Does anyone else have trouble getting the rear hatch to respond using the Key button?
I have to press it maybe 10 times in all directions before it works.

Remote requires that You press button at least half second. quick push do not respond.

Maybe this "feature" is made for purpose: to avoid unwanted openings when handing key.

don't hold it down for too long tho, pressing any of the buttons for 2 seconds sets off the panic feature.....another annoying thing about our beloved e60's, the trunk button on the key fob...

I usually push the hatch release and count one one thousand and release. Seems to work every time and I haven't set off the alarm for over a year now.
