I've installed a trunk popper in my 2006 Honda Civic, but did not integrate it with the car alarm nor use the new alarm system for anything other than the trunk release. it works fine but I need to unlock the car before I pop the trunk - otherwise the OEM alarm goes off. If I disconnect the two wire plug near the trunk release, it solves that problem, but then the trunk light doesn't work.

Is there a way to rewire that connector so that the trunk light works, but the alarm is not activated if you pop the trunk while the alarm is set? I'm just not sure which wire does what.

Pulse the factory disarm (brown @ the plug where you got the locks) at the same time you trigger your trunk pop. diode isolate.

I was hoping that there might be a simple way of just rewiring the feed to the trunk release. I just don't know which of those wires does what.

I gave you THE answer.... get out your meter.

The wires suck to get to....but!

Use the unlock pulse from the alarm you installed to trigger the disarm wire.

KarTuneMan gave you the correct answer. You bought an alarm just to have remote trunk release? Why didn't you integrate the alarm with the vehicle?

Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.

Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?

Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.

Can't you do what I do with Civics from about 2000? Disconnect old alarm unit, wire new to old, then you can't use the remote's trunk release unless your aftermarket alarm (which is now the only one oin the vehicle) is turned off. End of problem. Why cause complications?

Well, as it turns out, Kar TuneMan answered my question as well as yours. Getting at the wires sucks, and I was just too lazy to do it, but it looks like I don't have any other choice.
