Default Setting to allow for keyfob to close trunk

Is there an OBD11 setting to enable closing the trunk with the keyfob for when you aren't behind it? Thanks

There are some settings related to distance, but they did nothing when I change them. Still have to be 1 foot away from the back of the vehicle in order to close the hatch with the keyfob.

The whole trunk opening/closing logic is weird. Sometimes it doesn't even open -- it'll just unlock. And then closing the trunk is totally jacked logic. If ignition is not started, the driver-side door switch just beeps at you when holding it down. However, if the ignition is started, the same button works to close the trunk. I wish the driver-side door switch worked just like the button on the trunk hatch. Maybe I can rewire...

I don't think you can rewire. Everything on this car is computer controlled, and a LOT of it makes no sense.

I'm pretty sure this was covered elsewhere but... Listen closely. IT'S NOT THE KICK! IT'S THE STEP BACK!

Give a kick under the bumper. Near the center. It does not matter right center or left of the tow hitch. But as soon as you pull your foot away, STEP BACK! Maybe it's a safety feature so you do not have the trunk knock you over. I do not know. But I do know that if you kick and then STEP BACK it will work 100% of the time.

X2. Slow kick, step back. Works every time for me. Now if I can get my door handle to lock the car more than 20% of the time.

All door handles or just the driver?? I find using the back side of my hand/fingers works every time... if your skin is a bit dry it'll really make a difference.
