No it can't, it's saloon/sedan only.

All fobs are the same and will work, the only difference is the spring/damper rates in the strut which give the force required to fully open the lid.

David - I can solve your problem, I had it following fitting SDS. Turns out it's to do with the position your manual key lock on the boot is in i.e. vertical/horizontal. I used the key to open the boot after disconnecting the battery, the only time I needed to. It drove me mad for days until I figured it out! It's a sort of anti-boot theft feature...

I'll try this tomorrow, and if it works, I owe you a pint !

Stella please

It still doesnt work! but in your defence the Audi Assist man thinks its broken, and the auto opening doesnt open all the way any more, not sure if this is due to the cold though

anyway, will book it into the stealer for them to repair
