Motion sensor trunk release
#132
it's disappointing/embarassing to move from the luxury of BMW's power trunk feature to an Audi that has a trunk thatfunctions like a Honda Accord! I'm a real stickler for fingerprints and have to "slam" the trunk using the inside "grab cavity" I seriously desire power window sunshades, adjustable ride height, auto park and a power trunk. I'll take those options over a $6000 B&O system any day of the week!

Sounds like you are really wanting a different car. I think most of us traded our desire for those features for the ride, handling, performance and looks of the Audi even if it did lack somewhat in features as you suggest. I too wish we could get all those features on an A6. Audi's clever (or not so clever?) marketers have reserved those features for more expensive models like the S6, A7, S7, and A8.
If I could have bought an A4 TDI equipped like my A6 or the car you describe, I would have paid the same price or more. But I don't expect Audi to listen to me because I am a 1 in 1000 buyer--just a weirdo with non-conforming preferences.

The key to it all is doing the kick under the license plate then waiting. I had to show the tech at my dealership how to do it. People's natural reaction seems to be once they pull their foot out to expect it to immediately pop open, and when it doesn't they kick again. This screws the sensor up. Just give it 3-5 seconds and 9 out of 10 times it will open.

This sometimes works for us--sometimes not. Recently, when we stop the car and walk toward the back of the car, just as we round the rear corners, the trunk pops open although it knows we are coming back there. It pops before we get anywhere near the license plate or bumper. Has anybody else had this happen?

If you "seriously desire" these opitions, than trade in your vehicle and get one with them. Or add them to your existing vehicle. Or move to Europe.
Fingerprints...I hate a dirty vehicle. Yet I close the boot in such a manner to not leave prints. Adjust your thinking to the situation.

But they can be added to the US Version. Power Trunk kit is avaliable. Power Sun Shades can be added. For a price though.

China gets a long wheelbase A6, that I'd really like to have.
