been there and done that😉 I Got tired of "braking" with My E brake (to keep the brake lights from lighting up) so I got to installing my "little switch" ...IT WORKEDBETTER THAN I THOUGHT it would 👍
why would you even want that crap? if you wanna get away from a police chase at night, your only choice is turn off ALL lights and put on night vision goggles, and hope some poor driver doesnt crash into you because he didn't see you.
I used to have that. Except it killed all your lights, head and rear. Black ass car, I'd coast right by police in traps at nights lmao. Drive with your brights to see their reflectors far away, and then kill your lights and cruise by.
You’re literally talking out of your ass. Most modern car that has valet mode use their touch screen to input a code. Others would the switch inside the glove box idiot :/
@@absolutiumloads of cars over here that don't have emergency release boots (trunks), when I saw this video the first thing that came to mind was 'emergency release' is more rare than it is frequent, every car must be a yakuza car lol.
@@fcogalvi7814 I know yet the way of massive production is just put it there instead of making a separate process my country doesn't require them yet most new cars have it half of them without the sticker saying what it does.
1. Emergency handle is quiet unpopular future in EU and Asia. In most cases you have this kind of option in cars with fully electric trunk. 2. I like this future like I would feel a little more safer with my stuff.
For months my sister was complaining that the trunk in her lexus was broken, it took me a few minutes to discover a button in the glove box that disabled it from opening. Obviously it had a latch inside the trunk for safety purposes, but i think its actually a good feature. If i had something valuable inside I would use the button to lock the trunk and then lock the glovebox to prevent access to the button. So for example if i was dropping the car off at the body shop and didnt want anyone in the shop going in there I could lock it.
Yeah, I have the same in by old ass Lexus. And being a keyless entry car, you lock the glove box with the key and keep the 🔑. You just leave the electric key to the shop or valet. Never used it myself, but I imagine people who had the money to buy this car as new where in circumstances that required a valet.
That is for vallet service! You can put valuables in the trunk (often taking the manual key out of the remote) when you give your key/remote to a vallet. Our Lexus has it too.
I remember Ford did this back in the 80's-90's. But the lockout switch wasn't hidden very hard. It was in the lockable glove compartment up high, so you couldn't just see it. You had to get down to the seat a little bit to see it.
This is a feature some high end cars have. BMW has valet keys, that start the car, but don't open the trunk and glove box, so you can keep valuables there...
Yeah even American cars have this feature but the button is in the glove box that you can lock. So the valet can’t access the trunk area with the valet key or buttons.
It’s a valet switch most bmw have it inside the glovebox so u can lock the trunk then lock the glovebox and keep the metal key and give only the fob to the valet
Valet switch. My LS400 has one and I accidentally brushed my knee into it and couldn’t figure out why my trunk wouldn’t open for like 2 months until I realized.
My Mercedes has it. It’s called a valet switch or something like that. I have a convertible so I lock it whenever I’m out in public places where people may wanna get into my glovebox or trunk. It locks both. Super handy
My 98 Deville had a similar feature. The car had a lock key, ignition key, and remote unlock fob. Inside the glove compartment was a "Valet buttom" pressing the button disabled the remote opening of the gas tank cover and trunk with the fob and the interior buttons. The idea being if you didnt trust a valet you would hit the button, lock the glove compartment shut with the lock key, and leave the fob and ignition key with the valet. This way they couldnt dig through your glove box, trunk, or attempt to siphon your gas.
@l.e.miller1208 I was 19 when I had that car lol I was one of those kids. Remember almost putting a boot up my friends ass when he mashed the ignition key into the door lock
@@strikerdoc_4205he never said he bought it in America. He said they would add an emergency switch IF it was to be sold in America. Comprehension skills really help
it's to prevent people from snooping around your trunk when you valet it, it you had the original key it will probably bypass it but the valet key is to big to fit in the keyway
Reminds me of a Toyota Corolla I bought used from a flower delivery company. It had five pages of reinforcement plate listings. Every panel in that care was reinforced except for the front grill. Every door, the roof, the hood, the Axels had been updated to better materials, all the hose work was fitted to easily twice what the engine output could do. I swear this was a hitman car.
It’s not yakuza… it’s a safety feature that has been lost over the years.. it’s so you can put your valuables in your car trunk and with the hidden switch.. your average thief couldn’t break the window and pop up the truck and run off with your goods in seconds. Back when people used the trunk for storing valuable.
