I Have a one year old 2022 Enron Chronos that has the tailgate open randomly while vehicle is parked. Anyone else experience this?

Key fob in pocket?

The key fob opening the trunk can be disabled. I've done so, and the random opening problem went away.

Yes, in pocket. Strange that fob requires a double click and it happens. I will do what you suggest. Thanks.

I had this happen only once with my 2022 (have had the car for 5 mos now). I believe it was triggered by a few leaves under the car near the area the foot swiping is supposed to be although I can't remember if I had the fob on me, but with 2 presses required on it, I don't think it was from that.

I had to put a little case on my FOB to stop accidental presses while in my pocket. It's really poorly designed in that regard.

Yes, twice and the second time I had a case on the key to keep it from happening and it still happens. Oddly it only happens at one grocery store out of the three I have to go to.

Numerous times. Different conditions each time. I’ll have to look into disabling the key fob operation on the trunk. I didn’t know I could do that.

To disable the remote from opening the trunk requires an ODB2 tool, such as ODBEleven. From the ODBEleven discussion group:


DISABLE REAR LID OPENING WITH REMOTE KEY
- Disable opening of rear lid when double clicking the middle button on the remote key
- Alternatively set the value to "0.40 s" to keep the function, but only with rapid double click.

Just had this happen a few days ago while walking up to my car, key in coat pocket, car in garage, thankfully no damage to vehicle or garage door, glad to know I am not the only one this happens to. Wondering now if it’s safe to leave items in vehicle when not at home?

This has been a problem with many Audi models. When the '19 etron came out there were many complaints about the tailgate opening for no reason. I had it happen to my '19 several times when we owned it and once on the '21 we currently own. I think I sat on the remote when wearing loose fitting shorts a few times. Considering how much pressure it takes to click the remote button twice it's hard to imagine a false trip could be triggered buy having the remote in a pants pocket. Fortunately we were near the car when it happened so we could close the tailgate.
