boot poppers
« on: 30 May 2011, 13:20 »
Hey guys, can anyone reccomend the best place for boot poppers?
My key will not move when I go to unlock the boot and I also fancy setting up a button from inside the car, and I'm wondering if the mk3 had a boot button at all

The us spec mk3 had a boot release button in the centre console.
I have a flush boot and bought a boot popper off ebay similar to this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boot-Release-Door-Popper-Kit-Brand-New-/300537377044?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45f96c7114#ht_2141wt_1103
Then got a boot popper from a Saab Turbo and placed it in the centre console you can see in this crappy phone pic. :grin:

Yep just take the feed from the alarm aux out(in this case the one corresponding to the button you want it to work off) then connect it to the boot popper power source and then jobs a gudn. :cool:
