Installing the trunk button on the Lada Vesta with your own hands. expert advice on choosing an accessory

Advantages

Now let's look at all the advantages of the Lada Granta.

1. I indicated the price in the minuses, but there is also a positive point in this. If there were no such car, I would have to buy Vesta for 700 thousand rubles or more.
2. ABS system in my configuration.
3. Electric power steering. It is easy to rotate even when the machine is stationary.
4. Air conditioner.
5. The on-board computer displays the main parameters.
6. If we compare the car with Kalina, then the stove here is much quieter. Only the air flow itself can be heard.
7. Good visibility, large exterior mirrors. I forgot to say in the negatives that the interior mirror is hard to see through the rear window. In a liftback body, part of the roof slightly blocks the view. There is no such problem in the sedan.
8. Inexpensive spare parts.
9. Bright headlights.
10. High ground clearance - ground clearance. I drove over rough surfaces a lot and didn’t catch the bottom anywhere.
11. Soft suspension, even compared to foreign cars.

Cost of opening a lock at a car service center

If you can’t open the trunk of a Lada Vesta using the key fob, you can unlock the doors without a key. But due to lack of experience, there is a risk of damaging the locking mechanism. You will need to carry out repairs or buy new locks. Therefore, it is better to entrust the operation of opening a car to car service workers. The main reasons for blocking the doors and luggage compartment of Lada Vesta SW, Cross and sedan:

• lost remote control;
• the castle froze;
• keys left inside the car;
• doors are blocked due to a faulty alarm system;
• The battery runs out.

The price of the service is low - from 800 to 2500 rubles, depending on the region. The waiting time for a technical assistance vehicle is from 15 to 45 minutes. Specialists will do the work on site carefully, without damaging the locks.

Good day friends, I once installed a touch button, but it turned out to be not a very good idea, this sensor is not at all friendly with water, so it was decided to buy everything as in the original. For a long time I already had a cover with a hole for a camera and a button for opening the trunk, a new model.

Installing a trunk release button on a Lada Vesta

One of the disadvantages of the Lada Vesta sedan, which is noted by many auto media, is the absence of a button to open the trunk lid.
This option is available on many foreign-made cars, which makes their operation noticeably more comfortable. Did you know that you can install a button on the trunk lid of Vesta yourself? You will need : buy a tailgate lock switch (for example, General Motors with part number 13393912), wires.

How to charge the battery?

You can revive the battery or recharge it in several ways:

• from another car - lighting a cigarette;
• using a charger;
• pusher or towing.

The most reliable and correct way is to use a memory

It is extremely important to monitor the charging process - the jars should not boil. Even on a hermetically sealed battery, this chemical process can be easily identified by hissing and gurgling.

A high-quality charger automatically controls the state of the electrolyte and voltage, alternating high and low charging current. Cheap Chinese chargers do not know how to do this, so the owner must monitor the process himself in order to turn off the 220 socket in a timely manner.

Malfunctions and repairs

The Lada Vesta rear view device is not characterized by high protection from environmental influences. SV Cross also has a similar drawback. In some cases, the original camera may fail after washing. Among the features of this case, we note the following points:

• As a result of poor waterproofing, water can get inside the structure, and this will lead to the appearance of oxide.
• To solve the problem with the formation of oxide, you will have to disassemble the entire system and dry the contacts, and then clean the surface of the resulting oxide.

Some problems cause the image to appear black or white. It is displayed if the multimedia device program crashes. If all contacts and devices do not have obvious defects, then the algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. To reboot the multimedia system, press the reset button.
2. RDS mode is selected in the device settings. It allows you to use hidden settings.
3. Among the information that appears, you need to highlight the one that is related to the version of the installed firmware.
4. Resetting to factory settings is carried out. This is done taking into account the fact that all settings will have to be set manually.

If the device stops working in cold weather, then there is a possibility of frost and snow appearing on the surface. Long-term use in such conditions can cause the appearance of oxide. When disassembling and cleaning the surface, you need to provide high-quality insulation, which will eliminate the likelihood of the problem reoccurring.

Sequence of actions if the battery on a Lada Vesta runs out

If Vesta's battery runs out, the first problem the car owner faces is the inability to open the door using the transmitter. The manufacturer took into account the possibility of such a situation, so it provided the possibility of getting into the cabin with a low battery.

