A lot of people use a fuel solenoid dont they?

thats what i have in mine, mine is very annoying, you press the key fob once, and the drivers door opens, your press it twice and all of the doors open plus the boot, so you cant unlock just the doors without the boot! which is SO annoying, as then to lock the boot you have to lock the doors so it shuts and locks the boot. frustrating when you have passengers, as i have to unlock the other doors from inside the car or the boot will have to be locked again due to it popping with the rest of the doors.
btw if anyone has any advise on how to change this i would love you long time, i noticed the newer fobs have a separate boot popper button? could i program the solenoid to open from a separate button? i didnt do this mod it was already done for me when i bought the car, also you have to make sure you mount the solenoid in a decent place or it will not release the catch. i found mine in place with gaffer tape as they didnt want to make a bracket up for it. works fine tho :grin:

Yes, you can get a three button key programmed in but from memory it's a bit of a process. There's a guide on ukmivs I think, think you have to change the ccm to a specific version and a few extra bits but the way yours is I'd look into it....!

Way I done it on my first mk4 was get rid of rear wiper and I got a friend 2 loop cable round so every time u use rear wiper it opens the boot!!done wonders 4 me!
-
can use a solenoid off the fuel filler cap and some of the parts from the beetle. have a search been covered before. johnnyturbo has done it on his car and belive he did a right up
-
what about wiring the popper solenoid to the interior sensor swicth on the drivers B pillar, most people don't use it so it's usually just redundant
-
you'll be stuck with either your internal sensors continuously on or off, i'd prefer it on TBH, i'm considering the mk6 boot converion but with a sharron badge mod, anyone ever done this?
-
i wired the fuel solenoid up the rear wiper, so when i pull the leaver by the steering wheel forward it opens the boot.
-
i was just gonna say the same thing, if the wipers been deleted then you could use the rear wiper stalk, if you don't have heated seats you could put a button in the blank or get an oem switch, maybe another traction control switch and wire that to work the boot, there ASR and ESP depending on the car you have just get the opposite button to what you got already, i know a guy that wired an aftermarket immobiliser to a second fog light switch in his mk2
