Hello everyone,

Since my car, an Audi A3 8L from 1998, only had central locking, I installed a pump from a newer model (from the 2001 facelift version) with integrated frequency-based control.
So far, no problem. I had the internal key blank filed down by various online retailers, and a transponder from my old (spare) key was implanted, and it seems to be working fine.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"Actual question:"
I'm considering retrofitting the "release tailgate" function (e.g., using an electric actuator) if the function is already available on the key fob.

Hat einer sowas schon gemacht, bzw. hat dafür Unterlagen (elektr. Plans?

Best regards,
