factory fob trunk pop

I searched and didn't find an answer to what I was looking for so here goes. I want to install a trunk solenoid to pop my trunk open but want to use the factory fob to control it. I drive an 05 Corolla and my fob has 3 buttons. Lock, unlock, and the panic horn button. I guess my question is how difficult would it be to use that panic button to pop the trunk. I don't need the panic option on my remote so I could just cut those leads. Is it possible to just override the panic option and use the signal to activate the solenoid using the panic leads? Any ideas? Appreciate it.

You can't use panic for that. You would need a channel creator to make an additional channel off your factory system.The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.

Do it right the first time... or I might have to fix it for ya

Ah, okay. Channel creator. Time for research. Any favorite suppliers or sources?

Peripheral makes one so do a web search for the name and channel creator and it should pull up some places that sell them.The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.

Very cool, thank you sir. The units I've found don't come with instructions. Is it easy to wire them or am I just missing everything.

They should have or how will you know how to wire it up. I would do a product manual search. What was the brand and model of the unit you found?The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.

I'll have to recheck. There might be a manual in the box but usually they show copies of them online. I didn't check extremely hard though.

Do you have any interest in adding an alarm too? Because you could get an alarm that works off the factory remote, and most of those give you an extra output as well. For example, the Audiovox Pursuit PRO-9233 (or the older PRO-9232a, or PRO-9232) have an output where, you just press "Lock, Unlock, Lock" on the factory remote, and the wire puts out a pulse. Also, unless you're really enamored with the remote you have, it wouldn't cost much just to get an aftermarket keyless entry with a trunk release output.

actaully, alarms are very basic and straight forward. If you have some knowlege about a DMM (digital multi meter) then you should be set. having wiring diagrams and the12volt, anything can be done.
