For mine, the switch doesn't work unless the car is switched on.

I am not trying to be negative or diminish your work in any way. Just trying to understand.

Maybe if I was explained what the advantage was, I would do it it.

Maybe this will help clarify it.


I'm with ct on this one. You still need to get back there to open the hatch. Friend of mine tried to open/close the hatch from the spoiler and I said ah ah. "It is only I who can touch her there".

Even so --- I still repped when rep is due.

Keep a long pole to push open the hatch from the inside. Assuming you can't just accelerate to close the hatch (like you can with the passenger door), tie a string to the hatch so you can pull it closed from the inside as well

Same here, everyone I know initially doesn't know where the external trunk release is situated so its easier for me to use an interior switch and saves me getting out of the car to open it for them.

2018+ Z's come with the switch anyway...

To conclude this thread today I ran the last wire to the BCM so everything works. It is indeed on the passenger side on a RHD - REP given to mlsully & DeleriousClam.

I can now open the trunk whether the ignition is on or off.

I have a 2019 model. The trunk can only be opened if the doors are unlocked. Haven't tried opening the hatch while driving though haha, but since the doors autolock when you're up to speed, it will be disabled.

Trunk switch also works without turning the car on.

So I like this mod for a few reasons but to answer the question of when it can be used click list pickup I don’t know how many times my wife has bought stuff and said go pick it up I have already paid for it, aka I can’t say i forgot to pick it up or I will get it another day, but try tell some dumb Kroger employe how to use the thing it just doesn’t work (no offense to any Kroger employees on here). And also it can be released when the car is running.

Yes, it turns on via the headlight switch along with the other cabin lighting.

If that's the case, which of the remaining blue and purple wires would be used for illumination and what is the extra wire used for, if anything? My pigtail came from a Nissan Murano, if that matters.



I’m giving this install a try this weekend on my ‘13.

- do the blue and purple wires from your harness tap into the same blue and purple wires at the bcm?

- did you split into the wires at the bcm and run under the carpets to the center console? Or did you find a way to identify the wires to splice closer to the actual switch?

You only connect one wire to the gray wire in the BCM. The other wire goes to ground. For the illumination pair of wires, use a test light to see which wire goes positive from one the harness plugs under the cup holder that's normally used for the heated seats. Connect the positive wire there and the other to ground.

Following up on this

I purchased the interior trunk release switch from Z1
https://www.z1motorsports.com/switch...h-p-13339.html

It's part #25380-JF00A

Unfortunately, it does not come with the plug, or harness that actually is needed to splice the necessary wiring to it to make it work.

I looked on various parts databases and couldn't find anything resembling the necessary wiring harness

How have others who wired this up done it?
