Neal, a separate trunk release will require an actuator & wiring through & into the tailgate..? Maybe using somthing like this..? http://www.in-car-stuff.com/shop/falcon ... p-122.html If it's a negative trigger (like mine which is incorporated with my alarm system.) will need to be converted using a relayStinch wrote:Hi ive been doing some research on this for our Bongo.
Scott which one did you buy out of interest? Did you go for a 4 door kit and use one of the actuators or buy the kit with out and buy an extra one to add on.
I want to do it cuse it's a pain to have to keep going round to the drivers door and it will be usefull to have the trunk release when im loading my bike in.![]()

There is a actuator in the boot, im not sure yet if the feed from the central locking feeds the side door before the back door or if there is a separate feed that goes to the back door from the dash...jaylee wrote:Neal, a separate trunk release will require an actuator & wiring through & into the tailgate..?

Where as a remote CL system will at least unlock everything at the same time!
Just thought i'd set you up for what you might be in for fitting/installation wise!

If it goes directly from the dash then its a piece of cake to open the back door independently, cut the existing feed, wire in a diode (1N5408 will do) and put the new trunk release after this. The diode will stop the boot release feeding back and opening the doors too![]()
In theory, I haven't checked the wiring yet though

Scott, good point!I was thinking more along the lines of an actual boot popper..
The type that pulls on the mechanism & free's the tailgate catch, then all you have to do is lift the tailgate.. Like on those fancy shmansy handle-less show cars??

Sweet idea,if there's a chance of doing it without pulling apart too much of the loom, or the head lining..?
