Comfort access trunk

Fury Road · 05-11-2016, 01:00 PM

I cannot seem to get this to work with my foot. Anyone else have trouble with this?

CDubInDC · 05-11-2016, 01:02 PM

Mine was hit or miss which basically made it useless. Now with the CF diffuser I don't even try anymore.

Yeah mine is not working doing that. Maybe there is a problem with the sensor.

Do you have a carbon fiber diffuser?

I had a problem with my 335i until I found the right pace. A swift kick with no pause under the center of the bumper works best. Don't pause or dangle your foot underneath, slow deliberate movement doesn't work. Good Luck!

I think there has to be problem with it. There is no way I couldn't get it open once with like 30 kicks.

Flupke · 05-11-2016, 03:44 PM

I seem to be getting better at it with time. I can now open it within one or two kicks.

Does anybody have a pic of what their sensors look like underneath?

Try waving your foot underneath and then taking a step back away from the bumper. That "method" works for me 100% of the time. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the sensor is making sure you're clear of the trunk before it opens. I know it sounds stupid, but seem to be true.

For those having intermittent success, try standing a foot away then swiping your foot below rear bumper. If you stand to close the trunk lid won't open as it senses you hovering overhead. Thus won't hit you upon release. Plus the tail lights flash beforehand, so look for that as well.

^^ exactly. It was explained to me at the Welt when I picked the car up. You need to follow this procedure in order for it to work perfectly. I never have an issue getting it to open.

1. Step up to the rear bumper about 2 feet away.

2. Kick under the bumper a good distance. Do this swiftly but you don't have to Bruce Lee it.

3. Then STEP BACK! The car is looking for you to stand clear of the trunk as it opens so it doesn't clock you as the lid comes up.
