Arrow Handsfree trunk open retrofit?

Is it possible?

I think, the needed options are:
-Backup camera
-Keyless access
-?

You're probably doing it wrong. I think there are actually 2 sensors. One for entering the sensory field and one for exiting. Both have to hit for the hatch to open. Imagine you're lightly kicking a soccer ball. Have to pull your foot back.

For the longest time we thought something was wrong with ours until I read that somewhere on here I believe. Now I can open it with my foot every time.

You do not need the backup camera. Another point where you can have difficulty (other than kicking wrong) is key location. I had trouble before I realized that having my key in my shirt pocket was my problem. Moving the key to my pants pocket solved my problem.

Honestly haven't run into that issue, but mine is always in my pocket. Seems to work fine for my wife with the key in her purse as well.
