Hello, sorry for my english, I'm french.

I've a x30xe of 2000, and to open the truck from inside, I should remove the key and push the button of trunk. How can I open the trunk without turn off the engine and remove the key ?

Thanks

The 2000 model, you have to remove key from ignition

Options are to change the alarm ECU (not starightforward), or do "Hillpers Boot mod" which has some unfortunately side effects.

This was a feature of early facelifts, you cannot open boot (trunk) within ignition on. Later ones allowed a 3 second push to do this, as it was a very annoying feature.

You can modify it so it does work with key in ignition:

Out of curiosity, (and having only ever owned estates), what are the side effects

Can think of one significant one, feel free to PM rather than post if my thinking is correct

That it I'm almost dissappointed

Wasn't my first thought...

2 downsides, the bloody courtesy light doesn't go out when you start the car, and its ever so easy to accidentally pop the boot which fumbling for the CDC button

That's my new thing for the day
