I didn't have to do anything to get the boot to open, just fitted the kit which took 5 mins and it worked! :cool:

Hi jonny,

I've found lots of conflicting info about this. Apparently, different year models have diff boot locks. Some have the secondary locks, some don't. And you can't change the programming. I can't find a definitive answer and I'm not sure what's right or wrong? I can't believe there would be different lock settings??

Until it's clear, I can't do the mod!

Frustrating!

Regards,

Mart

I saw a link the other day where they changed the boot struts so that when you opened with the key the boot opened, and I read somewhere that the boot struts out of the Skoda Octavia do the same, I will try and find the link again and post it.

Cheers Josh

Yep I now about the kit mate (thanks), but apparently there is a secondary lock (which appears to be on mine). When you press the button on the remote, it doesn't release? So at this point, doing the mod would be a waste of time if there's no way around the secondary lock?,,, although quite a few have done it with no probs...Frustrating!!