My newer generation Lexus has that feature, it's a button that is unlabeled and is pressable only when the glove box is open, but isn't inside it. Def not a Yakuza feature, just a security feature.
My guy, if there's instructions on Google in Japanese, it means it's a feature on Japanese models. It's not a Yakuza car. It's probably a diplomatic vehicle, and similar to how diplomatic luggage doesn't get x-rayed, this vehicle is probably meant to prevent roadside theft, mishandling, or tampering with sensitive, or secretive cargo that only the diplomat is meant to handle. Like if Google could tell you where that switch was, it's quite clearly not an aftermarket Yakuza installation.
When I was a kid, I figured out how to operate the latch of a trunk from the inside. I did it on several different cars. This was decades before the mechanism was added to allow someone to easily open the trunk from the inside. I guarantee I can open it. Furthermore, I can probably turn the car off from inside the trunk depending on if the fuel pump wiring can be accessed from inside the trunk which has become more common. There are a lot of functional components accessible from inside the trunk. It might even be possible to set the vehicle's air bags off and set it on fire as you exit the vehicle.
as a former car mechanic key doesnt fit to the trunk lock because no one ever used trunk lock. in newer cars its central locking controlled or even remote controled. the lock just seized. in 2000-2010 cars usualy only drivers door lock cylinder works, because usualy only drivers door will release central locking system. keep dreaming or show how trunk is oppened with key after using magic switch
I love how some folks get confused/unraweld by the quite so normal and simplemade mechanics out in a car, but first actually made for panicrooms and crazy paranoid dictators etc, just now in 12v... presidential convois arround the world have the same
It's called Velvet Mode., My car from '85 even did this by way of a secondary key, but that car has a second trunk so one of them could still be opened even though the glove box & other trunk would still remained lock (the engine lid release is also not where most expect)

But on the flip side in Europe it wasn't rare to see Renault alliance, Peugeot 405 & 205, Citroën XM, Opel senator, various Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Saab, Rolls Royce and many others to also have this fonction. Keep in mind this fonction was patented by Packard in 1956 but widely available in sedans/hatchback (as seen in station wagons - s240 Volvo, custom cruiser and such) after it's demise.
Had an 01 Buick LeSabre with the trunk button featuring a keyhole inside it INSIDE the driver door interior. Weird design

It's for valet or service. You lock everything up when handing key to valet or service technician. My nissan pickup truck came with two different keys. One key unlocks the doors, tailgate, glove box, and starts the truck. The second key just unlocks the doors and starts the truck.
Most of the cars sold around the world do not have a "manual emergency". And that is just a security lock for luggages.
That’s a pretty good modification. One of my favorite ones to do is a switch that kills all lights except for the headlights.
🤨yep been there and done that😉
I Got tired of "braking" with My E brake (to keep the brake lights from lighting up) so I got to installing my "little switch" ...IT WORKEDBETTER THAN I THOUGHT it would 👍
What reason would you have to want that though?
not a modification
why would you even want that crap? if you wanna get away from a police chase at night, your only choice is turn off ALL lights and put on night vision goggles, and hope some poor driver doesnt crash into you because he didn't see you.
I used to have that. Except it killed all your lights, head and rear. Black ass car, I'd coast right by police in traps at nights lmao.
Drive with your brights to see their reflectors far away, and then kill your lights and cruise by.
Yakuza feature 😂. Pretty much every car I know of has that feature. It's a switch for valet mode, so they don't access your trunk.
You’re literally talking out of your ass. Most modern car that has valet mode use their touch screen to input a code. Others would the switch inside the glove box idiot :/
Does the valet mode includes the suppression of the emergency release inside of the trunk?
@@absolutiumemergency release switch it's mandadory in just a few countries
@@absolutiumloads of cars over here that don't have emergency release boots (trunks), when I saw this video the first thing that came to mind was 'emergency release' is more rare than it is frequent, every car must be a yakuza car lol.
@@fcogalvi7814 I know yet the way of massive production is just put it there instead of making a separate process my country doesn't require them yet most new cars have it half of them without the sticker saying what it does.
only those who have been in the joint for ten years know about this feature
The way he pronounces Yakuza feels like stepping in a puddle of water in just your socks
Yakuza button sounds way cooler than Valet lock tho. My 86 has a yakuza button in the trunk
It opens with the hidden key tho haha
1. Emergency handle is quiet unpopular future in EU and Asia. In most cases you have this kind of option in cars with fully electric trunk.
