Al, after further thinking the method I described before
will work fine, but will open the trunk only when both
buttons on the remote are pressed.  This is the normal
method when using the KEU to operate the door locks.

If you are not going to EVER use the remote door locks, you
could wire the KEU to open the trunk using just one of the
buttons.  It looks like if you connect the green wire to
ground, and then connect either the white/black wire or the
pink/black wire (depending on whether you want to use button
1 or button 2 respectively) to the trunk solenoid per the
wiring diagram.  At a later date, if you added door lock
control, just move the wire going to the trunk lock solenoid
to the purple/white wire.

Al, check out these write-ups on Miata.Net:
http://www.miata.net/garage/trunkrel.html and
http://www.miata.net/garage/doorlock_99.html  These are
written for the '99 but the principles are the same.

The green and blue wires that would normally go to the door
solenoid are just left unconnected.  Tape up the ends so
that they do not short anything.  You really only need to
connect the red, black, and purple/white wires from the
controller.  Everything else can be left unconnected.

Hope this helps.

Subject: remote keyless trunk


Has anyone installed an autolock keyless remote trunk kit. I
have the
electric part working fine but am not sure of the remote
electrical
hookup. I would like to talk to someone that has installed
this unit
before I hook 12v to it.<grin> My main problem is that since
I am not
using keyless doorlocks, what do I do with the green wire
coming from
the module. I know I use the purple/white wire to go to the
relay. Any
help would be appreciated.
