I would like to add a push button release under the dash to open the trunk, rather than having to become a contortionist to use the one in glove box. Besides, I sometimes need to open the trunk while the car is running and the glove box is locked - I hate having to take the key out of the ignition just to get the trunk open.

I also think that a kill switch for the trunk release, perhaps in the trunk, would also be good. I still want the key remote to continue to work, even bypassing the kill switch.

Has anyone done this type of mod ? I would like to understand where and which wires would need to be modified.

 

Try a search. I rewired the alarm control so that the remote still works with the car running. You can also unlock all the doors with the remote. I got the instructions here.

 

2Scars - Your solution would be fine. I have searched but did not find instructions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Modifry mod'ed the trunk switch to only work with the key on. This was done for security. I think that with this information, you might be able to create the mod you are asking for.

Jason, thanks for the instructions, I followed your instructions as well as the points made by Modifry. I can now open the trunk and unlock passenger door using the remote.

Note: if you can not operate the passenger window after completing this mod, check the window lock button on the driver's door - it has nothing to do with the keyless entry mod (thanks Modifry)

 

GREAT! This is a worthwhile upgrade that makes you life much easier in the s2k.

 

great info. what did you guys do with the wires after you pulled them out? do you have to cover it with tape? I am going to tackle this this weekend.
