    B7 Tailgate/Boot open and close from key

    Hello team
    I have searched the site for many hours and can't find any info.
    I have a B7 130TDI wagon. I want to be able to close the boot with the key or inside cabin switch.

    Am i able to do this with some VCDS coding and if so, where do i locate this.

    Thanks in advance.

    I dont think it's possible. For safety reasons...

        There used to be a module you could buy that allowed you to remote close the tailgate. Some people have also done their own hacks but I'm not sure what they've done.
        It's not a simple coding change though. In the newer MQB boot modules you can upload a parameter set which allows closing from the fob or interior boot button.

          Would be if your 3 year old was half way in the rear when you shut it without looking

            If it was a gentle close, I would want it too...

            ...but woah, I got the mechanism replaced recently (it was starting to struggle, and the last month of the lease) and it closes with quite a big force...

              Seems like quite a significant design faux pas to me - just about every other power tailgate closes quite gently by comparison.
