So again - start with your foot off the ground, almost touching the bumper and position it at the center between the muffler tips, sweep it to the right and out while lowering your foot. Keep the foot on the ground for a couple of seconds - trunk should pop open!

This. Exactly.

'16 Prestige here and I don't have the feature at all. Dealer says on '16's is only on the S6's, none of the A6.

As far as I know all the models have it. Mine isn't a S6. Just try it in your garage so you don't look like a fool or an angry person taking anger out on your bumper.

And of course we have no reason to doubt that the dealer folks are always correct in their pronouncements.

I think the car has to be locked, too, for it to work, right?

Not correct, my A6 has it.

As to how it works, 98%+ of the time I can just kick my foot in and out without hurrying and it will work. This is at the center and under the bumper by about 3-4". Car does not have to be locked for this to work but you do have to have the key fob with you.

2016 A6 Prestige here as well. Just tried it and it worked the first time! Wish the sound system was as reliable!

2016 A6, only a premium plus and it works for me. Locked or unlocked, it works. Takes some getting used to but once you get it, it works everytime and like someone else said, it takes a second to work.

I can't figure out hot to get it to work on mine, just been looking silly swinging my foot under the car.
