I spoke to somebody today who confirmed it is software only but the can bus system is hard to tap into and change ?!?

Does anybody know if this is just software related or is it hardware? I can not see any difference in the hardware specs from 2013 to 2018 for the tailgate and a few others I have spoken to seem to think it is software only. Will have to get to the bottom of this as it driving me nuts thin king about it !!! CURRENT :

Im glad I found this as my 13MY will only open the upper tailgate and I thought the dealer was telling me porkies! 😆 |

My understanding is the canbus language is older on early cars and a canbus message to open both tailgates from the key was never produced…

Thanks Martin that’s what I thought. But supershuttle says his 13MY key fob opens both 🤷♂️ |

But not if you've disabled keyless as I have as that knocks out gesture tailgate too. |