Removing the decorative cover

First you need to remove the decorative plug. There is a groove at the bottom. By using it to pry the cover with the ignition key, it can be removed

When dismantling the plug in the cold, care should be taken, since the plastic is very fragile and breaks easily

The lock

The ignition key is used to open the door lock. If the machine cannot be unlocked, the cylinder should be treated with penetrating lubricant. In cold weather, you may need to warm up the lock or use special defrosting equipment.

Opening the door using the ignition key

If the battery is discharged, it will not be possible to close the doors in the normal way using the central locking system. The locks of all doors except the driver's are equipped with a special groove with a closing button.

Groove location

Having found the groove, you need to insert the ignition key into it.

The ignition key is inserted into the slot

Press the key down. Down button. If you slam the door, it will close.

Door ready to close

Using the above method, all three doors must be closed. The driver's door is locked with a key.

To start the power plant with a discharged battery, it is recommended to use a ROM. The starter-charger must be connected observing the polarity. The car can be turned off after 30-40 minutes. During this time, the discharged battery will have time to partially restore its charge.

The process of charging a dead battery

22 Jul 2019

Once in St. Petersburg there was a heavy downpour with a thunderstorm.

In itself, this event is not something unique, but it was after it at five o’clock in the morning that the alarm sent me a message about the low battery charge.

When I woke up in the morning, I ignored this message, chalking it up to random fluctuations in the sensors. However, in the evening of that day a surprise awaited me in the form of a car that refused to start.

The same night message about low battery charge

...with a capacity of 62 Ampere-hours and a starting current of 600A. Like any modern car, Vesta is equipped with a large amount of electrical equipment.

All kinds of sensors, navigator, radio, video recorder and other additional elements that drivers often install on their cars themselves are powerful consumers of energy.

Therefore, Lada car owners need to carefully monitor the battery and prevent it from being discharged.

Central and automatic locking/unlocking of door locks from the interior and outside of the car

Central door locking/unlocking.
To lock the locks of all doors from the passenger compartment, press the button on the instrument panel, the indicator on button 1 (Fig. 3) will light up for a while, then go off. If the hood, trunk or one of the doors was open when the button was pressed, the doors will unlock again. Close the doors, hood, trunk, press the lock button, all doors will be locked. The side door locks are unlocked when any front door is opened from the passenger compartment. To forcefully lock the doors, and arm them if any door is open, you need to press and hold the button for a while.

1. Door lock switch.
2. ESC (Electronic Stability Control) switch.

Note. Before forcefully locking, make sure that all passengers have exited the vehicle and that the ignition keys do not remain in the vehicle.

DRIVER RESPONSIBILITY

If you decide to drive with the doors locked, remember that this may make it difficult for rescuers to gain access to the vehicle in an emergency.
Enabling the automatic locking of the side doors when driving. With the engine running, press the central locking button on the instrument panel and hold it for five seconds. Immediately after pressing the button, the LED will light up and the doors will be locked. Turn off the engine. The function is activated.

Start the engine, after starting to move at a speed of about 10 km/h, the doors will automatically lock if they have not been locked.

The doors will unlock when you press the central locking button or when you open any door from the passenger compartment while the car is stationary.

Disabling the automatic locking of the side doors when driving. With the engine running, press the central locking button on the instrument panel and hold it for five seconds. The function is disabled.

Automatic unlocking of side doors in the event of an accident. In the event of an accident, if the airbags are deployed, the locks of all side doors are automatically unlocked.

Note. Central locking has protection for door locks against overheating. If the doors are locked and unlocked repeatedly within a short period of time, the system stops responding to pressing a button on the instrument panel, as well as to pressing buttons on the remote control. If this happens, do not press the button on the instrument panel or the buttons on the remote control for a while, after which the system will be fully restored.

Characteristics of Traction control system and principle of operation

Receiving a signal from indicators mounted on the wheels, the TCS traction control system monitors the rotation speed of the discs using a built-in electronic unit. If there is a sharp increase in the speed of rotation of one of the wheels, the TCS does everything possible to reduce traction and establish a stable balance. At the same time, the braking function operates due to electro-hydraulic actuators.

