Well, that is what I am trying to weigh myself, hence the original question.

Good question. I would think there would be a chance that this could be coded. You might PM shawnsheridan. He is the coding guru.

a retrofit is possible. I have a July 2011 F10. I bought the parts (110euro) from germany and so far have tried them electrically but am yet to take off the rear bumper to fit them. The FRM module must have recent (post 2011) software otherwise it won't recognize the signal from the smart opener. Once you connect the smart opener module you update the coding on the FRM and kick to open works like a 2012 model. You must have comfort access in the first place though, you cannot add this to a non-comfort access car.

What’s the part you have to install and where does it plug in? I have a 2011 535i with comfort access but don’t have the kick to open for the trunk and would really like it. Does it require coding?

So, my granddaughter found out she could push the button with her nose and close it. Coding would require that there is a sensor under the car and retrofitting sounds like a lot of wiring.

Works both for locking and unlocking. Swipe left or right to unlock and then again to lock. While locking, it makes a closing beep, which is pretty cool.

You mean opening and closing? If so, the closing feature only works on LCI's. And it's a kick, not a swipe.
