mawby Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Did the Supra ever come with one? I've found what looks like the workings of a factory electric boot release in Genna's UK spec but we can't figure out how to operate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hmmm, never seen one with it. I know Graham's UK spec didn't have it, wouldn't be difficult to fit and with clifford alarms having multiple features would be a nice add on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My UK doesn't have one. Like Gav said, it's probably an extra on the car alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 TrickTT (Rich) installed a solenoid and wired his into the Clifford to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 It looks factory to me, its even wired directly into the factory loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That looks like a normal boot lock to me, unless I'm missing something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hmmmmm.... Nice idea though to make it electronic off the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 In my defense I never open the boot from the outside so completely forgot about the key lock, and when I saw the cables connected to it I made the huuuugggeee jump from common sense to "Oh look at that it must be an electric boot release". Oh the shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Nice idea though to make it electronic off the remote. My current supra has that (see pic), it's an option on the clifford alarm. The unit is partially hidden behind the panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 You have a few extra wires aswell Homer, about 25kg's worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I do have to defend the Poor boy. We have been working 18 hours on my car so we both ache and are very tired lol. Still the inside is starting to look better and I’ve made a good start getting the paint that was splattered all over it off:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 LMAO. That is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I also managed to identify a couple of rattles from the boot which I've now fixed. The foam on this cable wasn't far enough around to stop it tapping against the body work. But out of curiosity what are these wires for? (As these little buggers are what started me on my little electric boot release trip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 In my defense I never open the boot from the outside so completely forgot about the key lock, and when I saw the cables connected to it I made the huuuugggeee jump from common sense to "Oh look at that it must be an electric boot release". Oh the shame. Classic. Can we combine this with the How do I open the bot without using the key? thread. They complete each other. In anticipation of your next thread....... ....They are both below all that pipework on the left of the engine as you look at it ...and the red button by the gearstick in J-Spec autos does what??

mawby Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Indeed I did, which is why I couldn't work out how it had an electric release when everything looked stock. I thought it might have been a UK optional extra we didn't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
