Default New Vendor with Remote Close Tailgate Modules

Hello, I have newly registered as a Vendor who manufactures user installable modules that allow you to close your tailgate from the remote or drivers door mounted buttons.

The module takes the average owner from 20-30 minutes to install with no special tools or knowledge required. If you are not comfortable with the installation procedure, a local stereo shop will install it for a half hour of labor.

The module sell for $115 shipped within the USA and $125 shipped outside the USA. PayPal preferred.

Default Tailgate Remote Module

You can definitely solder the wires. It's actually better that way. Most people are just experienced or comfortable with that and it's a little more permanent.

Default Remote Tailgate Module.

I don't see any way that the module could negate the warranty. All it does is "push" the button that is on the tailgate when the module senses the tailgate is open and either open button is pushed. It is completely "passive" and does not communicate with the cars internal systems at all.

I have shipped over a hundred to Audi and Range Rover owners over the past year and have had absolutely no issues. (I've even sold a few to the Dealership)

Thanks
Doug

Can you send me the installation instructions for my 2014 Q7 TDi SLine to see if I want to attempt this?
