2012 Prius V trunk release not working

+1 vote

I have installed a EVO-all with EVO start 2 in my 2012 Prius V, SN:001A07018794, stand alone installation.

1. My oem key doesn't have the trunk release button, but it has a electric trunk release button on the hatch door. Is it means  the trunk release function can not work?

2. I didn't connect the autolight wires, is it only for alarm system? 

3. By the way, please remove the A11 from suggested options! My car doesn't have a hood trigger. It cause remote start stop working on the NEXT DAY broken heart

Thank you guys

The module mimics the oem lock/unlock/trunk release commands. If the oem does not have trunk option, it will not work.

If you absolutely need a trunk open option, the EVO-ONE has a dedicated analog output that you can connect to the trunk release switch.

If your lights turn off properly, you will not need the autolight connection.
