Hansshow Trunk Kick Sensor Crisis

[cosmith71]

So I'm installing the Hansshow Trunk Kick Sensor. I get to the part where I have to fish the cable through the accordion tube and then through the side of the trunk to come out near the subwoofer.

The plug from the wiring harness came off somewhere between the end of the accordion tube and the opening above the subwoofer. I cut the plug off of the kick sensor thinking I could just splice them together, but there are different numbers of wires. I don't suppose anyone knows what to connect to what, by chance? I've got a message in to Hansshow but no response as yet.

If you google them there is a chat option.
Ask for an exchange and return the one that you have once you receive the replacement

Thanks for the reply. I sent them a message on Whatsapp this morning but no reply yet. I gave up and put the trunk back together.

It may take several days for them to reply.

For posterity, in case anyone runs into this in the future.

Communication was slow due to the time difference, and there was a Chinese holiday in the mix. The answer is white to white, black to black, and yellow on the kick sensor side to the red on the side of the control box.

It works great, but it's unfortunate that the car must be awake to open the trunk with the kick sensor or the trunk release button. I keep sentry mode on except at home so maybe won't be an issue.

@cosmith71, glad you got it sorted out. If your car is awake and carwash mode is on, will the foot sensor open the trunk?

It will. I use a power washer and hand wash my car and I've not had it open while doing so.

Thanks for confirming what I thought. On the EVOffer trunk kit, it reads the canbus signal and completely deactivates the foot sensor in carwash mode so that it can't be inadvertently opened at all.

The Hanshow version isn't nearly as smart. It doesn't connect to the CANBUS at all. It basically looks for the sensor signal and simulates the trunk button being pushed.
