It should be a simple splice-in to/cut the current trunk button wires, connect new wires and run new wires to the location you want.
Did this for my O/D button.

the only way into the trunk on 05-09 is the key or the button on the key chain

Does you Boss have a trunk release button?


Anyways, sorry about that, here what I found, guess you have to splice into the white with pink stripe wire. its from a guys comment on the SHR button kit. Info is towards the bottom..

SilverHorse racing has a button, Its a very simple splice in install, instructions on their site...I need to order a few of them, the keyfob thing is irritating when dropping the kids off at school with a trunk full of bookbags
