If anyone is wondering how to add this to your car alarm system to pop trunk using remote. You need to buy a RELAY and wire it like this: Wire the Relay as such - Pin 86 & 87 to 12V Fused to Constant, Pin 85 to Trunk Release Input(trunk release wire from your alarm), Pin 30 to Trunk Release Output (wire from Relay to Green wire to Solenoid). Hope that helps.
Thank you for making this video. I have a 2002 Mazda Protege that I'm going to be adding a Push-To-Start kit upgrade to. It features remote trunk release which I want to use with my setup aswell. I found this electric trunk release kit on amazon but had no clue how to even install it in order to take advantage of the remote feature- This video made me understand the whole setup and installation. Thank you for saving me the headache for the whole installation process!
Great video buddy, just fitted one of these to my mk4 golf today as the previous owner decided to cut off the boot lever and rendered the boot door inoperative!
hi, nice job there... i have a question. instead of using on/button, i want to use my car keylock button that already have trunk release button. how to activate that button?
Can you make a video of trunk opener and closer.. I mean like modern car where the door can be electrically operated and the door will slowly open up and the button inside the trunk able to push the door down again.. That would make more sense
nice video, late to the game here but is there a way to get the remote trunk pop feature on a remote start keyfob without using the button? My car already has a decent trunk release and the button wouldn't match the interior at all/be rudundant. I suppose worst case I could hide the button in the trunk next to the solenoid.
When you press the button, the solenoid pulls the lever. But what causes the solenoid to return again? Is it electrically H bridge in the switch or some mechanical spring etc? :) Thank you
Thank you for this great video. I would really love to install this in my Toyota Corolla but the key does not have trunk release button, only door lock and unlock button. Please how do I go about it?
Unfortunately your existing alarm must have provisions for remote trunk release, to allow you to use this mod. This is why I had to install a new alarm system to be able to activate this device via the key fob.
Hello mate may i ask...mine car has already push button for opening the trunk but recently i have install in my car remote control system for doorlock and it provides one wire that it can be connected to the trunk and opens the trunk remotely! the issue is that i have tried almost everything but it dosent work....i have bouth one relay with 4 pin....can you give me directions on how to connect it with my existing button so both can be functional as well at the button as the remote?? pleasee In any case, thanks for your help
Why you wrap the green wire on the hinge like that? It looks messy! I would've ran it along with the other wires and tape it or zip tie it all together to give it a clean factory look! Being it's green, it already stands out from the rest of the wires! But I guess as long it works, it shouldn't matter! Nice job installing it and keep up the great work!
Your accent seems very familiar!! Trini!! I'm getting a lexus altezza next week and lookin at installing one of these as well as a push to start and remote start kit so appreciate this guide
I noticed that the remote start push start kit you listed isnt available on Amazon anymore. I am looking to aliexpress for my stuff, both push to start, remote start, trunk release kit and also open close window and wing mirror. Do you have any tutorials for the last two?
Hey...the seller just doesn't have the kit with that particular key fob at the moment. However, check this...www.amazon.com/dp/B00HCBEYW0/_encoding=UTF8?ref=exp_inf_pl_influencer-abe9144c . This is the same kit from the same seller, just with a different keyfob. In terms of opening and closing windows, and wing mirrors, that would require a more sophisticated alarm system, which I'm not sure exists on a mass-market type of alarm system. What you're looking for, is probably more application-specific. The only thing I can suggest there is asking the seller "EasyGuard" on Amazon if he has an alarm system which incorporates those features as well. Here's his email address, incase you're interested: eddykwok@foxmail.com . He's very responsive (back when I used to ask millions of questions before and after purchasing it from him), and speaks (well types) and understands English surprisingly well. Give it a shot, and let me know.
The Auto DIY Guy really helpful thanks. This is kit I found on Ali express that also does window up down but the seller hasn't been able to communicate with me effectively as to whether or not all parts necessary included in the box Auto Car Alarm Engine Start Stop Button Remote Start Open and Close Windows Version Smart Key PKE Passive Keyless Entry System s.aliexpress.com/ZviIzE7J (from AliExpress Android). As for the wing mirror let me know your thoughts on this Auto side mirror folding system Intelligent Auto Side Rear View Mirror Closer Parking Alarm System Rear Vision s.aliexpress.com/RzYjYbum (from AliExpress Android). And finally I am looking to install reverse sensors as well. Do you have a tutorial on that? This is the link for the reverse sensor 100% Original Steelmate Ebat C1 4 Sensors Parking Assistant Sensors Reverse Radar Alert System with External Buzzer Speaker s.aliexpress.com/Uj6rqyUj (from AliExpress Android). I use AliExpress for the cost as well as quality and also its lower taxes to Import where I am {I'm a trini living in Antigua) with taxes 80% minimum and you can't find an expert who knows what they doing to install.
Nice diy dude, only thing is when you close the trunk the olenoid moves front so that again when you press the button it moves back and opens the lock right? So basically its powered one way
Well actually...the solenoid opens the lock when the button is pressed. The lock is closed when you close the trunk. The solenoid literally does the exact same thing as the lever you usually pull to pop the trunk.
4 years late but the answer is No. this system allows you to unlock it via key fob, And release button. You can still unlock it via key or pulling the lever if you want to. The trunk will lock no matter what if you close it.
dontnow100 depends on the existing alarm system you have installed 😀... For example, check my video on how to install a start stop button with passive keyless entry... That alarm system has the provisions necessary for opening the trunk via the key fob.
Great video man! Can I connect the positive of the solenoid directly to the wire From the alarm system trunk wire ? Or does it have to be connected to battery first? ( I am not going to use the button from the kit as I have a cable trunk release already I just want to be able to use the key fob to release trunk)
I know you posted this question a while ago, and have probably worked this out by now, but for anyone else who might stumble across this question, the answer is no, you can not power the solenoid directly from an alarm / remote starter system. The solenoid draws too much current. You will need to use a relay between them. The relay will have four connections to it, and you will need to know if the signal from your remote system is positive or negative. You can connect your remote system output to pin 85 on the relay. If the remote output is positive, then pin 86 on your relay goes to chassis ground. If the remote output is negative, then pin 86 on your relay goes to battery positive through a small (3 amp or less will be fine) fuse. Pin 30 on your relay goes to battery positive, and you use what ever size fuse the solenoid kit calls for on that power wire. Pin 87 of your relay then goes to the solenoid positive.
@@thomasherring6640 i wired it up exactly as you wrote, but it still doesn't work. Same solenoid, wiring it to a DS4+. Does the relay need to be a 12v or a 5v? I read somewhere else that the relay has to match the output voltage(?)
@@jonnyrussell3982 I expect that the output from your remote system is 12v. Did you check the output wire to determine if it is a negative, or positive output?
@@thomasherring6640 the diagram lists it as a negative output. It's really baffling me, I've tried all manner of wiring it to 3 different 12v relays, in different configurations, and it just will not signal the solenoid. The solenoid works fine, though with a button connection.
Can you use a multimeter, or at least a 12v circuit tester to verify that you are actually getting a 12V Negative signal on that wire when you push the button on the remote? It is possible that you have to activate a setting on the remote, or you need to hold that button down instead of just pushing it, or something else silly like that.
When you got the kit, there was a black wire with a heat-shrink-wrapped component on it. What is that wire for? They also include a plain black ground wire with the kit, so I assume they serve different purposes? Which one do I use?
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
im having problems on getting the solenoid (same brand as yours) to pull far and strong enough to pull the lever to open the trunk. I am sure that I have the loop and wire as small and tight as possible. I'm also sure that nothing is hitting anything. I feel that the solonoid needs to pull further and stronger away. Any thoughts?
Hot Cheetos I had the same issue... But I realized after all of the fidgeting and adjustments, that the solenoid needs to be practically perfectly in line with the lever to be pulled to open the trunk. Oh also... Make sure that you leave slack inside the solenoid as well... I remember that was also an issue for me. I just assumed that if I pull it out all the way and then tie it that it'll work, but nope... So try pulling it out about halfway from inside the solenoid before tying it off to the lever. One last thing... Make sure the lever can be opened easily by pulling the lever manually.
Thanks for your reply. Before trying out your suggestion, I decided to try one last thing since I didn't want to relocate the solenoid. Basically, I stretched the tension spring on the lever and it worked! Now, I'm stuck on trying to program the trunk release to my auxiliary button on my viper 3002 alarm remotes. Do you think that you could help me figure it out? I've already hooked the wire to the 1st hole on the main harness (H1/1) of the viper box.
This is only possible if your existing alarm system has provisions for it. Otherwise, you’re going to have to install an alarm system with that feature built in. Check out this video if you’re interested ua-cam.com/video/QT-XmFuEGsw/v-deo.html

