it's all integrated to one unit, there's a door handle(prevent you from kidnapping hookers or alike), a remote controlled motor which slide the handle, and there's a cable run to it from the driverside trunk release.

need pic?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking about, but here are the installation instructions for a trunk opener for a 6th gen.:

The motor you will align parallel to the part where the cable pulls the trunk open. So when you activate the solenoid it pulls the cable opening the trunk.

Typically you would hook this up to your alarm right? so ditch the push button switch you have included. the bracket you would know what to do. the relay and hook up to your alarm is basic stuff for your electrician


where did you get yours? how much was it and whats the brand you got?

Thanks

i did it in my g/f's 90 accord. i pretty much screwed the solenoid to the crossmembers under the trunk lid. the solenoid i bought from http://www.allelectronics.com had a little 3screw adapter that i put onto the rod that connects to the lock. then connected the rod of the solenoid to that, ran wires to the keyless unit. doesn't work by remote right now because i needed a relay, which i'm installing this weekend, but i hardwired it and it works fine. i can take pics this weekend if you want
