BruinMan wroteI've been tempted to code this but I don't like the idea that both upper and lower doors might just smash into each other. That would be a costly repair. I also read where coding it to close softly places a tremendous strain on the upper door motors in the struts.Well after my excitement to code in Expert mode and solve the loud slam/bang of the tailgate. I never tried the lower gate; well the lower doesn’t work after the coding. G05 owners, don’t use the lower code. The upper code works great.
I undid the lower gate code and it works like normal. Top gate closes softly and the lower gate is quick. Being the lower gate needs to go first, I think I will be okay. Do this at your own risk.
Skip this part:
3072 APPL_LTG_SPEED_PROFILE, 69(Lower tailgate)
Code:
ProfileCloseStartNode1Pwm Werte=00, 25
ProfileCloseStopNode1Pwm Werte=00, BB
ProfileCloseStopNode1Pos Werte=00, 96
ProfileCloseStartNode2Pos Werte=00, 96
If someone figures this out, please revise.

Having some problems how to use the custom values in Bimmer Code.
ProfileCloseStartNode1PwmPlg Werte=00, 3E
So in custom value the first line is Byte 0 0x00
The second line is Byte1 is that the box to be changed to 3E?
CoupeLyfe803 wroteI decided to add my recommendations to this thread even though I have an X7 (not an X5), as initially I found useful information here!Lower and upper tailgate slam. I'm going to play with the bump stops this evening to see if that "softens" the close before I make any coding changes, but currently I have a loud thud as if someone slammed a passenger door.
ray072 wroteSee my post... I had the same problem, but with my new values it is ok since about 2 months.A quick bump of this chat. I coded this softclosing on my g05 with the change on the closing of the upper tailgate for the ones with the anti noise mods. But even with this “harder” closing change. It still does not close from time to time… anybody else has the same problem?
SimR wroteI will try in a few and report back!See my post... I had the same problem, but with my new values it is ok since about 2 months.
SimR and worked like a charm.ray072 wroteThat's great!Tried the suggestion of
The lower tailgate has a really nice soft close now aswell.
Need to try this set up for a few days because before the issue with the not fully closing happend randomly and then suddenly work again.
Thanks for the tip!
SimR and it's definitely an improvement!
SimR wroteQuick update…That's great!
Also I've had the same problem before. I thought I noticed that it happened after I had forced the trunk to close. For example, when I went on vacation with my family, the trunk was too full and I forced it closed. Then it wouldn't close completely. But the problem didn't last... Only once or twice! See for yourself if this helps you too...
ray072 wroteNever mind the button at the driversdoor doesnt work anymore. I need to help it close now.Quick update…
It seems that this isnt really the solution for me in this case.
Today the top tailgate wouldnt close, so i tried to isulate the issue. I found out the following:
When i open the tailgate with the handle or with the keyfob (only the top part opens. Then i manually open the bottom part.
When i want to close the tailgate. I push to button on the top tailgate and then it wouldnt close. (It did yesterday at the time i coded) also when i first close the bottom and then the top it wouldnt close.
But now the strange part. After this encounter i opend my driverdoor and closed the tailgate with the button in the door and it closes perfectly???
To test i closed the car want back 5 min later tried to do it al over and the same result.
Now the question… why does it close with the button on the door but not the button on the tailgate?

SimR wroteI will check tonight if there is a better value for my car.I hope this is the solution to your problem. Here are three points to check :
1) Be sure to code the behavior of the various trunk open/close buttons like this:
HKL_LIFTGATEBUTTONOUTSIDE_BUTTON_TYPE -> “03”
HKL_LIFTGATEBUTTONCONTINUEOPENING_BUTTON_TYPE -> “00”
HKL_LIFTGATEBUTTONLOCK_BUTTON_TYPE -> “01”
HKL_ROCKERSWITCHPOS1_BUTTON_TYPE -> “05”
HKL_ROCKERSWITCHPOS2_BUTTON_TYPE -> “01”
HKL_REMOTECONTROLCOMFORTFUNCTION_BUTTON_TYPE -> “00”
HKL_REMOTECONTROLLIFTGATEBUTTON_BUTTON_TYPE -> “05”
HKL_SMARTOPENER_BUTTON_TYPE -> “03”
HKL_LOWERLIFTGATEBUTTON_TYPE -> “08”
2) Make sure your battery is fully charged. In my case, after a few weeks of testing different codes, I was surprised to find that my battery was only 25% charged! It took me over 24 hours to recharge it to 100% with a 3.5 amp charger! Perhaps a good test of your own would be to test the opening/closing of your trunk with the vehicle running?
3) If you don't have the “Soft-Close” option in your vehicle, and/or if the previous items haven't corrected the problem, below are some other values to test on your side. In fact, the values I've suggested correspond to a reduction of around 80-85% in the initial closing force. In my case, it works very well... But here are other values, in descending order, which you can test on your vehicle to find the one that works best.
ProfileCloseStopNode1PwmPlg (top door) :
Werte (02,8A) = Default values
Werte (01,45) = 50% of initial closing force
Werte (01,04) = 40% of initial closing force
Werte (00,C3) = 30% of initial closing force
Werte [...]
ray072 wroteThere are three simple steps to checking and charging the battery:I will check tonight if there is a better value for my car.
With the car running it indeed closes like normal. Where can i check the battery like you talked about?
The car has soft closing installed so that wouldnt be a problem.
ray072 wroteI simply plugged in my battery charger to charge the battery, and saw that it was only at 25% charge when I started the process. Most battery chargers display the battery charge in real time. I used this model of charger bought on Amazon, which is compatible with several types of battery:I can have a x5 45e its on the side in the boot. I can get to it fairly easy. But how did you knew it was only 25%?

SimR wroteSo far so good. No more issues what so ever.
ray072 wroteSo far so good. No more issues what so ever.
I think the tailgate of the X7 is maybe slightly different the X5 in its workings.
This 25% mod did the trick.
