Built-in ActivationAudi A8 D5 — Powered Trunk One-Touch Activation
Close your A8 powered trunk with one click of the key fob — no holding, no proximity needed.
What You Get
Activate true one-touch closing on your Audi A8 D5 powered trunk. After activation, the key fob and the interior dashboard switch both respond to a single tap, closing the trunk without needing you to hold the button down or stand next to the sedan. Activation is fully OEM-style and runs through the RetroLab Pro app.
How It Changes Behavior
From factorythe A8 trunk only closes while the key fob button is held down, and the flagship must be within close range during the entire press.
After activationone quick press on the key fob (or on the dashboard trunk switch) sends the full close command, and the trunk closes on its own from any sensible remote distance.
