Trunk release button

[bissellh]

sorry folks! try it now.

i used a flue filler lock solenoid as the release mechanism. bolted inside the boot behind the trim so it pulled the lock release. this worked really well, every time and also meant i could leave the boot deadlocked and still open with the remote without the key.

That is very cool. I have the factory keyless-entry system and a 3 button remote(part # 82 11 1 487 015). Is that what you have?

I would like to know more about how you accomplished this so that I can do it too. Will you post more detail about it including part numbers? Did you have to do any special programming?

I was thinking of a manual release button on or near the dash, but a remote function would be cool too. I just don't know if I can do it with the factory keyless alarm and remote.

I dont understand...you have to go to the boot(trunk) to put whatever it is or to take whatever you want out,whats the big deal about pushing a button to open it

its a bit off a gimmick! but its nice to be able to just open the boot whilst walking to the car, with out having to put anything down on a dirty floor. especially if you've got your hands full of shopping or what have you and its pissing it down!

plus if you deadlock the boot i.e. horizontal turn with key. the remote kills the alarm and pops the lock, without having to turn the key in the lock.

most newer cars have this fetcher.

Are you going to share parts list and procedure to do this mod?

That's a cool mod! I like not having a trunk release inside the car though, that way if someone breaks in, there is no access to the trunk where I tend to double lock items of value. The remote release is definitely a nice thing to have though. Or remote entry at that.
