Yes I've tried it numerous times. With the car UNLOCKED it opens. With the car LOCKED it doesn't. Apparently this is the way it's supposed to work in the UK if you DON'T have comfort access. I have a powered tailgate but not comfort access.

So does anybody know how to code this to work when the car is locked?

Have also discovered another function with the tailgate which I'd didn't read anywhere else. If the tailgate is open, you can close it with the remote button but only by holding the button down. If you release the button the tailgate stops closing. Again it would be useful to be able to close by just having to press the button for a couple of seconds.

Sounds like no one knows the coding change to alter this.
