I disabled gesture tailgate on mine not because I struggled to get it to reliably recognise my foot, although it was a pain, but because once I managed to set it off by mistake and it hit me on the bonce!

I used to have that problem with my Superb .. that and occasionally coming back to the car to find the boot wide open!

2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Santorini Black

I was more after the ability to power close than open. Seems like more cost than its probably worth really. Got plenty of other items higher on the list!

2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Fuji White

Unfortunately LR didn’t design the boot with remote close, it required the pressing of the button on the boot which was a missed opportunity in my opinion. They could have had the gesture closing boot well ahead of their competitors! I bought a gadget off eBay which means I can close it from the key fob or the dash button and I reckon it would be easy to retrofit a gesture closure sensor. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Hi Brit, care to elaborate on your remote close setup?

I'm surprised with the 2012 tailgate retrofit being so popular there isn't more info on getting the button close wired up. I've got some wiring and a connector sat there taped up in the void. Frustrating.
