 Marginally functional May 17, 2007
By H. Ho
For being an aftermarket trunk release solenoid, Viper should have considered that not all trunk latches are as friendly with these solenoids. The solenoid is not powerful enough to pull open the spring-ed latch on the trunk release of my 94 honda accord. No matter how you position the pull-line of the solenoid you cannot remotely open your trunk with the kind of power this solenoid puts out. I wound up breaking the spring on my latch. Although the remote trunk release works now, the trunk only latches shut 10% of the time. The only way you can get this to work on a latch like this is to reduce the spring tension to where it is just enough for the solenoid to pull open and enough that the latch will work properly when the trunk is closed. Another possibility is to lengthen the arm you want your solenoid to pull thereby increasing the torque that the solenoid can work with.
Updating my reviews...I just wish I can drop another star from this item.

Provided green wire is way too short Aug 06, 2009
By Chun He
I managed to make it work with my 99 Camry LE yesterday.
The installation is tricky and I was lucky I found a magic place in the locking mechanism to hook the steel wire.
The provided green wire is way too short. I ended up buying additional wire. The trunk release switch is crappy. It doesn't work most of the time. Fortunately, I hook it up with a relay from my bulldog ke1702 keyless entry. And that works all the time.
Also, grounding is important. If the grounding on the trunk lid is not good, route another wire to a factory grounding point on the body.
The most difficult part is not electrical but mechanical. There's no standard way to hook the steel wire. I took the locking mechanism out and studied a bit. I found a spot where only a little force and moving distance needed to open it. The spot is on the actual movement which locks the latch and it doesn't interface with the manual trunk release cable and the arm operated by the trunk key.
Despite the reviews I purchased anyway Aug 18, 2011
By sikr
Despite the reviews I purchased anyway. Installation was easy, diagrams were easy to follow. Solenoid pulls the lock fine when testing with a screw driver, but when my trunk latches it, the solenoid does not have enough power to pop the trunk. Would have loved to give this 5 stars, but unfortunately I now need to buy a different solenoid and throw this one in the trash.
 Lacks power, push button very cheap Jul 09, 2011
By StrikeEagleCC
I installed this on my '00 Camry today. The solonoid simply has too little power and travel to be effective. While the travel is sufficient for my application, it may not be for yours. The spring tension on my latch is not strong at all, but this thing can only pull it open one out of two times. Unacceptable. The push button is also terrible, but even on a relay, this solonoid just will not perform. Look elsewhere.
Too weak to open trunk Jun 22, 2011
By Kerry
I installed this into a Honda Civic, and the solenoid was too weak to open the trunk latch.
The push button is also poorly made - the threads for the plastic nut that holds the button in place did not match well with the button. I had to silicone the button in place so that it would hold.
Wires are also too short.
I would not recommend this purchase.
