Unlock car with boot remote Mk2.5

Postby drckarcher » Wed Oct 24, 2018 6:04 am

Hi,

Is there any way to wire up the remote central locking with the boot release so that the car unlocks when the boot is opened remotely?

Factory or aftermarket keyless entry?



Generally the door locks operate by having a solenoid in each door, and the driver's door will normally have a wire or something that when voltage is applied, tells the solenoid to pull the lock rod to unlock the doors.

The boot release would generally work the same way.
You could probably just track the wire for the boot release and link it with the door wire, so that when it triggers the boot it also triggers the doors.
But, you'd need to talk to an auto elec to work out how to make it not also open the boot whenever the doors are unlocked.

It's the factory remote central locking.
