Hydraulic Trunk Remote Opening on BMW e38 740iL

Additional Info: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3033453
A weekend mod on a BMW 740iL (e38). Works via original trunk opening and the added closing button, and via factory remote both opening and closing action.

The previously mentioned as a mother-of-all mods by some but I spent an hour designing the circuit diagram using 4 regular relays, 2 timer relays, and 3 rectifiers (diodes if you may), and 10 hours of drilling, filing, sanding, poking, routing, fishing, wiring, shoving, etc., on all those stuff for the system in the trunk of my BMW e38.
The result is more than satisfying. No need to reprogram/recode the car.

Hi! I just saw this youtube. I would say it's awesome to do it yourself. By the way I'm interesting to put the hydraulic to my e38's trunk. Can you advice me, where to get the whole stuff? By the way I'm leaving in bangkok also..

Thanks in advance..

@elliotswann Yeah, that´s true as well, ha, ha, ha. xD

@E34Benzin haha, but with the time it'd take me to figure out how to do it, then actually do it, I could have opened and closed the trunk a thousand and one times XD

@elliotswann

Aren´t you lazy to open the trunk manually? That´s the point. xD Big job, but then you have an auto-trunk!!

Good job! Sadly, the badging on the decklid is retarded.