2. I like this future like I would feel a little more safer with my stuff.
That's called "valet" mode.
For months my sister was complaining that the trunk in her lexus was broken, it took me a few minutes to discover a button in the glove box that disabled it from opening. Obviously it had a latch inside the trunk for safety purposes, but i think its actually a good feature. If i had something valuable inside I would use the button to lock the trunk and then lock the glovebox to prevent access to the button. So for example if i was dropping the car off at the body shop and didnt want anyone in the shop going in there I could lock it.
Yeah, I have the same in by old ass Lexus. And being a keyless entry car, you lock the glove box with the key and keep the 🔑. You just leave the electric key to the shop or valet. Never used it myself, but I imagine people who had the money to buy this car as new where in circumstances that required a valet.
That is for vallet service! You can put valuables in the trunk (often taking the manual key out of the remote) when you give your key/remote to a vallet. Our Lexus has it too.
valet switch nice try
Yet there's no emergency release in the trunk either.
doesnt make sense tho. like do they charge u a fee to grab the stuff?
@@antikommunistischaktion not all countries use one
@@antikommunistischaktionOnly the US requires those and that only started in 2002 because of a few morons offing themselves by accident.
@@SilvaDreams Actually it's because human trafficking is a thing here thanks to our neighbors down south, but you do you.
I remember Ford did this back in the 80's-90's. But the lockout switch wasn't hidden very hard. It was in the lockable glove compartment up high, so you couldn't just see it. You had to get down to the seat a little bit to see it.
This is a feature some high end cars have. BMW has valet keys, that start the car, but don't open the trunk and glove box, so you can keep valuables there...
Yeah even American cars have this feature but the button is in the glove box that you can lock. So the valet can’t access the trunk area with the valet key or buttons.
It’s a valet switch most bmw have it inside the glovebox so u can lock the trunk then lock the glovebox and keep the metal key and give only the fob to the valet
That's a valet switch, it's for you to put your valuables in the trunk. Not unusual at all, and old cars don't have emergency releases in the trunk.
Valet switch. My LS400 has one and I accidentally brushed my knee into it and couldn’t figure out why my trunk wouldn’t open for like 2 months until I realized.
My Mercedes has it. It’s called a valet switch or something like that. I have a convertible so I lock it whenever I’m out in public places where people may wanna get into my glovebox or trunk. It locks both. Super handy
That’s yakuza that’s a valet mode. That keeps people from getting into the trunk when you hand the keys over to someone you don’t trust.
You've never heard of 'valet mode' on a trunk before?
This guy is getting so many engagement comments.
My 98 Deville had a similar feature. The car had a lock key, ignition key, and remote unlock fob. Inside the glove compartment was a "Valet buttom" pressing the button disabled the remote opening of the gas tank cover and trunk with the fob and the interior buttons. The idea being if you didnt trust a valet you would hit the button, lock the glove compartment shut with the lock key, and leave the fob and ignition key with the valet. This way they couldnt dig through your glove box, trunk, or attempt to siphon your gas.
All these kids that don't remember that we used to have to use different keys to unlock and start our cars lol
@l.e.miller1208 I was 19 when I had that car lol I was one of those kids. Remember almost putting a boot up my friends ass when he mashed the ignition key into the door lock
obviously is an anti peek system where you put your child in the trunk so you can suprise them for their birthday
I'm pretty sure they would add an emergency switch inside the trunk if this were sold in US
He probably didn’t buy it in America.
@@strikerdoc_4205he never said he bought it in America. He said they would add an emergency switch IF it was to be sold in America. Comprehension skills really help
He literally has a British accent, do y'all just hear the English language and assume America lmao?
You can modify any car to your needs if you know how.
You need to make a video of all the crazy founds you had in your cars ! I remember the fishy keyring from the EVO 😂😂😂
What did the fish keyring mean?

it's to prevent people from snooping around your trunk when you valet it, it you had the original key it will probably bypass it but the valet key is to big to fit in the keyway
Reminds me of a Toyota Corolla I bought used from a flower delivery company. It had five pages of reinforcement plate listings. Every panel in that care was reinforced except for the front grill. Every door, the roof, the hood, the Axels had been updated to better materials, all the hose work was fitted to easily twice what the engine output could do. I swear this was a hitman car.
perfect as a getaway car for when things go loud...
man, some real thought and effort went into making that mod work
Yes a switch will mechanically lock the key that it can’t go all the way in . The key is supposed to not go in all the way
Do not upset wifey, just saying 😬😂😂
“they’ll NEVER be able to get out”
“911? yes im stuck in a trunk”
Trunk doesn’t open , immediately yakuza car. 😂
My 2003 Honda accord has this. It’s called “yakuza switch for Hondas”
A lot of older model and newer model cars(I've mainly seen on honda) will have this feature. Not every brand has it, but a lot of them do.
