I like having the switch and I figured most people would too. But it's not necessary if you just want to pop the trunk from your remote. If the reason you're not sure about the switch is not wanting a switch that looks out of place in your car, you could temporarily install (not actually mounting to the car) some cheap switch from like Advance Auto Parts. Just for when you're mounting the actuator to test its functon and to make adjustments to the rod if you need to. Run a fused wire from the battery + to the switch and a + wire from the switch to the + wire on the actuator. Then you could take out the switch when it's working right. The wiring for the switch isn't on the diagram so you could just follow it. If you're not mounting a switch, you're not running wire to the back of the car and you wouldn't need to remove many interior pieces. I guess just the rear deck would have to come out. You could always add the switch later if you wanted.

Great "How-To"...Thanks for the PM heads up and the write up....It's really well done and that's why I've decided to COPY it to the How-To Forum as well...(2thumbs)

Since you will no longer need the trunk lever anymore, it can be removed for the EDM gas lever. You will need to get a gas lever for a P5.

Where on earth did you find this thing. None of my local dealers say they have it even after i gave them the part number.

EDIT: Never mind, I found one at a junk yard. Now i just gotta wait for UPS to deliver that actuator. This mod is pretty sweet man =D
