      I have a 07 mustang, how do I hook up the alarm remote to open my trunk? I have factory keyless-trunk open now.

      The smart junction box is in the pass. kick. Find a wht/prpl (NEG)- trunk pop, AND a wht/pnk (NEG)- trunk disarm. Pulse both neagtive, and diode isolate.

      Ok now I'm confused. From the alarm brain I have a -RED / white wire for trunk release. -blue wire for trunk input or trunk trigger.  From the car I now have trunkpin +WHITE/ yellow(not sure I should use this since its positive), trunk release -WHITE/ violet, or trunk disarm or trunk pin switch -WHITE/ pink. what do I need to diode or put a relay on? Or can I just hook up the two trunk -wires and call it good?

      The trunk pin is a trigger for the alarm that notifies you that your trunk has been opened. Depending on your alarm you may need to use a relay to boost the ground signal. the diodes would be there to keep the two trunk release wires from seeing each other.

      Ok So I hooked up the alarms -RED / white trunk release to my cars trunk release -WHITE/ violet. So thats good. Heres my problem. Alarm trunk trigger -blue....cars trunk pin +WHITE/ yellow. Couldn't figure out the relay thing So I hooked up the door trigger +violet to the cars +WHITE/ yellow. Any problems with this. Also I wasn't sure where to connect my tach signal on the injector. So I just tagged it to the first grey injector wire.
