ivtec Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Just wondering if all gen Legacy's had a locking trunk release from the interior cabin? I like the idea of the latch lock inside the trunk(like the WRX)over the key lock from the release latch. I'm not sure about the Subaru's but my Honda had a locking latch like that before which was completely useless. If you pull hard enough the lock would break and the trunk would open. I want to have the cable from the remote latch taken out but noticed that there are no keyholes on the trunk lid. Only other way to open the trunk is with the keychain which i plan on getting rid of in favour of an aftermarket alarm. Wish they kept the lock like the WRX.

nKoan Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I don't know for certain, but it almost feels like there isn't a cable to release the trunk. I'd be its just an electronic trigger to a relay in the trunk that does the actual opening. And if that is the case, then the lock should do its job, since there isn't a mechanical barrier to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 My MY01, has a latch inside the boot u can flick so the handle inside the car (drivers side floor) doesnt work when you pull it. Tasty feature IMHO. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 You would install an aftermarket alarm that was unable to pop the trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivtec Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I was going to install an alarm with a remote trunk feature but what if it runs out of batt or does not work? if i go ahead and disconnect the cable and this happens I'm locked out of my trunk. I'll probably leave it for now and see how it is(if it's electric or not). I don't leave that much stuff in it on a regular basis but it's just peace of mind if i do.

John M Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 You can always stick a broomhandle through the armrest pass-through and trip the emergency escape latch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
