Please help me how to add the problem that i can open the back trunk with the key-entry.
How much does it cost?

thanks so much all.

It would not be "easy", but anything is doable for a seasoned installer. The liftgate has a mechanical opening mechanism. The "locking" mechanism is electronic....but let me make sure I understand what you are asking.

You want the hatch to raise up at the push of a button? A good installer can make it happen, but it will be a custom job (high cost). Plus it will be a challenge to get the factory key fob to accommodate that function.

If I had to take a guess on cost, I would say $600. You should talk to your local stereo/alarm installers and see what they think..

Thanks so much. I think that cost too much for me. Anyway I will check with Arlarmshop over the weekeed.

Thank you again

Or you could buy the Lexus instead. I thought it was kind of a silly option but to each their own. Or is that not what you were asking ?

On a recent trip to Lancaster, PA with my wife I saw this in action on an RX330. Not only was it raised with the push of a button but it lowered too. About as useful as headlight wipers but to each his own as you said.

I take that back. I guess there could be some physical limitations involved that would make it a necessary option. Maybe that's the thinking behind those third row electric seat backs on the Expedition. But other than a driver height issue, I guess I would question the ability to drive and make an evasive maneuver if that were the case.

It might have been useful to have it for my wife since she is quite pregnant now and closing the door takes some effort. Otherwise, its not a huge deal.

A cheap remote could be a long stick with a hook at the end of it so you could open it from a distance. Just place the hook where the latch is and pull. Remote opener :2:

Headlight wipers/washers are actually great if you live in a cold/snowy area. Having owned SAABs before getting my MDX, this is one of the SAAB features I miss the most.
