refer to http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=44083

"Missing from the Regal is an interior trunk release button and a scuff plate along the lower edge of the trunk opening. "

The '97 doesn't have a trunk release button.

The release wire can be found behind the glove box, brown at the relay. Negative trigger.

You should be able to just hook the channel output directly to the brown wire. The output is probably 200ma or less, but this should be ok, because you are just triggering the relay that controls the trunk pop motor.
