Newb with rear door question

(alarm disarmed)

Quick FYI... the stock alarm is not affected by the rear door.

That's sort of the problem with the whole idea, sadly. There isn't a lock AND a latch on the back door. There is only a latch operated by a lock. So, while you could replace the key with a button, then you'd lose the lock unless you figured out some other way to disable the button.

There are some interesting options, though. You could conceivably patch it into the dome light, so you're only able to operate the button if one of the other doors is already open.

For myself, the spring popper works well enough most of the time, but I would love to have it on the remote.

Espritemike, I've done the mod you're asking about. I installed a pull actuator and cable to unlatch door. Added a all weather plunger switch in the handle pocket of the rear door. A micro switch attached to the drivers door power lock arm switches a relay to power the rear door only when doors are unlocked. And I added a plunger switch in with the doom light so if rear door is opened alarm will go off. I've had it in for 3 years now and it still works fine.
You can see pics in my gallery, I can't seen to load them in this post for some reason....

Raque Thomas did a write-up after figuring out how to get the rear door popper to active with two pushes on the stock remote.

I did the mod that TREKker posted and it works like a charm.
