Any NEW ideas for the Dummy Switches in the Sport Package?

I installed a base control knob for a subwoofer in one of mine... it'll help if you install a subwoofer too

Most cars have it so why not a switch for the rear hatch. Should be easy to find the circuit. Just a thought.

yeah that's always irked me that I can't hit a button and pop the hatch for my wife when she wants to put something in there.

Me, too. I also would like to pop the hatch for Huck's wife from inside the car.

Just kidding, I had looked into this, but I was told that the wiring would be complicated. Actually, I had looked into replacing the blank button for the non-sports-package Z where S mode would normally be engaged.

I'm guessing that all you would need to do is use the switch to complete a ground from the actuator. Simple, really....... Easy enough to test if that would work.

I did the same thing to turn on the radiator fans on my Vette.

Well, you have to make the decision to either run the wire to the trunk release or installing a wireless sensor where there wasn't one. The function of the button, unless I'm mistaken, is centralized in the rear of the vehicle.

I'm not at all experienced in wiring vehicles, but I was going off of what a reputable shop had told me concerning the install.

I may have to look into this while my interior is disassembled this spring.... I would like to wire a remote release into the trunk switch too!

^ The G37's have the circuit.
