Re: Q5 Comfort Hatch by Kufatec
So I tried the hatch thing and it didn't work for me.
Firstly the central lock was "on" in the MMI:
- Car locked, used remote opened hatch, double lock didn't close it.
- Car unlocked, used remote open hatch, double lock didn't close it.
- From inside the car, with car locked, used car button, opened hatch, used remote to close, no luck.
- From inside the car, with car unlocked, used car button, opened hatch, used remote to close, no luck.
I did ALL the above with central lock "off" from the MMI no luck.
My car is a 2010, Aug 2009 built. Premium, with Navi, Tech and B&O. I have no clue why it's not working.

I found the below URL to another forum. I haven't a clue how yours is closing with the remote, this is not default out of factory:
Rear hatch close with remote? - AudiWorld Forums
I am thinking of getting the Vag-Com cable and software and to some minor tweaking but I really don't want mock around with these things too much.

What didn't you understand in all of the links and information I posted in this thread? This is a module you have to buy and install from a company called Kufatec.

Easy there friend, why such condescending reply? It's not that I didn't "understand". The thread didn't start off talking about the module. It wasn't until the 6th or 7th point where the module was mentioned. I didn't pay attention to the title of the tread either, I saw your video (which didn't talk about the module, then I logged in and replied without reading everything in between (where the model was mention). The tread was moved to a seond page by-passing the talk about the module so it's pretty easy to miss.
Thanks anyways.

Re: Q5 Comfort Hatch by Kufatec
For some unknown reason they use the same 33801 part number for all of the Audi comfort hatch modules. If you have a Q5, the one you need is the one I posted above for the Q5. Even though they have the same part number, use the same plastic "box" and harness, each unit has different software coding for the different model cars.
Have a look in the "Notes" on the german Kufatec site. The module for the Q5 reads:
The Q5 uses HW v2.2 / SW v1.48 and is the only model they list specific software for. I was sent the first one in June (in the picture below.) It was HW v2.2 / SW v1.44 and it DID NOT WORK. I received a replacement in September that was SW v1.47 and it also did not work. It finally worked when I plugged in the third one that I received two days ago with SW v1.48.
It would seem that Kufatec USA isn't stocking the part for the Q5. When I first ordered it they had to add it to their site. I'm guessing I was a bit of a PITA and they wanted to get the issues with mine worked out before selling any more? I have emailed them to let them know that this version finally works. I'm sure if you contact them they will order you one. One a side note, Kufatec USA is at the same address as OEMPLUS.com. If you've ever ordered from them before, they are super easy to deal with.

I notice Kufatec USA now has the correct module on their website, however it is currently on backorder as I have had an order with them for this module for 4 weeks now.

I'm not sure yet as I haven't received my module, and I don't know if it includes instructions or not. But according to Tony (Regina_TTS) its easy to wire in:
