I think you have to go to the dealer and update I-drive,without update I doubt that the auto-trunk will work.

I thought so.

Could you please tell me is there any electrical wiring must be done or the above parts should be enough?

Well, I know so far that in my footrest I have a button with whose help I can open the trunk, it sits directly above the hood opener lever.
But I don't know if you must have this button in order to install the auto-function.

By the way: you need not only the compressor, but also the arm to lift the trunk..


bye,ivano

This is one feature that I wish that I had on my E61.

Looks like a trunk monkey actuator. Be damn careful!

Same here, been looking to add this as an upgrade but everybody seems to advise strongly against it...

I think that this retrofit is cost prohibitive.

For now, I am just trying NOT to open the door too far and ruin all of those expensive wires...
