Hello bkkeys,

You said, it is very straightforward to install. Is it possible to share some information about the installation just to feel how is the difficulty to install the system ?

Thank you in advance!

We are actively working on the installation video (that's me in the video), so we should have it done fairly soon.

Basically, you are replacing the tension spring (with some new motorized components), replacing the latch system ( with motorized components), adding the new switch and then supplying power and ground. We will post the install video once it's finished for all to see.

I've had it in my car for a couple weeks and I love it. Not only can you sing songs while opening and closing the trunk but it's very handy for a number of uses.

Sorry for my delay, I didn't see your message..

The group buy is officially open now.
We will have only 10 kits available.

We need at least 5 people to offer you a discounted price. If we get to 10 the discount will be higher.
PM Nelson for more details.

Nelson has already contacted everyone that expressed interest in the GB.
As soon as we receive your payments we will update this thread and add you to the list.

The installation video will be available before we start shipping your orders. We will do our best to upload it to our YouTube channel ASAP.

Please note that all orders will be shipped in January. I can't confirm the exact date yet.

Also the button on the dash will let you open and close the trunk.
Finally there is a new button in the kit which you will install on the trunk lid to close the lid.
Can you close it from the key fob?

Given that the spring is hidden inside the trunk, will there be anything visible inside the trunk or is everything hidden behind the trunk lining?

Is the switch mounted to the trunk lid or to the inside of the trunk?

Hi, everything is 100% hidden. There is a template in the kit to cut out where the new button/switch will be mounted in the trunk liner (just like on cars that came with the option).
