Open trunk hatch by key ('11 Fabia combi 1,2)
Hey folks,
The car key has a built in button to open trunk - it does open it by clicking it, but it does not open automatically.
I know it's normally a pretty expensive feature to have - yet just opening it without sliding up seems pointless.
I asked a friend of mine regarding this and he said that mechanics would be able to make the trunk open when clicking on the key.
TL;DR: Can I make my '11 Fabia open the trunk with a key press? The opening function is already there, but it doesn't do anything else. Without being batshit expensive.
It's nice, but no necessity.

I find this useful if I'm popping back to my car to put things in the boot, say when I'm doing a lot of shopping.
I've got a 2016 Fabia, clicking the button on the remote unlocks the boot and holding it releases the boot lid but it dosen't open fully. It's worth noting that after you close the boot it automatically locks again.
I've got an 06 Fabia that does the same - except I never realised that a single press would unlock it - thank you :)
edit: op: seems like there's aftermarket options that aren't too expensive: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GB-Tuning-Automatic-Installation-Instructions/dp/B07K34VSM7
Ah okay - assuming it's some sort of hydraulic pushing open the boot?
If so, won't you be able to install it yourself / or a mechanic?
