I have a dealer installed KARR alarm on my 2002 Accord. I don't use the "trunk open" channel on my

transmitter because the LX model does not have that feature. Any of you HOT SHOTS out there got

any ather uses for the extra channel that I can easly implement? Thank you.

Hey Shadow

Try using the main unlock out for drivers door priority and the rest of the doors unlock using trunk out................ trunk channel -- posted image.

Hey Shadow,

That extra channel can also be used for window venting with a simple relay add-on and a 4700mfd cap in parrallel with the coil for a 3 second timer. trunk channel -- posted image.

You could also use it to close the contacts on your garage door opener via a relay, horn honk with or without light flash as a car finder, turn your stereo on and off, squirt water from your washers at people that get too close, or operate anything else that has a switch or that you can add a switch to.

OR you can add a trunk release solenoid and use the trunk EXT for what it's supposed to be for ?

If that's what you call normal........ I want no part of it........ trunk channel -- posted image.

Personally I would use the trunk EXT to open the hood or to use as a power window control. Pretty basic, but effective none the less trunk channel -- posted image.