On the Lada Vesta, the anti-box works as follows:

• the option is indispensable on wet road surfaces and in other circumstances resulting in insufficient grip;
• using data received from sensors, the stabilization system knows about the speed of the torque and adjusts the indicators through the electronic system in a timely manner;
• anti-skid Lada Vesta significantly increases the level of balance when entering a turn;
• The anti-skid starts to work in high gears, and not all owners like the inappropriate assistance during a sharp start.

Conclusion

The opening button on the trunk lid will significantly simplify access to the compartment when loading and unloading. The driver no longer needs to look for keys or a keyhole, just place his palm on the touch panel.

At the same time, unprofessional installation does not guarantee high-quality and long-term operation of the mechanism. If necessary, use the help of service station specialists.

The trunk is a useful space for transporting luggage and various cargoes. Many motorists use the trunk more often than, for example, the back row of seats, so ease of access to this part of the car comes first.

For some unknown reason, Vestas do not have a trunk release button, so you have to constantly use the key or open the trunk from the passenger compartment. This is not entirely convenient, so it was decided to correct this situation.

In this article you will learn how to install a trunk release button on a Lada Vesta at home. The manual for installing the trunk button will be supplemented with informative photos, so everyone can repeat this.

Before starting the installation, we buy a button on the Internet (either “Ali”, or we take it from Chevrolet, although it is more expensive). You will also need 6 meters of wiring. We prepare the necessary tools (screwdriver, standard set of keys, file, rasp, hot melt glue, drill).

A neighbor showed how for 70 rubles he brought his Lada Vesta closer to the premium segment

Welcome to the channel! German Alexandrovich is with you.

Lada Vesta - a crude budget car

It may be good if we take into account only domestic cars. But there are a lot of shortcomings in it

And that's a fact.

Take, for example, opening the trunk. I don’t argue, there is a corresponding button on the key fob and it works. Not like in Kalina. And the trunk opens. Well, how does it open...

The lock unlocks. And then lift the lid with your hands. This is not a premium segment for you, if you bought a budget car, you will suffer.

In wet weather, when the body is dirty, you don’t want to touch it at all.

The dealer, of course, has a ready-made solution for installing an electric drive for the trunk lid. But the price of this kit is far from “budget” - for a sedan it’s about 32,500 rubles, plus installation costs 5-10 thousand.

Once I saw in my neighbor’s yard that his trunk opened on its own. And I know him well, he will definitely never spend so much money on such things in his life. His wife will saw him to death.

I became interested, and I came up to ask what was what.

It turns out that he read it on the forums and made this modification a long time ago.

I'm telling you.

You need to spend only 70 rubles by purchasing 2 clutch fork springs from a VAZ-2101 “classic”. The spring number is 21011602155. They are sold at any car market. Next we work with our hands. Last time. Down with manual opening!

1. We remove the covers from the standard West springs in the trunk.
2. We insert a regular cord into the lower ear of the purchased springs.
3. We push each small spring into the factory one. We hook the upper ear to 14 - 15 turns of the West spring. You will need pliers here.
4. We hook the ears of the clutch springs to the coils of the large springs.

Almost done. The trunk now opens on its own. It might even “shoot”. The main thing here is not to overdo it. Otherwise you will be left without glass or you will bend the lid.

You need to adjust it for yourself. It's very simple, move the main spring into special slots in the mounting bracket. The neighbor put the left one in the second groove (if you count from the lanterns), the right one in the third.

If both springs are set to position 3, the lid actually “shoots” when opened. If both springs are placed in the second position, the lid opens halfway. And it's the perfect balance.

This is an example, but you need to experiment. How else?! It’s only beautiful on paper or in your head. Practice is a delicate thing. A savvy car enthusiast will always find a way to modify a domestic car.

And here is the final result. Vesta has become one step closer to the premium segment. AvtoVAZ, take it into service!

Connection

It is best to connect the installed button on the trunk lid of the Lada Vesta to a parallel button, which is located in the sedan interior.

The connection is made to a standard key

In this case, 2 wires are connected to 2 wires (yellow and black), which go to the factory button from the fuse box. Moreover, there is no need to solder - just buy terminals.

Installing a button on the trunk lid of the Lada Vesta will significantly increase the comfort of using the luggage compartment.

The result of the work is shown in the video.

