Fitting a boot button to an ES...

Postby zeroshift » Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:59 am

I've found someone who wants to swap my VRX boot with their ES. I'm happy to give them the boot button, but I want to know whether their ES will have the connection in the wiring loom so that they can actually use it (otherwise, I suspect they may turn me down). Otherwise, is it one of things you can get Mitsubishi to do?

The boot button on the VRX is tied into the smart key system that has a proximity sensor, the ES does not have this standard and I am doubtful it could be added easily or cheaply.

Hmm... what happened to my posts?

Thanks Chubb. I wasn't sure whether the boot button function might just be hard wired into the locking mechanism alone. Maybe not.

For future reference - the wiring loom plug did indeed exist on the ES - but the boot button didn't work. They didn't care though.

the smart key itself is worth $350 to get made. hate to see how much the entire locking system cost.
