Default Hatch release button ?

I was wondering what all is involved in installing a hatch release button. My camaro didnt have one when i bought it and taking the other key off the ring gets old after a while.

Ive seen the buttons themselves for sale, but what all is needed to hook up the system? any wires, cables, etc?

thanks

Youll need to find a car that has it. Grab the solenoid from the latch and the switch. The rest is simple wiring and hook up. Id place it in a stock location.

Shouldnt be too hard.

I never knew there were some that didn't come with this... Not to sound stupid but are you sure you are looking in the right spot for it?

A lot of people coming from LT1's don't realize it isn't in the glove box anymore...

I thought they all came with the power hatch release. The wiring should be right there just need the switch and solenoid. U can change the spring while ur there too

Some of the base model v6's did NOT have a power hatch. Or maybe even the "stripper" z28s I don't know. But yeah alll you need is the button and the lock in the back. Maybe the wiring. Thats if its not impossible to get to

wires and plugs are already there. i went to the dealership and the solenoid was like $25. just screw it on and plug it in, theres already a plug by the latch. and under the kick panel there is another plug wrapped with foam.
