Remote Boot release

[kimcote]

Does anyone know where I can buy a remote boot release?

Several threads suggest Mod-Wise, but the guy at TMS told me they had gone out of business and I cant get through on the phone.

I'm just tired of getting out of my Chim, going to boot and realising I havent opened it. Doh!

Try talking to Carl Baker

I believe he has a solution for this.

I bought a Mod-Wise one, where you dab a magnet on the rear panel at EXACTLY the right spot and the boot pops open. I had a rear end shunt so the nice man at PR Wood fitted it at the same time as the repair.

Couple of problems - it was designed for the early Chim to go behind the number plate, and in mine its behind a thick bit of glassfibre, and second, it comes with a puny magnet which needs absolute precision (with no external guide or clue as to the spot) to work.

Solution - use a Scalextric magnet (small and very strong), and memorise the position carefully, and it works most of the time. The magnet slips into the keyfob, so its quite neat, and better than switching the ignition on each time.

Agree with above - try Carl Baker. Fitted remote boot fob for £110 to my Griff and is excellent piece of kit.Just press custom made fob and boot opens, with alarm on or off. Mod wise kit is good and much cheaper!
