Anyone able to confirm whether this is able to reprogram what’s needed?

Just tried mine and it won’t close remotely no matter where I stand 😂 can’t really think when I would like it to close remotely tbh 🤔

I have a suspicion there is a difference in behaviour between US and EU models. I don’t think the EU models can remotely close (without reprogramming) - most likely a safety law against it.
My old RS6 was FL 2015 UK car with Advance key and hands free boot opening. Mine did remote open with long press open and close. Open from any where but remote close from rear only. Mine was all standard OEM and not reprogrammed.

Me!

I activated remote closing using Carista.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to switch off the annoying lorry reversing beep that it makes when the boot is closing though!

So far I’ve used Carista to:

- stop/start remembers last setting
- reversed stop/start indicator light
- boot closing from key
- global opening slides the sunroof rather than tilts it.

There are lots of other tweaks available but those are all that tickled my fancy.

My car is a MY17 FL

Pretty sure remote boot closure was advertised as a feature of the advanced key option in the UK on the configurator.

I don't think the advanced key ones do this, but mine beeps like a reversing lorry when closing with the key.
