comfort access trunk open
Hi all,
I searched, and didn't find a thread , if there is sorry if I may have missed it. I can't seem to get the foot swipe trunk open to work. I've only gotten it to work 2x and failed about 20. Other key fob isn't near by... trunk isn't locked inside of glove compartment either. Do i just have crappy foot technique?

We then got it to work 2x on separate occasions w/ more of a side swipe but never with the toe up/roundel. any one else have trouble doing it at first? not sure if its thing that just gets easier ...just picked up the car last night, and don't want to take it back in. but i swear i've tried tons of foot swipes.

When I first got my car, I could do it 1 out of 20 times. It was embarrassing. Once I figured out that toe needs to be up, I get it 100% of the time.

Anyway, you just have to make sure your kick is not inside the range of the center two sensors. That's what's done it for me. Prior to figuring that out, I failed miserable several times. lol |

i also don't have PDC,...so it must be that i have some crappy ass toe moves. ill try again with more pointy toes. Seeing that the toe has to be pointed up must be just a small pretty sensitive sensor ... toeing up shortens the distance and must trigger it. more practice for me i guess.

it's technique...it's so odd, but once you get the hang of it, and get over how funny you look in the parking lot fake kicking your car (and people walking by wondering if you have some weird form of turrets), you'll love it.

+1 It is fun to walk up with both hands full and pop that baby open like that.

im batting about .00002 ...
going to practice tonight again. fwiw, as a starting pt before you start practicing make sure your trunk is unlocked (glove cmpartment) and the other fob is far far away.
