It's on my list to retrofit and the manual I have includes cables I'll need to buy.
So without looking, I'd say no.

I attached the German manual I downloaded some time ago.
Currently, I don't really have much time to help translating it but it gives you a rough overview on how much work it is.

Yeah.. on my 08 lci it's simply that.. the same power button for the trunk (boot) as the one by the heated seat button. Personally I would rather have had only the one on the driver's side leg.. and not the one by the heated seat button, as my passengers have on occasion hit that button and opened the trunk instead.. I honestly wouldn't bother to even retrofit it, since it's really just another button.. I wouldn't imagine it being too hard though.
