S3 Saloon Auto Boot

[Diggerz039]

I am new and i have made the convert from BMW to Audi. I am picking my new S3 Saloon up on Saturday and cannot wait.

I am just curious as i forgot to try it when there, does the S3 come with the auto boot lid open from key fob come as standard? Sounds petty i know ha but aswell as all the exciting things (i.e. speed and comfort etc) i like the smaller simple things too.

Thanks

Remote opening is standard / factory fitted on Saloon models.

I'm glad you asked as I've done the same!

Glad to hear it's fitted as standard!

Thanks for replying.

Yep standard on mine..When pressing the fob there is enough pressure in the gas struts to lift the boot lid...

Is this the same with the normal saloon (S-Line but not S3)?

Yes....and mine is a Sport model.

I am sure someone posted pictures of the trim boot removed to show springs not struts...

Correct, when I was poking around for dash cam wiring the other day, I believe it is sprung

Still, answers the OPs query nonetheless

Do you get the boot open switch in the door like on the A/S5 Coupe?

Always great to give your mate a smack in the face as they approach your car to put something in the boot....

In America this type of feature is basic on every car including the non-luxuries.

The last time I operated a manual opening trunk (boot) was my Mom's 1990 Passat and her Chevy Celebrity.

I think I remember reading somewhere that being able to open the trunk / boot from inside the car is a law in the USA...
