I was looking at the boot lock and to this day I've never used the mechanical key. So I thought to myself...

Fortunately for me, my boot lock is not visible . . . you have to put the key in vertically upwards to get to it on the estate. I never use it either, and it points down at a very interesting angle . . . . (you can guess what I'm planning to do to it although it won't be as cheap as your mod, Steve ) !!

I've only used the button on the boot to open it about 2 or 3 times, I usually use the release button in the cockpit or on the keyfob. One of the really useful things they put on facelift carsOriginally posted by Alps
...then the solonoid to open it!and a switch on the inside and wiring it.. more money no
but yeah...smoothed tailgate would be cool!

When you press the button, I think it still uses the solenoid, try opening the boot and then while it's open press the button and listen...you hear a mechanical/motor type noise!Originally posted by Steve_Perry
...even if the lock barrel cover is in place you can still press the barrel on the boot for a manual lid release, if desired.

funny that..mines got most of the facelift stuff, like front lights and all the switches and wiring, but not other stuff like the boot lid, and remote release!
its like its somewhere in between facelift and pre facelift!
used all the old bits that were left over!
weird!
Well, it's mainly because every C36 AMG model essentially started life as a pre-facelift C280 elegance, then AMG did their magic.Originally posted by Alps
