I have installed popup of all doors on lanos. So I have remote entry without keys, or door lock. Just remotly open the door...

The popper only opens the latch momentarily so you do not need the key to lock the boot again.
If the boot does physically pop up and open a little when you press the button to open it, you will have to install a small spring.
The spring will move the boot open just enough so that it will not lock again with the lid still shut.
If the boot does not open, it will lock again with it still closed.

Think of it this way:
You turn the knob on the front door on your house. If the door is not opened, and you let go of the handle, it will turn back by itself and the door will still be closed.

If you put that idea to the boot of your car, if you press the button of the boot popper and the bood lid does not open, it will latch closed again. Since I have not yet received or installed a boot popper on my car, I do not know if I need to add a spring to make it open a little so it does not latch closed again.

You need springs on lanos... I have made custom small spring just for that. It pops doors for about 2 inch...

As you sad, locking is no longer needed, and also centrall door locking system is no longer needed... I have used centrall door locking actuators, and covert door locks a little bit to make those actuators a door popers...

Only trunk actuator wasn't strong enough, so I added magnet poper to trunk lock...

All doors can be open inside with buttons, and outside remotly...

Still, I didn't remove door handles, or knobs, or how do you call it...

So your saying once you pop the boot then open the boot fully, once uve closed it you dont have to turn the key in the lock to actually lock the trunk?

I am saying that the lock mechinism only stays unlocked for the length of time you hold the button down.

If you hold the button down and the boot is not opened, it will lock.
If you hold the button down and the boot open, even 2cm (just enough to lear the latch), it can be opened.

You do not need the key to lock it agai as the lock mechinism returns to it's orrigional locked position when the solinoid does not have power applied (such as the button being pressed).

I got an email from the company where I ordered the alarm and locks.
They said they are back ordered 2 weeks.

That isn't fun.

mister_g ... Please do not confuse Chris when you talk about your shaved door handles. That is not what he is asking about and he seems to be having a difficult time understanding how the trunk release works.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info Oz i get ya now, i emailed A1 Electronics, they said itd cost the same price as the boot popper a few times over for shipping, customs etc to Aus. Does anyone know where i can get one in Australia? Not from Ebay preferably....

TheGreatAndPowerfulOz · Tue Feb 07, 2006 2:52 pm

All the parts have been shipped and are scheduled for delivery on Monday, 13 Feb.

I want Monday to hurry up and get here (LOL) so I can install everything on Tuesday.

I have installed little springs to pop that poppy enough for relasing the latch...

Only got a problem with trunk... That springs aren't strong enough!

TheGreatAndPowerfulOz · Tue Feb 07, 2006 7:07 pm

I will have to find a spring (or springs) that will pop the trunk enough so it does not lock after it is released.

just to confuse you all a bit more... in the lowrider world.. this is a popper

now.. this is used to push the door open when the SOLENOIDS is activated. it has the ability to push a 50lbs door open about 1 inch

this is the alternative to the remote buttons. its just a manual version of it.
