I sometimes wish I had that, but at the same time I donā€™t carry a fob and Iā€™m not sure how I feel about the sensor.

Would be nice though. Iā€™m SOOOOOOO over opening the back, closing it, and as Iā€™m walking to my door seeing my mirrors fold in. Every dang timeā€¦.. Requires using my door code to get it opened.

I just didnā€™t want to pay ? for premium but I did like this feature.

For me it was 7/10 because I was the Guinea pig but I did a write up and I think it can done in 1-1.5 hour and 5/10 difficulty.

Awesome! a great addition for folks that want the auto liftgate. It is a nice feature. How much was the kit? Where did you order it from? What was the hardest install part? Thanks for sharing.

Retails for $700; hardest part was routing cables through grommet; luckily I worked with manufacturer to redesign the location of the control module.

Definitely missing this in my life! Can you share the URL where you picked this up?

I would love this but I fear if I do get it it will end up on a shelf next to the reverse camera for my Explorer I still have not installed 2 years later.

since the 22s no longer come with this sensor is there a cheaper after market kit for the '22 models? I assume they might already have the wiring just not the actual sensor?

I would love to test out my sensor on a ā€˜22. Any one who owns a ā€˜22 in San Diego who wants me to try it??

I'm in SD waiting for a GTPE from the 1/10 build week. It is still on chip hold but I am very interested in seeing what it takes to install a foot sensor for the back. I can contact you when my car arrives.
