actually it looks like the plate on the skyline is from VA. that was taken at Bimmerfest East about 2 years ago.


we actually do not have any photos of the installation process. it was really cold and just wanted to get it done kindasad.gif but if anyone wants I can take a pic of it already installed, although I think Dustin already has one from his trunk


$15 off eBay wink.gif

I love it. I always forget if I locked the car or not so its really nice that it tells me. has great range too

its also nice when it tells you that the shock sensor is going off and you can go stand next to your car and watch the person who can't parallel park so they try harder not to hit it biggrin.gif

got a link to where you can buy the actuator? you just wire it into your aux input on your alarms brain, right?

basicly yes. If your output is positive then your fine, but if your output is negative you need to wire in a relay to change the polarity of the current.

I bought mine from a site online a while back, Steff got hers from ebay. They were the same set for around $15-$20 shipped. The acuator is rated to about 10lbs which is just good and fine but honestly I would try to get one rated higher.

Code Alarm CA-160 $119 shipped from ebay.
Code Alarm TKRS1 Trunk Release Solenoid $15 shipped from ebay.
the alarm has a fuse to make the trunk release positive or negative. put a fuse in the positive side so no relay needed.

BTW what alarm is that?

Code Alarm CA-160

it went for about $150 on eBay. maybe a little less now.
I got mine from the seller caraudioshoppe for $119 shipped since I ordered something else and they made a mistake so they offered to send me the upgraded alarm at no extra charge.

its a subsidiary of Audiovox. I like it a lot so far, it has great range. it has a shock sensor and starter disable, the remote has a bunch of features you can access using combinations of buttons (like parking meter countdown, interior temp, alarm clock)

Ditto. This is why I prob won't get this mod cause it prob wont work anyway. I tried putting the washers underneath the stoppers per some thread a few months back but that only worked for a little while maybe 2 weeks. Now I'm back to popping it twice again. WTF?
make sure the cable is tight and not obstructed by the rear plastic. Also you might want to loosen the latch and raise it up 1-2cm, it will give less resistance to the popper.

i didn't install my popper.. had it installed with my alarm a while back... it works with one pop if i had just opened it and closed it just to try to open it again...

it already has trouble with the oem 3post.. i wonder what'll happen when i install my trd???

altho i think i'll try to loosen the latch a bit.. hopefully my hatch doesn't fly off or sumthin hah
