remote trunk opener?

remote trunk opener?
did our cars come with the option of having the trunk being able to open via remote?, because i had an alarm system installed recently, and i still have an extra channel on the remote, that i hope could be used for opening the trunk

If you have electronic trunk release(mine is a hair trigger button on the driver's side kick panel), then it should be fairly straightforward. Otherwise, you will have to install an actuator on the trunk lock and then wire it to your alarm. 4th Gen maximas came with the remote trunk release, but it was an option. It will also depend on the capabilities of your alarm.

ic, ya i got the little trunk opener on the door, and i checked out the manual that came with the alarm, and it had a section about putting a trunk release relay in there. I cant believe that the guys who installed didnt put that in there, i paid like 20 more bucks for "door relays" and etc. sigh, i guess its true, u get what ya pay for, i payed only 100 for my alarm.
is there a place where i can buy the relay for it, and instructions on how to do it, or am i forced to pay prolly another 20 for the relay and wait another 10 hours for the people at that car audio place to install it.

Now when current flows thru 85 n 86 you want the purple n yellow wire to be grounded, so you tap into the purple n yellow wire n connect it to 30. Then you need to figure out if 87 or 87a is connected to 30 when at rest (no current flow between 85 n 86). To test this you can use a multimeter n do a continuity test between 30 and ethier 87 and 87a. Then depending on which one is connected to 30 at rest, you would use the OTHER number and connect that to ground. The one which was connected to 30 at rest should be taped up.
I hope I remmberred everything correctly...gluck!

hmm, i have to take a look at it tommorow, but i got a question, how would you know what kind of signal the alarm puts out? and is there a relay made for the trunk, because on my alarm manual, the trunk release, dome light, and starter disable each show a relay and they all have the same 85, 87,86, 87a, and 30 numbers on it