• User's Guide and Installation Instructions

Connection

The easiest way to connect the button on the trunk lid is parallel to the button located in the cabin. We connect the two stretched wires to the black and yellow wires that go from the fuse box to the standard button. In order not to disturb the electrical wiring of the car, you can use quick connection terminals (without soldering).

After this modification, you can open the trunk on Vesta without a key, simply by pressing a button (provided that the car is open).

By the way, instead of a button you can use a sensor (more details):

If there is no trunk release button in the cabin, but there is one on the trunk lid

. We install a button in the interior instead of a plug. We pull the wire from the button to the TsBKE unit (aka BCM), connect it to the contact of connector S2 and the ground of the car. Only the trunk lid can prevent it from opening under its own weight.

ABS system malfunctions

The automatic brake locking device is very reliable and failure occurs rarely. The main causes of ABS malfunction:

1. Wiring breaks, control unit failure. Oxidation of contacts.
2. Failure of wheel speed sensors.
3. Differences in tire size and tread pattern. Uneven tire pressure. Significant difference in tire wear.
4. Mechanical failure of system parts. Element play, ABS pump failure.

A breakdown of the anti-lock braking system is indicated by an indication on the car’s dashboard. Wheel rotation sensors become unusable due to poor location, water and dirt.

ABS failure is caused by low voltage - less than 10.5 V. The control relay can turn off the electronic unit during braking.

How to install

Installing a camera on a Lada yourself does not require the use of special tools. Self-installation allows you to save significantly on costs. The instructions for carrying out the work are as follows:

• To gain access to the element in question, you must disassemble the rear trunk door. The casing is attached with bolts and clips, so there are no problems with disassembly. If a non-original camera is used, then you have to change the mounting location for the new device.
• The wires are connected in the direction of the lamp wiring. Laying the power cable together will eliminate the possibility of damage.
• In the absence of the required circuit, you can identify the cable responsible for reverse with a multimeter.
• The camera is connected using special chips. Therefore, there are no problems with carrying out the work. If missing or defective, you can purchase them at a specialized store.

Those who installed a new audio system or carried out other similar work have no problems. Over time, corrosion and oxide may develop on the surface and cause display problems.

Installation

A suitable place to install the button on the trunk lid is the recess on the plastic trim (popularly “saber”) between the rear view camera and the license plate light. To remove it you will need to unscrew 4 bolts and unclip 2 clips.

Then we cut out holes in the saber for attaching the button, and finish it with a file. To prevent moisture from entering, we treat the seating part of the button with sealant, and solder the wires and protect them with heat shrink.

After this, we lay the wires through the corrugation with wires, which runs along the left loop of the trunk. Then we hide them under the trunk trim, which is held on by clips (to unclip them, you must first lift the latch). In the cabin, we lay the wires under the left threshold trim (it is not necessary to remove it) and lead them to the mounting block.

Modification of the trunk and external trunk opening button for VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

Modification of the trunk of VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

After changing the trunk lid, it became too heavy and began to open poorly. There are many solutions to this problem, but a friend suggested the easiest and fastest way. It is necessary to tighten several turns of the spring with nylon ties. I pulled five turns on each. After this procedure, the trunk bounces like a young one.

The ties are not particularly noticeable; the spring is covered with a boot and looks neat. Certainly. It would be better to use black zip ties.

Since we're on the subject of the trunk, I'll show you another small life hack. If the trunk lid dangles when closed, and, in my opinion, it cannot help but dangle, you should wrap a little electrical tape around the lock bracket. The play disappears completely, the trunk will close more quietly.

If the electrical tape is of high quality, it lasts for a long time; I reapply it about once every six months.

External trunk opening button VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112

Installed an external trunk release button. Recently I had to remove the rear reflector and glue the reflector to the base substrate. At the same time, I installed a trunk lock control button. This need is long overdue after the seven-year operation of the 111 station wagon. The button is placed in the middle of the metal grab handle - it doesn’t interfere with your fingers, and it’s convenient to press.

Button in reflector

The button is a little exotic - a VK-2 piezo button (zaotexkom.ru/production/piezo/), it was possible to embed an ordinary (waterproof) one into the plastic bulkhead, but since the button had been waiting for its place and hour for a long time, it was installed. It has one remarkable property - the pulse duration is limited to 1 s when pressed and held for a long time. The wires were brought out through the rubber seal of the license plate illumination harness. Then through the left rubber corrugation of the trunk lid into the interior and along the pillar to the left rear lights. It was immediately decided that the wire from the button would go to the alarm module, i.e. to the console area. All the switching and blocking is there. Connection and blocking.

