Closing rear hatch/trunk with key fob or button in car

Sharpie12 · 11-05-2010, 09:05 AM

Is this possible?

Edit: Apparently it is and I'm a dummy

audioquest · 11-05-2010, 09:29 AM

Yes you can. Just hold on to the button it will close.

Sharpie12 · 11-05-2010, 09:33 AM

if that is the case then that is utterly dumb of me. thank you. i'm relieved now at least.

im pretty sure u cant close the hatch except with the button on the hatch. Good ole American lawyers helped make it that way. All the other countries can close from the inside and from the fob. Someone correct me if im wrong

I don't remember trying to hold down the button on the key fob, maybe I have. I just wish it could close without having to press the button manually on the hatch

Yes, but disabled for U.S. market.

Yes, ours can close with Fob.

Yes I can confirm mine (UK Model) will close using the keyfob button but you need to hold the button for some strange reason. If you let go closing will stop. I find this unnesessary as lid will stop if it encounters and obstacle or obstruction. If this the same in other countries ?

we have to hold the Fob button down until closed
