Who makes a good remote trunk release for the 914? Any emergency release like the early Boxsters?

I attached a heavy gauge wire down thru a hole in the trunk floor
(with small grommet) accessible behind the muffler.

My previous Boxster had a,complete electronic failure and both frunk and trunk electronic latches were inoperable. The factory is supposed to put a manual wire that is accessed thru the right front turn signal lens and near the left taillight assembly,but they were both missing in mine. It was quite a bitch to get them open. Luckily a few other Boxster owners with similar problems figured a hack which (barely) worked. After fixing the electronic failure, I inserted the missing manual cables. Lesson learned…. Never again.
