How to Enable One-Touch Trunk Closing on Audi A8 D5

Your Audi A8 D5 has a powered trunk — but from the factory, it only closes while the key fob button is held down. Activate true one-touch closing and close the flagship trunk with a single tap from any sensible remote distance.

Activation Price: €65One-time • Permanent • VIN-verified

What Gets Activated?

After activation, both the key fob trunk button and the interior dashboard switch will close the A8 trunk from a single brief press. You no longer have to hold the button or stand next to the sedan.

  • One-press close on the key fob — Works at full key fob remote range
  • One-press close on the interior dashboard switch
  • Works with engine running, off, or vehicle locked
  • Open behaviour preserved — long-press still opens the trunk as before
