I want to buy a shaved cf trunk but im not sure how the lock assembly works. will it bolt right up and pop when i press the button? what do i need to do.

 

to put the lock assembly in you go to the dealer tell them ur vin. they make you an assembly that will fit ur key. then to put it in its kinda a bitch, if you have little mechanical ability i dnt recommend doin it urself. you have to put the assembly together then put in 7 teeth i believe it is, you put them in one at a time, then when its complete you put it in the whole then put a locking ring on it to hold it. its been a while since i did it but im pretty sure it goes just like that. wen i put on my carbon trunk im jus going to leave that part not cut out and jus use the button on the dash and fob

 

so there is no way i can take the lock assembly off my stock trunk and put it on that one?

 

i dnt kno about that. id go to ur dealer and jus ask someone chill in service. i dnt think thats possible but maybe

 

cuz if i could remove the keyhole latch without damaging the electronics it should work just by poping the trunk? dang this sucks cause i really want to get the trunk without the third brake light and keyhole it looks so much better. i just dont wanna spend a whole bunch of money to fix the lock assembly to work off my trunk button. i would almost rather just get a regular cf trunk to avoid this.

 

mos cf trunks come without the brake light and keyhole cutout. you have to cut it urself so jus leave it. except those parts will be recessed in the cf

 

i just wanna know if i mount that piece back in if it will work. cause i can make it work. the trunk popper has no connection to the keyhole the keyhole manually opens it by turning the latch the popper should just turn it by the press of a button.even if i remove the keyhole part. it shouldnt need it. sorry if i seem like a noob. i know cars im just confused about this lol

 

oh ur saying jus to make it look like theres a key. ya the button will still work. if you jus want that then jus remove ur old one and jus put it in there however who cares about the teeth if ur not going to use the key. on my balt right now theres not even a keylock

 

i just want the popper not the keyhole. how did you get yours to work?

 

i shaved off the key hole on reverse lights off my trunk. i hooked the lock assembley back up without the part the key goes into and now u need to use the key fob to pop the trunk. so yes what u want to do will work.

 

sweet man i appreciate it thanks thats what i needed to know.

 

one other thing is u want to move ur buttons that drop the back seat. cause if u lose battery power u need to be able to get to the manual pull on the trunk to pop it.

 

yeah ile do that sweet im just glad my idea is gonna work.

 

I'm thinking aboutnshaving my stock trunk and am wondering how will imbe able to get my trunknif my battery dies. Anyway to get a mechanical switch for the inside of my car? Any ideas?

 

Move the back seat latches like mentioned above

 

the trunk popper still works if the lock part is not in there just bolt the black latch part into the trunk and it works fine

 

will i be able to open the actual trunk from the inside then?

 

yes but you have to do the trunk latch relocation mod. its easy

 

yes... they are cables and can EASILY be relocated.

 

How do you remove the key lock from the latch? I can't get it out fu stock trunk.
