Most of the time you can just use the wire off the alarm but it depends if it's strong enough. Most systems produce anywhere from a 250 - 500 mA output on the trunk release wire. Try hooking it up and if it works great, if not, then use a relay.

Most Accords have a positive trigger trunk release, so a relay will be needed. I guess posting the year of the vehicle would have been too difficult.

I did that, and it works great. I have a 2002 focus with negative trunk release switch. Just connected the negative wire on alarm to the negative wire in the trunk switch. When i press both buttons on my remote i hear a relay click. So it works for me.
