Default Trunk release question

I have a 94, but would like to add the remote trunk release. Assuming I got the parts of a 95+, is it a feasible project?

Very easy. Just need the cable, and the handle inside the car. The locks will not switch over, so that's the only problem. But the latch in the truck is already setup to recieve the cable.

Good! I'll start looking for the cable and latch immediately.

The only tough part is ripping out the interior to do it. It has to go behind all the panels on the driver's side. Other than that, piece of cake.

Eh, I'm no stranger with ripping out various piece of interior. I had to run wiring for my sister's CD changer in her 6th gen Civic LX under everything, what a pain. Previously, I had completely disassembled the interior of my '82 Volvo 244 DL (for various reasons, including wondering just how far the rust had spread... it was very very bad)... and most of the interior of my '88 Volvo 740 Turbo, because the previous owners had a really poor alarm, wired really strangely. Virtually the whole front half of the interior had to come up. Turns out it was originally done by some "professional" garage in NJ, I checked the records they left me in the glove box, they got charged like $300 for the install...!

I'm glad mine didn't come with a trunk release. I'd rather have one that's power and doesn't have power when the alarm is on. I never lock the release latch anyway cause it's too inconvient.
