Hi All.
I've been reading this post with interest, like most things we always correct things after the event, like me for instance putting crash bungs on your bike after I've had a off, Doh !! Anyway back to this thread, last week for some reason I decided to re-route my "emergency boot release cables" (EBRC) before the event, as one day I will do it, ie lock my keys in one of the boots, the main reason I did it was, it would be a bit of a bugger getting access to the EBRC without taking the wheel off as mentioned in Kenny Boxster post earlier, I think he may not have had to do this yet, as if like most people the locking wheel nut socket is located in the tool roll in the Boot !! that's my first point, the other point is when I was doing this modification when testing the EBRC yes it will open the boot, but also the car alarm will go off and as ChrisZang said it goes into "don't steal me mod" and that means you can't open the doors to operate the other manual boot release switch in the cabin, so make sure you know what boot you left your keys in, or be prepared for a long annoying noisy time until you get the EBRC for the other boot.
All I need now to get into my boots is the knowledge of where to find my EBRC's it would take me less then a minuet to gain access to each boot, I may not ever need to use them but at least I now know it's not going to be a pain in the back side when I do
