Internal boot release F32.

Kendo67 · 06-21-2018, 07:50 AM

As above people , i had a button in my previous car that allowed the boot to be opened from inside the vehicle , provided the car was stopped. I found this handy on numerous occasions and wondered if anyone had retrofitted this option to their UK car.

As you know the switch blank is just above the bonnet release lever and the switches are plentiful on eBay so what are the chances that the plug is just waiting to be connected

or is it a three wire dice and splice job into the cars wiring loom. Which is what i am trying to avoid as the car is still > 12m old.

I have searched the international forum but due to differences in models and options then there was nothing really conclusive or specific to UK models.

Thanks in advance.

As they are manual closing I can't see the point of a button. just use the key fob.
