Boot Release

[willsavage]

Has anyone fitted one of the ebay kits, i want to find a switch that will fit next to my fog lights and i only want to be able to open the boot once the keys are in the ignition, so i may take the power from the lighter, but if possible have its own fuse. i have seen a few how to's but they all make it look rather confusing.

help! lol

thanks

not done one of them but I lone rich is the best for advice on that

Another idea would be a release that's conceiled somewhere only you know about

The best method is the mountain bike brake cable one... easy to fit and never breaks down! But if you really fancy an electric boot release, it's best to hide the switch completely. Many people put it in the cubby box under the armrest. I'm happy to help if you want the wiring sorted out...

Won't you be kicking yourself if you lock your keys in the boot if it's wired it so it only works with keys in the ignition? That would REALLY REALLY wind me up!!

Excellent point, and another plus of using the hidden cable method... Although you could still end up setting off the alarm!

haaha that is true, i was wanting it so that i do not have to get out of the car to open the boot for some1. ah well, i think i will shelve the idea for now, until i can think of a way of doing it.

thanks every1

Well if you can make it to the Oxon meeting on 1st Feb, we'll have a chat about it. I can help with both methods and we can discuss what would best suit you.
