HF Solutions Boot Release

[Griffit]

I decided I should have a remote boot release and won one in the auction at the Neil Garner Open Day in late 2014. How I managed for 8 years without one I'll never know. It is quite simply a must-have product for anyone still reaching into their car to open the boot! It might even have paid for itself by stopping me burning out two solenoids in that time by getting the release button caught in the dash whilst leaning into the car!

Install was fairly straightforward if a little fiddly via the panel behind the passenger seat and I was initially baffled by all of the Vaseline on the wiring until I realised it was TVR's version of waterproofing! Reading the instructions would have saved me cutting into the wrong wire for the power feed but that was my own fault and easily remedied. After an hour or so of work and having connected everything up (and liberally smeared with new Vaseline) everything worked perfectly straight away.

Wish I'd bought one years ago; not the most glamourous of mods I know but such a useful one!

(I'm not associated with HF, just a happy customer and David was good enough to unpack his car and code the unit at the event after I collected it before he went home - Thanks David .)

Is it a relay/magnet like the Modwise one? (I had one and it was very handy!)

Who are HF?

Agree Simpo, sounds like the Modwise kit.

The boot release is similar to the one that Carl Baker used to do, except that its incorporated into the a remote control that also does the door locks, whereas the older one used a seperate remote.
Built my own with a Renault remote and receiver before I found out about the new Meta setup.

As Mr Jenks says, you get new 3 button remotes. The lock/unlock buttons are dual purpose on the Griff and the open boot button does exactly that. It's all remote, there's no reed switch behind the number plate, just an additional Meta box that receives the signal from the remotes that are coded to suit your existing alarm so you only need the one remote. Last time I saw the Carl Baker setup you retained original remote for doors and had a second one for the boot. These fobs are just under 40mm diameter and about 10mm thick.

Got a Clifford alarm/immobiliser fitted to mine which does everything on one fob - remote door unlocking and boot release included.

And all for less than £140

Mat smith sports cars did an excellent job with my precat

Put in updated meta in with boot release and the alarm sends me a text if it is upset.
