  • Unlock boot with keyfob

    Hi all.

    My car is a my14 insignia elite hatch.

    I have the two keys that came with the car but they only have lock/unlock and no option to unlock the boot.

    Both keys have blank bottom halfs.

    Is there away to unlock the boot so I don't have to find the release catch when carrying shopping?

    Failing that I've noticed there are a few keys on Ali express. Would swapping the inards of my key with one of these work?

    Thank you

    Boot pop is only available on estate versions as far as I am aware I used to have an Astra that had the same blank key button

        In my experience i only know 1 person that has a remote boot opening on the Hatchback, this is on a 2009 model.

          Hmmm possible retrofit? Can't imagine that it isn't already installed. They just don't give it a option on the key. Maybe due to the hatch opening quite high which would be a issue in the car park.

            There is no power in the struts and the hatch is pretty heavy
