Front Trunk Cable and Housing Replacement, Who's done the "Back up" release: Options

[Root_Werks]

Last week, pulled the Frunk handle and it pulled further than it normally does. Frunk still opened. Upon inspection, the old plastic housing broke close to the latch.

Fast forward a week and now I have the 914Rubber cable and housing installed (very beefy). Also used the opportunity to rekey the lock to match the rest of the 914 thanks to this link:

Question,

Anyone ever install any sort of backup unlatching system? Cable that runs bellow the spare tire well? Or is it just remove the bumper and use the little hole method?

Always thought if the cable failed when it's time to fill the tank...be nice to just reach under and pop the hood rather than dig out the tools and pull the bumper.

And yes, I did forget to remove the Frunk stops before the 914 was painted. But everyone's still allowed to razz me about it anyway.