1. The power relay for opening the trunk lock is controlled by the negative alarm and nothing prevents it from being fully activated.
2. Blocking is perhaps the most important and responsible part of this idea. After some thought, I settled on the option of two-level blocking. The button is active if TWO
conditions are met - the car is disarmed
AND
the driver's door is unlocked.
In my opinion, this is enough, the functionality and ease of use of the button is not compromised. The criterion is this: if there is access to the salon, the button is active.
3. Implementation - just
ONE
additional low-current miniature (12V) relay and diode. All.

The button switches the relay winding to negative, +12 is applied to the winding when disarming. In my case, this is the radio control channel. The control “Minus” is taken from the microswitch (MS) of the driver’s door actuator; a diode is needed to decouple the circuits. If he drives. the door is unlocked (position “Open” MP) when the relay is activated, it passes minus to the winding of the lock power relay. The lock works. Over 10 days of operation, no mutual influences were detected. In principle, they should not have existed, because... I first thought through the circuit, then assembled and installed it.

Installing a trunk release button on a Lada Vesta

1. First of all, open the trunk and remove the trim.

1. Next, you need to remove the “saber” (lip spoiler), which will interfere with our installation. To do this, unscrew the 4 nuts with an “8” key.

1. After this, we mark the location of our button.
2. Using a drill, we make holes in a circle, combining them. Then we remove the unnecessary fragment and process the hole with a rasp and sandpaper.

1. For reliability, the button was filled with hot glue. This will avoid moisture ingress and vibration.

1. Laying wiring takes much more time and effort. I pulled the wires from the standard button located in the cabin. We hide the wire under the sill trim, gradually moving into the luggage compartment, near the corrugations of the standard wires. As a result, we bring out the end of the wire through the rubber band, under the spoiler.

The result is in the photo. The trunk can be opened in three ways: a button in the interior, a button on the trunk lid and a key. The trunk release button only works when the central locking is open, as expected. This option is found on most foreign cars.

How to disable the trunk closing sensor of Lada Vesta SW Cross

In winter, when it’s cold, the door limit switches fail due to poor quality rubber boots. The operation of the devices can be adjusted using a second spring, a thinner boot, or removing the sensor protection completely. The door limit switch is placed in the trunk lock of the Lada Vesta; it controls the lighting and controls the locking device.

Sometimes it is necessary to disable the trunk closing sensor of the Lada Vesta when the cold season sets in, the alarm system malfunctions, or the car doors are not locked. To disconnect the power supply to the limit switch, you need to disassemble the cover trim and disconnect the harness that leads to the lock.

Where can I buy?

First, you need to buy a button for the trunk lid of the Lada Vesta. According to the experience of the owners, the optimal solution would be a key made by General Motors or OPEL.

Button from GM

By the way, the easiest way to purchase a device is through the Internet, since a regular auto store may not have the required product. The most popular sites are presented in the table.

In addition to the button, you will also need wires

In addition, more wiring will be required.

Solution

In this case, you can simply install an additional spring in the trunk of the Lada Vesta. This option is the simplest and cheapest. It was demonstrated by one of the Drive participants, Sergei Akulov, known in the community as Seliter, using his Lada Vesta as an example. This method involves purchasing and installing an additional spring.

The spring from the VAZ-2101 is perfect.

According to the author, he bought a spring from the handbrake of a VAZ 2101 (“Kopeyki”), which can be found in any car store. Then all that remains is to install it. To do this, remove the standard spring, insert the purchased one directly into it, which clings to both edges of the standard spring. This allows you to strengthen the factory one.

In the end, all that remains is to adjust the spring. For example, Seliter set it to 3 clicks, thanks to which the Vesta trunk lid opens completely. However, you can set it so that it opens only 50%. This is a matter of taste.

Video in which the spring opens the trunk completely

In addition, he noted that one additional spring quickly stretches and after a week stops opening the lid completely, which forces him to install a second one on the other side.

