Yes. Middle button on the key unlocks the tailgate. On the saloon the boot opens, but not on the hatchbacks.
With the saloon it's great fun surprising people in the supermarket car park - opening the boot when someone's just walking by !!
......pleased I'm also not the only one that likes playing this game!!
Some of the Q models have electric (powered) tailgates which I assume are heavier.I think the hatch door would be too heavy, and it would be a bit dangerous.
FL A6 and new A4's have power boot options also. All 2016 cars with power boot can be configured to both open and close from the remote fob and internal button via VCDS. Shame Audi have not given this as an option to the A3. There are adaptation channels which would facilitate the retrofitting of a virtual pedal tho, so you can wave your foot under the rear bumper and have the boot pop openSome of the Q models have electric (powered) tailgates which I assume are heavier.
I think this is what @Mark_86 is maybe referring to?

Yep, exactly this. Shame it's not an option as mentioned... just me being lazy I guess lol
I've sussed you out now lol
You want to hear the pops and bangs (other thread) by putting the seats down AND opening the hatch electronically
Did that in the ST once to carry something and was quite shocked at how serious the marks were! Was nearly a tear / pinhole. Seems bad design.Ah dammit. I was doing so well...
TBH, putting the seats down is genius... I do this often in the ST and my mpg falls through the floor haha. Shame it damages the leather and leaves little dents
Just had one of these fitted!
Amazing like oem

I done this recently while walking back to my car at my local Asda. There was a couple in front of me about to walk past my car so I pressed the button on my remote, but when the boot lid sprung up the guy was so close to the back of my car that it actually hit him on the arm! He got quite a fright then we all laughed.With the saloon it's great fun surprising people in the supermarket car park - opening the boot when someone's just walking by !!
Recessed / Inside Handle or reaching up and pushing closed via number plate for me.I done this recently while walking back to my car at my local Asda.

It never occurred to me that would happen, but clearly he was walking far too close to the back of my car. I decided never to do that again if anybody is close to my car.
While on this subject I am wondering what technique people use to close the bootlid on a saloon model? I hook my fingers into the recess and pull it down with just the right amount of force that it locks shut without slamming(similar to shutting a door), but often I don't give it enough force and it springs back up again....sometimes more than once.

was it difficult to fit? Any coding?
No-one's said the obvious?
I thought automatic tailgating was standard for Audi
I'll fetch my coat.
On the bigger Audi’s it’s full electric open and close. On smaller Audi’s it’s just open by way of a spring. In the hatchback it just unlocks doesn’t even spring up. That’s what I miss coming from an a6 with all the toys.
This reply was even funnier than the tailgating joke
Yeah the wife's Q3 is fully auto.Bigger hatch you mean. Q2 has it.
