Automatic Trunk Opener not working with foot motion

[Dufferman12]

I have a new 4S and cannot get the automatic truck opener to respond to the movement of my foot under the back of the car. It is turned on but rarely works, like only twice,

Do you ”kick” forward in the center on the car and then move a way from the var bakwards

I had the same problem with mine when I picked it up from the Experience Center. That feature seems to be turned off by default from the factory. But is easily enabled:
Go-to Settings -> Vehicle -> Vehicle locking systems -> Tailgate Comfort Access

From the manual, I thought it was a swiping motion (e.g. from left to right), but it is not. It is kicking from the back of the car towards the front - aiming to kick under the car by the “C in “Porsche”.

Position your Kick under the letter "c" of the rear Porsche Logo, then perform the kick. It should do the trick.

It WORKED!!! Under the "C." Should be easier.

This is great info! My wife and I have been randomly kicking around (and often kicking the car) to see when it works. It’s become a bit of a joke since we’re totally surprised each time it actually works...now with the secret key I can’t wait to show off my kicking prowess!
