If your car came without a button on the inside of the trunk you will need to cut a hole with the provided stencil and then fit the button that came with the kit.
awesome job and very sympathetic animator : ) many thaks; i have one question; when we change the lock; how can the new one works and connected to the remote ; is it with the module that you use it ; or how it doest flash automatically ? thanks : )
Thank you :) The power trunk lock included with the kit works with the same wiring the OEM lock works with. However a power trunk module has to be also fitted to the car in order for all this to work.
Build details can be slightly different for each BMW. You can type in your VIN here: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-power-trunk-release-retrofit-powertrunk to check the compatibility and learn more about the installation process for your model.
Very cool video, thanks ! Will the button to open the trunk now allow to close it now ? or the only way to close it will be by the new button installed?
Yeah I'm not sure. I have the comfort access kick, but I'm pretty sure I don't have a power trunk that will close on its own. If other people are like me there's literally no reason to get this retrofit if you already have the comfort kick. Still a cool kit though.

@@bimmer-tech your page says no after I entered my vin, but the trunk system is near idential on f30 and f32, and ive seen someone in europe do it, but not sure if it was with your kit
It should be doable, but the trunk lid line is slightly different than F30. We haven't tested it yet though, but considering every part, you should be able to install. Beware our return policy though :)

So it is only to take out the spring that i am replacing it with actuator.. and the other side will remain as it is (the original spring). Am i correct?
@@JJVernig hi, I installed mine and have been using it for few months. I just replaced one spring with the mechanism, and the spring on the other side remains there
I would love to retrofit that but it’s super expensive for what it is
This is really amazing. I just wish I had the confidence and competence to actually do it myself!
We Believe in you!!

Looks like a fun project.
Some friends, good music and car parts
That's a nice educational video, thanks a lot for sharing. Can I ask you where can I find the same mechanism for alfa romeo giulia?
Awesome video
Awesome comment!

Great video. Please tell me you're planning on doing a kit for a 2015 6 series (f06) and instructional video... 🙏
We are working on developing a kit for one!
- Dylan
@@bimmer-tech I hope too, for f06. When it will develop?
Awesome man
Thanks!
thank you for your video i want to ask one question how to install the trunk button inside the car?
If your car came without a button on the inside of the trunk you will need to cut a hole with the provided stencil and then fit the button that came with the kit.
Nice video! Do you have a foot sensor to add the comfort access to open the trunk?
Hi, no. Unfortunately we don't.
awesome job and very sympathetic animator : ) many thaks; i have one question; when we change the lock; how can the new one works and connected to the remote ; is it with the module that you use it ; or how it doest flash automatically ? thanks : )
Thank you :) The power trunk lock included with the kit works with the same wiring the OEM lock works with. However a power trunk module has to be also fitted to the car in order for all this to work.
Does this install require any reprogramming of the computer or is it just plug-and-play?

Very cool video, thanks ! Will the button to open the trunk now allow to close it now ? or the only way to close it will be by the new button installed?
Thanks, it will depend on your vehicle. Sometimes it will require replacing your stock latch and sometimes only the wiring.
@@bimmer-tech ok but is it included on the package ?
Great kit. Nice to see it done. I’m sure it’s not cheap sadly so most will overlook it as an unnecessary expense 😖
Yeah I'm not sure. I have the comfort access kick, but I'm pretty sure I don't have a power trunk that will close on its own. If other people are like me there's literally no reason to get this retrofit if you already have the comfort kick. Still a cool kit though.
Are you working on developing a kit for M4 F82 as well? Or any chance this kit will work with some mods? Thanks!
No sorry, unfortunately we're not working on one for F82 and don't have plans to.
I'm in South Africa, how can I get the parts?

Does it work with confront access? I mean can you open and close the trunk when you swipe your foot under the rear bumper? Thx
Yes, the kick feature is included but only if you have comfort access.
@@bimmer-tech got it!thx
and how to install comfort access kick its not installed on my car
We have another kit that adds the comfort access ability to the car, please see the video made by our friends at KiesMotorsports: ua-cam.com/video/YC2nsPitSy0/v-deo.html

Do you have the kit for the F10 LCI
Yes =]
-Chaz
Hi, does that kit work with F32 430i coupe?
Hi, no unfortunately it won't be compatible with F32.
Though if you already have comfort access and hen you don’t necessarily need it. 🤔
Hi friend, are you interested in installing other car model?We want to cooperate with you.
You may contact us in this regard via our website: www.bimmer-tech.net/page-contact
E90?
No, sorry we don't have that kit for E90.
@@bimmer-tech Okay thx for the quick response.
Do u have to remove both left and right springs? Or only to replaced the RHS spring?
You will have to just take out the spring you are replacing with the actuator.
So it is only to take out the spring that i am replacing it with actuator.. and the other side will remain as it is (the original spring). Am i correct?
@@brandonyee3864 That's a question I have to, because it still will stay open with one spring on the right side of the boot..
@@JJVernig hi, I installed mine and have been using it for few months. I just replaced one spring with the mechanism, and the spring on the other side remains there
@@brandonyee3864 thx!! I just found out the import taxes, and more than 900 euro makes it a pricey convenience, so I will still be using my arm…
