Hi all,
got a Qashqai N-Tec march 2018, NZ new.
[1]
I am shocked that a 2018 model has no button on the remote to open the boot, and no button on the dashboard either! I also have a Bluebird Sylphy 2006, which has these both options! Is there a way to open the boot on a new qashqai without actually pressing the small button above the number plate? (please don't tell me that I should've got a car with electric tailgate system...)

I found aftermarket kits (Aliexpress) to retrofit on Qashqai and get electric tailgate lifter, working from the existing remote, plus you get the sensor to open the trunk with your foot. Around NZ$620 incl postage. Did anyone had one of these installed and actually working, or heard of something like this being done successfully? Pretty sure it would invalidate the factory warranty, so I will wait another 3 years until I am looking at something like this... :-)

what the 2006 Sylphy also has and the 2018 Qashqai lacks, is the possibility to set two different positions for the driver, selectable from a switch on the driver's door. Both cars have electric adjustment for the driver, I just find it such a step backwards in many aspects with the qashqai...
