Adding Power Trunk Release Ideas...Need Help

[Jrilla]

so how you are you triggering it? i missed that part of your post sorry

This made me think about this a little more. The trunk release button on my remote starter transmitter is a real PITA. It doubles as the status confirmation button, so i need to hold it for 5 seconds. This isn't a big deal when the button actually works, but the button design is not the best and sometimes the connection between is broken while I am holding the button down and it thinks I let go so it starts the 5 second timer over. If this happens I usually have to press the button so hard it could break. I have actually had one break.

This got me thinking about ways of using the factory remote to trigger the relay for the trunk release. My 09 sedan doesn't have power trunk release (obviously), but I am wondering if the vehicle was wired for it at all, like if there is a wire somewhere that sends a signal when the unlock button is pressed for 3 seconds. That is how I have read some trunk releases work on some Yarii. If there is no wire I assume I would need some sort of pulse counter module. I doubt I would bother with this idea though if there is no such wire from the keyless entry module.

Crazy idea I know, just thought I would ask.
