Boot open/close question
Could any of you UK guys with an F10 and power boot let me know if you can both open and close the boot via fob and/or the button in the car? We can only open here in canada and I'm looking to see if it is at least programmable.
Thanks, Bill

I think it's a safety issue, you need to be close enough to be able to spot if there's something, or someone, in the way....
Although saying that, I did almost whack someone with my boot the other day when I opened it with the button in the cabin just as they walked past the back of my car...

Thanks for your input guys (I know it was difficult to pull yourselves away from Kate and William's wedding to answer the post ). In another thread I was given indications that prolonged holding of the boot button does close the boot - these responses were from someone in the UK and someone in Amsterdam. The reason I was trying to nail down the functionality is that I want to have the feature turned on through coding. Of course you can only "turn on" features through coding that are present in the vehicle to begin with.
Thanks, Bill

Update to my post above... The boot on my car does close when you hold the boot key on the fob down, similiar to the window close with the lock bottom. I guess I was being impatient before. It doesnt close with the button in the cabin though, no matter how long you hold it in.
