2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Java Black

Rear door opening with LR button on keyfob

When I collected the car I was able to release the tailgate with teh LR key - it was the preset option for both keys.

For some strange reason best known to itself it seems to have changed to only release the upper glass section now on both keys.

I can only imagine a fault in the door mechanism is causing it and cant see anything in the manual about how to configure it to release the tailgate anway ....

Does anyone know how to set this up from scratch ? I would like to reconfigure one remote to see if it works

Thanks

Aren't the instructions for the third button all in the manual? I seem to recall they are.

I just used mine for the lights, accidentally opening any of the tailgates was just plain annoying.

As Shmoogle would say... RTFM!

Press the third button on the key fob then keeping it pressed, press the lower boot button on the tailgate and hey presto, re-set.

Sorry for that one chaps ..... I did read the manual and know how to do the lights and raise/lower suspension.......but must have missed the tailgate option. Will check again when I get home

Mine keeps resetting itself from opening the tailgate to opening the tailglass too... have given up reprogramming it and just use the button to open the Tailgate now... bit disappointing to be honest! 2008 TDV6 WHITE/EBONY

2nd Rower - I have a 08 TDV8 (purchased 12/07) and never realised that you could open the tailgate with the keyfob. Can't see it in the manual and was never told by the salesguy. It certainly is a feature that i would like to use but thought it was not available on Aussie spec Sports. Can you explain how to set?

I think this happens when you share the car with the wife or you are using both sets of keys, i have found that when the wife has been out in the car with her key and then i get back in using my key the settings don't always revert back. Speed Limits! not where I live!

We share one key and the RRS still gets upset at times and loses it's mind

Thanks Steve, but I do not have a wife (i.e. don't share the car with anyone) and the second key is safely with all my other spare keys and never comes near the car on a day to day basis. It just resets itself! 2008 TDV6 WHITE/EBONY

It is in the manual and it is standard on Aussie spec cars

My last UK car was a Boxster S and it had two buttons on the key fob in addition to the main lock / unlock functions. One opened the front boot and one opened the rear boot. Would be great if LR did a similar thing and had seperate buttons on the key fob for opening the tail gate and the tail glass.

Then again, would prefer if LR actually gave us a tailgate like the FFRR!!!!! But that's another thread! 2008 TDV6 WHITE/EBONY

It can also can happen that there is a faulty catch - I hd mine stop opening the tailgate and I could not programme either key to operate the full tailgate. dealer fixed it, said there was a mechanical fault.
