When I got my car the lock had been broken and tweaked so I welded in the hole and used an electric opener off a buick from the local junk yard. I went to the bike shop and bought a brake cable for a couple of bucks and routed it up next to the top of the back seat. Easy to get to and you really can't see it the only thing exposed is the small ball portion of the cable that normally fits into the hand lever of the bike brake.
