Any way to open rear hatch...
 

without getting out of the car ? Remote, push button or cable ? Aftermarket/DIY something??

This is one of my major pet peeves. When I get modding money next, I am seriously going to look into it. My idea is to place a trunk release button where the sport mode button would be, since I have a base and therefore have no S mode.

Wondering if I can make that a reality. I'll probably talk to AAM about it, and if I do something like that, I'll post a DIY, you can be certain.

I think spearfish found something on this in the interior/exterior section.

Darn right he did :).

Maybe My1stz wants to be the guinea pig and try it.

i have a remote hatch opener. if someone could tell me the point of being able to open the hatch without actually being there to take things out or put things in i'd be curious. FYI you don't need the FOB to open the hatch as long as the car is unlocked.

It's just a courtesy thing for my passengers. If I'm dropping someone off at, say, the airport, I'd like to pop the latch as they exit the vehicle. It's not like I need to do that. It's just a luxury. Rather do that than have them grope around for the button or have to get out and show them where it is.

well here's what i'm thinking. the only person i'd really be concerned with being 'courteous' to with car chivalry is a girl. And chances are if i'm dropping off a girl somewhere that i'd actually care about being courteous to, i'd get out and help her with her stuff. :tup:If its a friend i would be like 'the button is above the license plate.'
just playing devils advocate. Then again i could always just use the hatch opener on my viper remote :tup:

It all stems from someone unfamiliar with the car trying to open it on their own. Two examples that have come up for me:
1. Friend getting in/out car and wants to put bag in/take out of the back.
2. Driving into secure facility and someone wants to search the back of the car (happened a couple times to me actually)

I run into the same thing. Again, it's a niche luxury. Like, I don't understand why folks spend so much on NAV. I've got google maps. Problem solved. It's subjective to the owner.

Plus, Jeff, now that I know you've got this attitude, my panties are shut, mister.

Easy solution, Don't Carry any Friends!!

Not a problem when you don't have any :(

That trunk release button would come in real handy. It's kinda hard to manually open the trunk with a pick and shovel under my arm and hands when I take the body out of the rear compartment.....even harder when you have to tote a chainsaw on those special dayz........

By your posts on my wall? I can see why. :roflpuke2:

its ok, your junk hangs out of the side. you're not supposed to wear panties if you are a man. you are supposed to wear 'manties,' which are panties designed to carry some junk.

Here is another switch from japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE
Nissan: 25381 SWITCH ASSY, TRUNK OPENER
I am guessing it is just the switch without any cable or latch release mechanism.

Hey I'm not alone here with this.

I just want to fyi everyone that there is an emergency hatch release in the trunk, i will get pictures of it. i believe the general census on the forum states that there is not such a thing in our cars.

there is a release. : ) we found it... when we closed someone in the trunk.. with the battery disconnected

Yea I know about that "mechanical" one already, I want an "electrical" button that will work with the mechanical

i have a ban from storing any bags in my car lol.... if my friend needs to get to the airport the cab driver gets out of his car and even picks up the bags and places them in the car...Cant get any more courtesy then that :)

:rofl2:

According to the service manual the rear trunk release is wired to pin 67 (color GR) of the BCM. To send a "release" signal the pin is shorted to ground.

So for implementation you would wire a momentary switch (like the SRM switch) spliced into pin 67 and the other wire to chassis ground or electrical ground.
