Trunk Release

by **Steve526** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 6:28 pm

I've had my solara for about a week now, and finally read through the entire owners manual.

IT HAS A TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR!!!

I was all dissapointed and thought the only way to pop the trunk was with the keyfob or with puttin a key it in, but alas! there's a button to the left of the glovebox!!

It's the little things...

The button's in a crappy location. Try popping it when you have a passenger in the front seat. Jeez, they should've put it in the door or under the driver's side dash where most cars have 'em. boo hoo

I didnt even get a button in the glove box! :cry:

So i just added an actuator in the trunk so i can pop it thru the aftermarket alarm/remote start.

nope, we needed to add a soniod (sp??) to make it pop remotely. from the factory they didn't come like that

I'm really not sure - i worked at an audio store so i paid employee cost. I think its like $50-$60 bucks regular price. It comes with a button so if you dont have a aftermarket alarm to wire it to, you can still make it work.

...Or pull the lever next to the fuel door release. Problem solved without the button in the dash for a Gen1 (but still unable to do electronic release via keyfob).

99-01 = Manual release via a pulley near the fuel door release under driver side seat. (Aftermarket remote trunk popper requires a solenoid installed)
02-03 = Electronic release via button in the glove box (Solenoid already installed)
