Hello! This YouTube video will show you how to get it VERY easily 100% of the time....just aim at the sensor itself ? https://youtu.be/yuei8m2pHmg

THANK YOU Pastor. I watched this quick video 2x and then went out in the garage, key fob in pocket and practiced. Worked E V E R Y time!!!

The guy in the video was right. No worrying about specific angles, or imagining the rear end is a square, etc... Just a quick kick under the park distance sensor dot (black plastic one) and I opened and closed the boot lid from both right and left sides like 10x in a row.

I felt like I would break the electric boot or kill my battery, LOL. Thanks again!!!

Finally, the perfect explanation! Works EVERY time now. Aim at the little dot, who knew? Thanks.

Just watched the video myself. Noted the license plate. Is this video by one of our own forum members?? Very modest to not post if so. Thanks

Ok I'm like you guys - mine don't work anything like you see on TV where the lady walks up and the tailgate flies up, in fact mine has never worked!

Anyhow, I don't recall anyone saying if you have to have the FOB in your pocket. Would it work better in your right or left pocket? Does the FOB have to be behind the car to work to prevent UN-authorized openings by a gas station thief.

Yes. Which ever is closer to the sensor. Yes. If you have the fob in your pocket and stand by the driver's door, someone else can not use the kick gesture to open the back.

You guys got it all wrong......

You can't expect the tailgate to simply open with a mere kick or stroke of the foot under the bumper or near the rear corner.....no, no, no, it's not that simple. First, you need to gently talk to your car, tell it how nice it looks, how you appreciate all the nice curves and design. Buy her a few millivolts and then when the moment feels right you gently, in a most suave manner, gesture your foot towards the rear and to the side. I also find the trunk opens up more readily if you're carrying a box of chocolates, a spot of tea or perhaps some English biscuits. :smile2:

I have been doing it wrong. I've been threatening that if it didn't open the hatch real quick I'd be giving it bigger kick in the ....
