could be locked
You can lock the trunk two ways with the smart key on the gt model. The first method involves the key and should be obvious. The second requires you to hold the request button (the ruba nub) for 3 seconds. Try that and then push the button again, see if that works.(blowup)

I can't verify the 3-second trick but here are my observations on opening the trunk with the smart key...
If all doors are locked you can press the smart key button by the trunk once to unlock all doors and the trunk.
If all doors are locked you can press the passenger side smart key button once to unlock all doors and the trunk.
If all doors are locked you can press the drivers side smart key button TWICE to unlock all doors and the trunk.
If you only press the drivers side smart key button ONCE you cannot unlock the trunk unless you a) lock the doors using the drivers side smart key button again and press it TWICE to unlock all doors and the trunk, b) press the unlock button on the inside of the drivers door, c) use your key.
The above scenario is a PITA because often times I press the drivers side smart key button ONCE to unlock the door and then I drive to my destination. I get out of the car and go to open the trunk but it is locked. I have tried to press the smart key button by the trunk but it will not unlock the trunk even if I press it several times. Next time this happens I will try holding it for 3 seconds.

Just make sure you press unlock on the inside panel before you get out. Also the request buttons will not work if, any door is open or there is a smart key in the car.
The button holding trick (3 sec.) only prevents the trunk from auto unlocking every time you press master unlock (inside). The lockout feature is easily engaged accidentaly. with the doors closed; play with it, smart key outside,
press&hold trunk button 3 sec. After you hear the electro-mechanical noises you must press trunk req. button again (press&release) sometimes twice to unlock trunk.

Did this turnout to be an electrical issue?
If I press the lock/unlock button on the drivers side door twice, the trunk is unlocked. Or, if I press the lock/unlock button on the passenger door, the trunk is unlocked. But, if I press the lock/unlock button on the trunk, nothing happens (if locked, nothing is unlocked. if unlocked, nothing will lock).
