I have this problem. It started for me when I left the keys in my golf bag and closed the trunk. I heard a thump as the car recognized the keys in the trunk and unlocked it. But since then, "TRUNK OPEN" appears every time the car starts moving.

Also, the trunk open function of the key fob doesn't seem to work.

I booked an appointment with the dealer, but it's still a week and 1/2 away. I'm going to be crazy by then listening to the warning tone everytime I move.

I was wondering what "Reboot the entrie car" meant and if I could do it?

when you close the trunk, you don't slam it. You just close it gently and the trunk closes itself. (ie pulls itself closed the rest of the way)

It is not something you can do unfortunately. The dealer has to do it. Sorry I know it drove me crazy until it was fixed...