And in this story the lid opens only halfway

Of course, this method cannot be called a full-fledged solution to the issue, but as a temporary measure it is more than suitable.

Installation

Through trial and error, sedan owners have found that the optimal place to install the button on the trunk lid of the Lada Vesta is the recess on the plastic trim, which is located between the license plate lights and the rear view camera. It is not difficult to dismantle the “saber” - you just need to unscrew 4 screws and unclip 2 pistons.

When the element is removed, you need to cut a hole in it for the button, and additionally go through its edges with a file. Next, you will need a sealant - it is applied to the seating area to prevent moisture from penetrating into the mechanism. As for the wires, they are soldered, and at the end heat shrink is put on them.

It is best to lay the wiring itself in a standard corrugation with wires - the corrugation is attached to the left hinge of the lid and goes under the plastic upholstery of the trunk lid. This upholstery is secured with pistons.

As for the interior, it is best to lay the wires under the plastic sill trim, especially since there is no need to remove it - just bend the edge.

Why does the Vesta trunk not open with the key fob?

The remote controlled system is quite complex and may fail to function. The main reasons why the trunk of a Lada Vesta cannot be opened using the key fob:

• The electric drive fuse has blown;
• the lock is loose or clogged;
• The batteries in the control panel are low;
• the supply wire is broken or broken;
• The control unit is broken.

You can try to unlock the door with the remote control by holding the button for 3 seconds. If this action does not help, then the lock is adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

It must be remembered that the opening of the Lada Vesta trunk is blocked if the engine is running.

How does the Lada's electric trunk operate?

For comfort, cars like Lada Vesta SW station wagon have additional options. The electric door drive provides the driver with the possibility of comfortable remote control. Methods for turning on the mechanism:

• button on the trunk lid;
• remote;
• switch button at the driver's seat.

Trunk of Lada Vesta. Photo source: https://www.drive2.ru/l/507337755873772324/

The system is safe to use; there is automatic protection against being pinched by the tailgate.

The device consists of several parts:

• two electric drive devices on brackets;
• CAN soft closing module;
• device wires on ties, with connection connector;
• Control block;
• sound and optical alarm.

The opening height of the lid is adjustable. The system is convenient for contactless control when your hands are busy or you need to open it without leaving the car. The door lock drive of the Lada Vesta has a function for storing the height of the position.

Cuvette test Lada Vesta with and without ESP

The winter road promises many hidden dangers. Often the right side of the roadside looks like a snow-covered, flat surface. However, a very large number of motorists who, for one reason or another, have to drive onto it, annoyedly (and, alas, belatedly) end up in a real ditch, covered with a seemingly horizontal layer of snow.

Our new test of the Lada Vesta is designed to find out what advantages the ESP system provides, specifically designed to control the distribution of vehicle forces in difficult situations. For greater clarity, we decided to drive into a ditch and try to get out of it, first without the exchange rate stabilization system, and then using it.

Let's say right away that the car had to work hard. Almost in a dangling state, its two wheels balanced on the edges of the ditch - in this case, as a rule, it is almost impossible to do without outside help. But we dare to assure you that the factory electronics did not let us down. The on-board “brains” accurately dosed the injection of gasoline, allowing not only to let the car stand up straight, but also to climb onto the opposite side of the ditch, returning to the roadway.

Let us remind you that we performed all the above maneuvers with the ESP system engaged.

Next we disabled ESP. In this case, no attempts or tricks to move the car from an awkward position were successful. The wheels of the front axle only bit into the snow and ice harder and harder. In such a situation, leaving the ditch is possible only with great luck or with outside help.

Substitute devices

The main reason for battery failure is its discharge.

When the Lada Vesta battery runs out, the owner will face another problem - he will not be able to open the door, since it is opened with a key remotely.

For such a case, a keyhole is provided in the driver's door handle body, hidden by a special plug. Once inside the Lada Vesta, you can open the hood and gain access to the faulty unit.

