Default VCDS / VAGCOM Coding to Close Power Liftgate with Remote?

Hi guys,

Has anyone found coding for the rear hatching through VCDS (vagcom) to get the rear liftgate (tailgate, hatch - whatever you want to call it!) to close by pressing the button on the remote?

I realize Audi has done this from a safety perspective, but I would love the option to do so, taking my life into my own hands.

You can't. You'll need an aftermarket modular.

Want to buy a used Kufatec module, Jared?

OK alternate solution here! Its an experiment that needs to be tested and confirmed!
flash to ground a wire connected to the green and yellow wire going to the left side motor. This should cause the tailgate to close.
All you need to do is run a wire to the front and install a simple push button to close.
Wasnt my idea! Came from Australia!