Thanks boy it helped a lot I just put one in my 1983 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme 👏
ah boy...glad I could've helped! 😄
Thank you
A modt exellent demo.sir well done ste from uk.
good job
I would pull power from the ACC on the ignition instead of constant power
It only uses energy when triggered though 😅
Great video Thanks.
Thanks for watching!

Now you need to add springs to the shocks and the trunk will pop up high.

How would this affect the original trunk lever? I would still want my trunk lever operational
It can be separate or work together with existing trunk lever
@@TheAutoDIYGuy great. Thanks

Nice ! but how do we get it to work on universal remote.. is the real challenge.
krish gya once the alarm system that the universal remote is tied to has provisions in place for a remote trunk release, then you should be fine lol
Why you wrap the green wire on the hinge like that? It looks messy! I would've ran it along with the other wires and tape it or zip tie it all together to give it a clean factory look! Being it's green, it already stands out from the rest of the wires! But I guess as long it works, it shouldn't matter! Nice job installing it and keep up the great work!

Thnks ! Like
What about trunk doors that open sideways (like passenger side doors)? do you have a solenoid for that?
Can I connect the button wire to the actuator that opens the doors?
So you still need to lock your trunk by key?
4 years late but the answer is No. this system allows you to unlock it via key fob, And release button. You can still unlock it via key or pulling the lever if you want to. The trunk will lock no matter what if you close it.

Oké will do. Thank you very much for your informational videos!
Can we hide this solenoid inside of the trunk and bend the metal cable?
How can i connect it with relay on my central control locking?
