Yinlowa Trunk Release Switch for Hyundai Veloster 2012-2017 (81260-2V010) — Direct-Fit Plug-and-Play

The Yinlowa Trunk Button 81260-2V010 is a direct-replacement exterior hatch release switch designed to restore trunk access on 2012–2017 Hyundai Veloster models with the factory rearview-camera hatch configuration.

If the rear hatch on your Veloster is cracked, sticky, intermittently responsive or completely unresponsive when pressing the exterior trunk pad, this replacement part reproduces the factory form, fit and function for models specified below. It replaces OE number 81260-2V010 (also listed as 812602V010) and is engineered to plug into the original harness and mount in the original tailgate garnish without cutting or splicing. Verify your original connector and camera configuration before ordering; 81260-2V000 is a different, incompatible configuration.

How does this part restore my Veloster's trunk access?

The Yinlowa switch transmits the same release signal that the factory button sends to the rear latch assembly when installed in the hatch garnish. If the original exterior release pad has failed due to impact, heat damage, or wear, replacing it with this unit returns the external opening function while keeping the vehicle's existing latch and actuator in place.

• Replaces cracked, sticky, melted, or intermittent exterior trunk buttons.
• Sends the release signal to the existing rear latch system—no change to the actuator required.
• Direct-fit design uses the original mounting points and plug layout.
• Verify wiring, fuse and latch if the hatch still will not open after installation.

Which Veloster models and years will this switch fit?

This part is made for 2012–2017 Hyundai Veloster Base and Turbo models that have a 1.6L gas engine and the factory rearview-camera hatch configuration. It is important to compare the connector shape, camera location and housing outline to your original part because visually similar part numbers can differ internally.

• Compatible: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 Hyundai Veloster (1.6L gas, factory rearview-camera hatch).
• OE reference numbers: replaces 81260-2V010 and 812602V010.
• Not compatible with 81260-2V000 configuration—do not order by appearance alone.
• VIN verification recommended to confirm fitment before purchase.

What should I check before and during installation?

Before installing, compare the connector, housing shape and mounting points to your original switch and inspect the rear camera placement if equipped. The Yinlowa unit is designed for plug-and-play replacement but transferring any camera components or original hardware may be required; professional installation is recommended if you’re unsure.

• Compare original connector, mounting points and housing shape to the new part.
• Reuse original hardware and transfer camera components when needed by configuration.
• Inspect fuse, wiring, actuator and latch alignment if problems persist after replacement.
• Professional installation suggested for correct alignment and electrical integrity.
