Built-in ActivationAudi Q8 4M — One-Press Tailgate Closing Activation
One tap on the key fob and your Q8 tailgate closes itself, even while you're walking away.
What You Get
Enable one-press closing of the Q8 4M powered tailgate. After this activation, the key fob trunk button and the interior tailgate switch both accept a single short press to fully close the tailgate — no need to keep your finger on the button or remain within arm's reach of the SUV. The activation is OEM-style and performed through the RetroLab Pro app.
How It Changes Behavior
From factorythe Q8 tailgate only closes while the key fob trunk button is held, and only while you stay close to the vehicle.
After activationa single short press on the key fob — or on the interior switch next to the steering wheel — closes the powered tailgate completely, even from across the parking lot.
