You'll have to add a solenoid. Since you'll control it from your keyless entry, there's no need to install the switch that's included, but you will need to add a relay. Here are just a few sites that carry the part you need. https://www.commandoalarms.com/itm90005.htm , https://www.avsmarts.com/cgi-bin/avs/CS-611.html , https://www.asianwolf.bigstep.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=1068694%7C1069136&PRID=1099345

we need to know what kind of car you have. what type of trunk release do you have with the car. do you push a button from the inside to open it or do you have to pull a release beside the drivers seat.

sinple4u, here's the diagram you need to install your trunk release kit to your viper alarm. You'll need a relay as well to connect the solenoid to the alarm.

Thank you cpgoose, I was reading through this post and I almost thought that not a single person who was trying to help had actually read the thread from the beginning until I read yours. I bet sinple-4u was going crazy.
