What You Get

Activate one-touch closing of the electric tailgate on your Audi A5 F5 Sportback. After this activation, a single press of the key fob (or the interior dashboard switch) closes the tailgate fully, even when you're already walking away from the car. Performed entirely through the RetroLab Pro app — no remote desktop sessions, no manual coding.

How It Changes Behavior

From factorythe A5 Sportback tailgate only starts closing while you press and hold the key fob button, and only while you're within close range of the vehicle.

After activationa single tap on the key fob or the interior tailgate switch sends a complete close command, even after you've already walked off.

  • Single-tap tailgate close from the A5 Sportback key fob
  • Works from full remote range — no need to stand next to the car
  • Same one-touch behaviour on the interior tailgate switch
  • Operates with ignition on, off, or fully locked
  • Open-on-long-press behaviour unchanged