The rear view camera for the new Lada can be produced by other manufacturers, the main thing is to choose the most suitable device. When choosing, the following points are taken into account:

• The recommended viewing radius should be at least 170 degrees. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the display will not show objects that could cause a collision. A similar parameter is indicated by the manufacturer in the operating instructions.
• Minimum light level to obtain a high-quality image. Reversing at night occurs when the environment is insufficiently illuminated, and a flashlight does not help much to solve the problem. Only high-quality models provide good picture quality in the dark.
• The most important parameter is the resolution of the video camera. It determines how high quality the resulting image will be. Due to the small size of the device, it is almost impossible to provide high resolution.
• Availability of backlight. It can significantly improve the quality of the resulting image when shooting at night or in fog. However, such a device cannot be installed correctly in all cases.
• The temperature amplitude determines whether it is possible to use the camera in certain conditions. The recommended range is -40 to 70 degrees Celsius.
• Degree of resistance to moisture or dust. When making the case, plastic is often used, which does not react to environmental influences. A high degree of protection eliminates the possibility of oxide and corrosion, which can cause the device to fail.

Installed an electric trunk drive on a Lada Vesta sedan or how to get closer to premium features

If you need a good car with a manual transmission, so that it costs less than its competitors at the entrance, Vesta is an excellent car with pleasant suspension, handling and a spacious interior. However, tuning is in the DNA of the Lada, which means you can unwittingly start investing so much money in this car that, when you put everything together, it turns out that you could have taken at least an Octavia, or even a Camry. Recently a man arrived in a Vesta sedan with an interesting set of modifications for this car, as is already clear from the title - a set of electric trunk drive.

This kit for a station wagon is one thing, but we did something similar on our own for the SW Cross, using electric drives from some disassembled foreign car as a basis. The man immediately decided to bring his sedan closer, probably to the Mercedes S class, but looking ahead, I want to say, it turned out great.

As I also like to call our cars - “Business on wheels”, if your hands grow from the right place, do cool what you screwed up at the factory and among the thousands of VAZ owners, there will be hundreds who will buy your solution. In this case, they brought us a kit that contained everything - brackets, wiring, instructions. The set includes one electric drive, a lock loop with a closer (the cover smoothly fits onto the lock, using an electric drive, and only then reaches out so that the lock is completely latched)

The installation is extremely simple, first the spring on the left side of the trunk is removed, two brackets are attached to the standard holes, the electric drive itself is attached to them, then you need to replace the hinge and secure its motor. After which all that remains is connection, perhaps the most crucial moment. The set includes an internal button and a control unit. The longest part is pulling the power wire from the fuse box in the cabin, but otherwise everything is simple. But there are nuances, for example, the internal trunk closing button is located on the inside of the trim, and the system also has an unpleasant beeper, which we decided to replace with another one with a more pleasant tone.

Our Vesta did not have a button for opening the trunk from the cabin, but the control unit supports connecting several buttons at once - in the cabin, in the lid outside and inside, and the command from the standard alarm key fob will also work.

Of course, these are not springs for 70 rubles, but a full-fledged system, very high quality, it should be noted, but the price of 30 thousand is still too high, what do you think? But there is so much functionality, the trunk can be opened with your foot, closed with a button in the cabin, and generally surprise one and all, I think few people expect such a function on the Lada Vesta. The same kit is also available for station wagon bodies, where in my opinion it will be much more useful, as it allows you to adjust the height of the lid opening.

DIY button installation

Preparatory stage:

• screwdriver;
• rags;
• mechanical (sensory) mechanism for support;
• insulation;
• wire, length 7
• terminals for connecting wires.

Regulations:

1. We turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood.
3. We reset the power terminals from the battery.
4. Remove the plastic trim on the left side of the central channel. We remove the block with wires from the cigarette lighter board.
5. We dismantle the rubber and plastic trim at the threshold of the driver and rear passenger.
6. We lay the wire from the cigarette lighter into the trunk.
7. We reinstall the decorative door sill trims.
8. In the luggage compartment, remove the sound insulation and plastic from the lid.
9. We fix the touch panel on the inside of the cover. If you are installing a mechanical one, then it is installed from the outside in the recess. Drill an additional hole.
10. We connect the wires according to polarity: red - plus, black - minus, green - plus to the “unlock” in the cabin.
11. We carefully insulate the wire connections.
12. We put on the power terminals of the battery.
13. We check the operation of the unlocking mechanism.
14. We install plastic and decorative trims again.

To simplify installation, it is not necessary to be powered from the cigarette lighter. You can supply voltage directly from the battery. In this case, the sensor (mechanics) will work continuously until the car is set to the standard alarm system.
