A single tap on the Q7 key fob closes the powered tailgate, even while you're walking away.

One-time · Permanent VIN-verified Same-day confirmation

What You Get

Enable single-tap remote closing of the powered tailgate on your Audi Q7 4M. After activation, both the key fob and the interior tailgate switch will fully close the tailgate from a quick press, removing the need to hold the button or stand close to the SUV. The activation is run entirely through the RetroLab Pro app and is VIN-verified before payment.

How It Changes Behavior

From factorythe Q7 tailgate requires the key fob button to be held continuously, and only responds while you're within close range of the vehicle.

After activationa single brief press of the key fob — or of the interior tailgate switch — fully closes the tailgate, even after you've walked away to load the next car or close the garage door.

  • Single press closes the Q7 powered tailgate
  • Triggers reliably from full key fob remote range
  • Interior tailgate switch also becomes single-press
  • Works with the engine on, off or with the car locked
  • Long-press still opens the tailgate — opening is untouched
  • 1-Click activation through the RetroLab Pro app
