Remote Close Tailgate Modules
Hello, I have newly registered as a Vendor who manufactures user installable modules that allow you to close your tailgate from the remote or drivers door mounted buttons.
The module takes the average owner from 20-30 minutes to install with no special tools or knowledge required. If you are not comfortable with the installation procedure, a local stereo shop will install it for a half hour of labor.
The module sell for $115 shipped within the USA and $125 shipped outside the USA. PayPal preferred.

Soldering is obviously a better connection, but beyond the installation capabilities of some...
There are over a hundred modules installed using taps with no issues, and some wanted them to be able to disconnect if needed, but you should feel free to connect in any you prefer.

How about using an inline M/F connector that doesn't require cutting, soldering, splicing, etc. Easy to return to stock for those people leasing a vehicle (not me).
Something similar to this.

Remote Tailgate Close Module
They definitely work on the Q7's. I'm quite sure that the module would also work in the others, but we would need to determine which three wires to connect to. If anybody lives in the Cincinnati area and has a Toureg or Cayenne, I would supply and install one for free to verify the wires, correct lengths, and disassembly required...

Soldering and guillotine taps (ScotchLock) both have failure modes but the key point for either is "A poor worker blames his tools." I've had both hold up in cars 20+ years, when properly sized, made, and secured.
The stereo shops that like to twist'n'tape for everything because it is quick and cheap, are the only ones guaranteed to fail. Usually on a starter interrupt or something equally important in the middle of a downpour at night.
Inline plugs would be nice, but there are thousands of "packcons" out there. First you'd have to match the make, then start assembling short connectors, and done properly that's really going to bump costs if it is done well.
