206cc boot unlock with plip, mux 2003 model, anyone done it?

The 206cc plip will only lock, not unlock the boot. In order to unlock the boot, you need to use the key every time :( I'm trying to mod this on my

2003 mux model, I wondered if anyone else had done it and suceeded and can give me some pointers?

These instructions (in German) explain how to do this on the 2001/2002 models (non mux) and suggest on that model they ground the "unlock" side of the boot actuator and only connect up the +12v pulse to the "lock" side of it. Restoring (re-running) the "unlock" pulse wire to the BSI restores this. One of the mods given here adds a microswitch so the boot only unlocks without the key when the roof is up.

I had a quick look at mine and the two cables disappear into the loom down the left hand side with a yellow/green and light brown cable (numbers

10425/2010 and 21/0710). I ran out of time to look further for now but if anyone has any pointers I'd be grateful. I'm just conscious on the mux model they may have run both wires back to the BSI and disabled the feature in software.

Cheers Dave

whatsoever you will end up in deep shit

Well that's true but it's a pain in the rear that it doesn't unlock with the plip when there's no good reason why not.

I think the idea was that the car locked with the roof down (deadlocks off) could be opened by pulling the door lock up and then the boot would be open. But it takes 20 seconds to put the roof back on you'd be a moron to leave the car unattended with the roof off anyway, it's an excuse for someone to fill your car with rubbish!

Volts is volts though, the BSI shouldn't be too upset, it has to provide the

12v to open the door actuators, why not the boot too?

Cheers, Dave
