I wired the rear door popper to the third button on my remote. There's a tranny circuit you use to keep the rear door from activating when in anything but park.

"Metaphors be with you"
This is interesting...
John, do explain, please - especially the part about the third button (since the OEM alarm fob only has two buttons on it.). Do you have an aftermarket alarm?
And what transmission circuit did you use for this? That's brilliant!! You don't know how many times I have accidentally popped the rear hatch reaching for the stereo controls while in motion!!
I guess he must have an aftermarket alarm
About the transmission circuit he's probably talking about running a neutral wire to the park position that only engages when the shifter is in park & the 12 current voltage running thru that circuit allows the alarm's module to receive the remote's signal
Dakar was just the begining.
Dang...I thought getting the hatch popper button would be next on my list....sounds like it's going to cost too much for me to have my audio guy do it.
VehiGaz, no problem contradicting me, quite the opposite, thanks to you (and all the others)for helping me better "understand"......no, scratch that......for helping me see that I won't be getting a hatch popper button working on my remote any time soon!
BTW, on my OEM remote, the 2nd button says "hatch", does yours say "option"? Mine is an Isuzu OEM remote, but I bought it used, so it may not have gone to a VX I guess.

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
No, that's not where I was going at all! The mod you cited works - it just doesn't use the "Option" button like Os suggested (btw, it says "option" not "hatch" on my VX alarm fob). Instead, it uses two presses of the lock/unlock button on the alarm fob. Your alarm guys should be able to git 'er done no problem!
