Remote boot opener

[glynlucas]

Since my car does not have a remote for the central locking, I've made one. I have two remote buttons one to set/unset doors and alarm and another to remotely open the boot. However, I can't figure out how the current boot switch works.
Does anyone know where the relay is for the boot solenoid? The Bible circuit diagram doesn't seem to show the boot switch circuit at all (maybe I'm just blind!)

There isn't one, you have an ignition live supply to one side of the boot opening switch and this goes straight to one side of the solenoid in the boot. The other side of the solenoid is earthed.

When I had my boot plipper fitted, it was wired into the passenger panel that's behind the velcro-ed flap at the left hand side of the passenger seat.

Do you mind if I ask who fitted it, or what kit was fitted?

Sure - it was done by Noel Flannery at V8 Sports, and it was a Meta kit - he then put the original door plipper into the ignition key (like the Cerbie), so that I didn't have too many plippers on the keyring.

Thanks for your input guys. I managed to complete the wiring and now have remote locking and remote boot opener. Total cost £35.00 using standard parts from Maplin electronics.
