Rear hatch auto close issue
I have comfort access and kick to open. Yesterday I kick opened the rear hatch while car was locked and started loading groceries. As I was loading, the hatch started closing down on me and hit my head
Anyone else have this issue? Even though car was locked, I had the key and it did open with the kick. Fortunately I was able to stop the closing with my hands but it was mildly embarrassing My wife got a chuckle |

Normally there's a 1sec pause before it opens even when the sensor registers so maybe that's it?

I thought you could close it with the fob.

I think you can if you hold the trunk button for like 10s but I'll have to verify

What software version do you have? I swear my X3 did this. I'll try my X5 on 0.53

I had to have my F10 coded to allow me to close the trunk with the fob. Just contacted ************* to find out what they can code on a G05. Waiting for a response.

************* says they can code the hatch closing and the start/ stop default.

Where is the sensor for kick to close? I installed a hitch and didn't notice anything and now it's not working. Although in all fairness I don't know if it ever worked. 2019 w Comfort Access.

Can anyone explain why the vehicles with factory hitches do not have the kick to open? Plenty of other manufacturers have both. It's weird, and I do a kick out of habit every now and then...I must look like a real winner from others' perspectives when it inevitably fails.

Apparently the stock hitch blocks the sensor. Yes, they should have thought of that at design time. Some after market hitches for G05 do not block the sensor. And by the way, all of this kick to open drama is about the NA version of the stock hitch setup as the EU/AU stock hitch version is completely (completely!) different and kick to open still works.
