Built-in ActivationAudi e-tron GE — Single-Tap Tailgate Closing Activation
Tap the e-tron key fob once and the tailgate closes itself — even while you're plugging in or walking away.
What You Get
Activate single-tap closing of the Audi e-tron GE powered tailgate. After this activation, the key fob trunk button and the interior dashboard switch both close the tailgate fully from a single brief press, with no requirement to hold the button or stand directly next to the vehicle. The activation is OEM-style and performed entirely through the RetroLab Pro app.
How It Changes Behavior
From factorythe e-tron tailgate only continues to close while the key fob button is held, and only while you remain within close range — which is awkward when you're already at the charger or walking back inside.
After activationa single tap on the key fob (or on the interior tailgate switch) closes the tailgate fully, freeing your hands for the charging cable, your phone, or whatever you're carrying.
