Mod to close tailgate with keyfob possible?

[iampivot]

Am wondering if someone knows if it's possible to change any parameters using rosstech to enable the automatic tailgate on a passat wagon to be closed using the keyfob?

I've seen a post on the UK R36owners forum that showed a guy who had done it with great success.

It would be a very cool upgrade to get!

Lemme know if you find out if its possible!

This one? Passat R36 Forum - R36Owners.NET - Passat R36, 3.6 V6 DSG • View topic - A Few Questions from a Noob!

kufatec has insane shipping cost to australia though, so it's an expensive convenience.

kufatec kit or these guys on a german forum have a dongle that hooks up to obd port to enable this. the dongle is shared around and posted to various people and it cannot leave the EU or germany.

it should be accessible with ross tech but i cant get the right security access code to unlock it, I have emailed ross tech and hopefully will have some good news soon.

Do you have any links to any forum post discussing this?

I never bookmarked it, gave up when i found out that they only post this special dongle around europe.

Hi,

There is this Alex guy in Germany... he has documented a retrofit with remote open/close of the tailgate: bronken.de » Modul: elektrische Heckklappe per Funkfernbedienung, Taster in der Fahrertür und Multifunktionslenkrad schließen. Firmware: 0.9R

He built a simple circuit (diagram is there) and wired it into the rear door wiring... he already stated he won't translate it into english, so just use google translate and look at the pictures carefully.

BTW, I think this is the same guy that has the firmware upgrade for the doors that enables door mirror open/close on remote control long hold on open/close... I've thought about asking if they will send the upgrade dongle to Australia and we do a single big meet up/upgrade.. but he already stated they only ship it around inside germany and get way too many emails from overseas so shelved that idea :/

^ I am useless with electronics but there's a guy at work who is a wiz with it, perhaps I can give the above a crack?

Not sure if I missed the boat on this but:

Comfort Hatch Module - VW Passat 3C Variant-40419

This seems reasonable to me <$200.

[Darks RS]

Very reasonable! Might have to invest in this soon.

Well sourced bjp, I bit the bullet and laid down my cash!

Next is the cargo management system and then the recalibration of the rear lights etc. You wouldn't know where/who/how the rear lights can be reprogrammed would you?

What are you trying to program on them? I've changed my configuration in VCDS, is that what you mean?

[b j p]

Yep, check out Jakey's thread on his funky mods, pretty cool stuff. From what I know there are some mods beyond VCDS but Jakey is best to comment on that.
