I am getting a new alarm installed and the local installer told me that he could not install a remote trunk release for me because our cars have manuel leveler??? Is this true? whats the deal?

his right but he can also hook up a solenoid to the trunk release and a relay for your alarm.it's possible to do.

Anything is possible if you got the cash. It all just depends on what it's worth to you to get it done.

I used a door lock actuator and it was real easy. By the way if they can't do a trunk release on your car, they shouldn't be doing your alarm.

What Chris said! That has to be one of the easier things an alarm installer should be able to do...

I talked with the installer and he told they can do it with the actuator but will cost money. About $125 with the labor, he told me that the labor cost a lot to do.

i got the push button trunk with my alarm install it is just a solenoid that it hooke up to the alarm so when you push the button the solenoid has a cable atached to the latch that pulls and pops the trunk i am good friends with the guy that does all my work and he said it was the easiest car he has ever done it to for the alarm with trunk and window relays (so it rolls up my windows when i arm it or rolls them down when i disarm it) it cost me 300 even hope any of this helps

HEHE.. hey FLY, what do you do if it is raining and you disarm you car? You said your windows roll down when you disarm right? I would seriously consider not using just relays....1. how does it now when to shut off (it can burn up your motor if it is still trying to roll up or down a windows that is already up/down. 2. What if A kids arm or something else is in the way of the window? By using a window module that uses voltage sensing you will save your window motors and possibly something else. Sine the wires are already ran I would consider buying a DEI 530T to operate your windows.
