How this circuit work :-

In order to this circuit work, you need to have 2 button remote for door lock.
By pressing LOCK button, it will trigger left relay, charge the capacitor and trigger middle relay.
Within a few second, you need to press UNLOCK button to trigger right relay and release door lock as well release trunk.

Not really bro. It only work with 2 remote (lock & unlock) button. If stock remote myvi/viva/alza, it did not work coz only have 1 button lock & unlock.

In order to release trunk, need to press LOCK button and siren will beeping, then within a few second press UNLOCK to unlock door & trunk.

If press only unlock, it only unlock door.

You will still require to install an electronic release actuator on the trunk lock. My Preve comes standard with trunk release. IMHO, it's no biggie. May cause unnecessary worry that the trunk opens on it's own. Specially worse when some owners install springs which automatically jacks up the lid. Guess, I am just old fashioned.

Peace
