interior open/close boot button

Post by RSVI » Tue Aug 30, 2016 3:39 pm

Anyone done, or able to do?
Run a cable from interior button to boot button on drivers door, that enables the boot to be closed from the driver's seat?

Looking at the button, it looks the same as what's used for the windows (albeit with a single switch, unlike a two way switch window switch).
I'm sure it can't be that hard a job for someone in the game, although a little over my head if I'm being honest.

Thanks in advance

My s8 has close. It's one touch down to open and pull up and hold for close

Cheers, James, I'll give that a go, although the interior switch is only one way (lift/pull up), perhaps it's holding button up for a time to close it?... I'll give it a go, fingers crossed for an easy fix.

Dooblebug, it's regarding my C7, my profile of a C5 is from 10 years ago, need to get round to updating ;-)

James, I've answered in the other thread now but you can use the original door button and remote to both open and close the boot after activating with VCDS. This is a standard feature with the advanced key option I seem to recall.

If i recall you just need to press again as if you're trying to open it again

I remember stumbling on it almost by coincidence