Ah yes, the toyota crown yakuza edition, with all the features needed by the modern day yakuza factory fitted
It's a security feature for valets. Some brands use a valet key that only runs the ignition and door. Not that crazy of an idea
I love that he has an American accent when he says door xD
Yakuza already watching u :)
On a Lexus, that’s a standard feature mainly used to protect the inside of your trunk when parking in a Valet.
Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽
Finally a car that save your belongings from car theives.
It’s not yakuza… it’s a safety feature that has been lost over the years.. it’s so you can put your valuables in your car trunk and with the hidden switch.. your average thief couldn’t break the window and pop up the truck and run off with your goods in seconds. Back when people used the trunk for storing valuable.
My newer generation Lexus has that feature, it's a button that is unlabeled and is pressable only when the glove box is open, but isn't inside it. Def not a Yakuza feature, just a security feature.
Wow. A standard Japanese crown. Must be a yakuza car.
My guy, if there's instructions on Google in Japanese, it means it's a feature on Japanese models. It's not a Yakuza car. It's probably a diplomatic vehicle, and similar to how diplomatic luggage doesn't get x-rayed, this vehicle is probably meant to prevent roadside theft, mishandling, or tampering with sensitive, or secretive cargo that only the diplomat is meant to handle. Like if Google could tell you where that switch was, it's quite clearly not an aftermarket Yakuza installation.
That's 100% the type of car that somebody would use to kidnap somebody
GTA III enjoyers would have a good time with that reference man
When I was a kid, I figured out how to operate the latch of a trunk from the inside. I did it on several different cars. This was decades before the mechanism was added to allow someone to easily open the trunk from the inside. I guarantee I can open it. Furthermore, I can probably turn the car off from inside the trunk depending on if the fuel pump wiring can be accessed from inside the trunk which has become more common. There are a lot of functional components accessible from inside the trunk. It might even be possible to set the vehicle's air bags off and set it on fire as you exit the vehicle.
Thank you for that information i will definitely gonna use that soon👍
Heard that the yakuza are still looking for this car till to this day for potential "evidence "....😂
I feel like that would be used more for drugs than bodies in this yakuza scenario.
This is good advertisement for selling car to yakuza
“Bodies go in and they don’t come out”
😂… the bodies come out 💯… they just don’t get to go home.
It’s called valet mode, most luxury car has a valet mode or setting.
Dude found the valet security feature and assumed the worst.
The Austrian accent really comes out in this video 🔥
Like no, like no way, like you making it up.
Great story bro !!!
Cool video, but I can barely hear you, could you speak up a bit...
😂thinking what I’m thinking abhaahahah 😊
It's a simple "VALET" button! Geeez!😅😅😅
thats vallet protection. sometimes you dont want the vallet to get into your trunk
I love how he was careful to not show the badging on the car
Yakuza might have a problem with you airing this shit brotha. Sleep tight.
Where can i get 1 of these? I have some plans that needs something exactly like this!!
as a former car mechanic
key doesnt fit to the trunk lock
because no one ever used trunk lock.
in newer cars its central locking controlled or even remote controled.
the lock just seized.
in 2000-2010 cars usualy only drivers door lock cylinder works, because usualy only drivers door will release central locking system.
keep dreaming
or show how trunk is oppened with key after using magic switch
also this car has a valet mode where the trunk doesnt open if the glovebox is locked
Common man
I'm not a Yakuza and I always have installed one of these hidden switches on every of my cars .
I love how some folks get confused/unraweld by the quite so normal and simplemade mechanics out in a car, but first actually made for panicrooms and crazy paranoid dictators etc, just now in 12v... presidential convois arround the world have the same
"Yo, i couldnt find anything online"
-"did you check in japanese?"
The yakuza were real slick about their security, nothing nefarious about it...
In Japan, Heart Surgeon. Number one. Steady Hand.
One day, Yakuza boss needs new heart
It's called Velvet Mode.,
My car from '85 even did this by way of a secondary key, but that car has a second trunk so one of them could still be opened even though the glove box & other trunk would still remained lock (the engine lid release is also not where most expect)
