Enabling boot closing from keyfob and interior button using VCDS

[andyvee]

Tried this today, and it works on models with the automatic tailgate option.

 

This will enable the automatic boot closing from the interior button and the remote keyfob.

 

Go to Controller 6D - Trunk Electric

16 - Security Access - enter 12345

10 - Adaptations

Change as per the below screenshots

Thats brilliant to know, cheers!

Always moaned about no cabin remote to boot!

[Chan110]

Er...works on a Superb2?

[Gizmo]

Yes it is the same on the Superb Wayne... but only when you have the electric tailgate option fitted.

[andyvee]

Yep - the same module and access code, the adaptations are the same as well. Haven't tried it though on a Superb.

[Gizmo]

I coded my Superb several months ago, but have not since hooked up any other car with the electric tailgate option.

This really is a must have if you have the electric boot.

I have to get this done, a legit purchase of VCDS is looking pretty tempting now.

Compared to what Kufatec were charging for the Superb tailgate closing kit this alone would almost pay for the VCDS interface!

Anyone near the North West I am happy to enable this

Is that the electric one only available for the Combi?

Or the one I got for twinboot with electric closing boot?

I just assume mine electric closing boot was standard.

And the Combi had electric open AND closing boot...

Do you have the button alongside the gearstick/DSG leaver to open the boot? 

 

I think it’s only the estate that has the true electric boot TBH but i am not 100% sure.

No such button anywhere inside cabin, Martin.

 

Only a button for boot release on key fob...

[Gizmo]

So you have to manually close the boot/tailgate then?

Yes :-(

 

And no remote opening inside cabin (unless fumble around with key fob in the ignition)...

Did this for a member recently.  Why it's not enabled from the factory, as its a great mod.

I suspect they're worried about someone getting hit in the head by it as they're passing by i guess.  Even though it would stop i suspect it would still hurt having the edge of the tailgate smack you in the skull!

Wont work for you then.

But the tailgate beeps as it opens and closes anyway so you do at least get a warning

 

(apart from the fact I have turned the warning beeps off!   )

Yup reminded me of when you see Cargo planes or sci-fi films opening the cargo door.

 

Perfect for dropping food cig aand beer parcels to the estate down the road
