Hi all. Anyone know if the powered tailgate is a close function only? Mine has it but the keys don't have the boot open button and it just seems to latch open as any tailgate would. But will close via the button on the inner tailgate. Is the close function only correct or have I been given a duplicate set of programmed keys (which work fine for locks abd remote doors) and it should open electrically as well? 

 

Thanks in the hope of someone knowing! 

Mine has powered tailgate I can open and close with the remote same button on remote opens and closes tailgate.

Thanks for that. The jpnz English manual I have suggests I have the incorrect key fobs as no boot function on it......will annoy the dealer who supplied for advice. 

Cheers 

This is the key fob you should have its also a smart key for keyless entry the bottom button near key ring is the tailgate button

Thanks again. Have attached the keys I have. It wasn't sold as having keyless but I'm guessing from the button on the door handle it does? Is that a right guess do you know? 

Cheers

Yes it has keyless when you press black button car opens when you walk away it automatically locks only if you got the smart key 

If you just bought it I would be asking your dealer to sort the missing smart key you should have 2 

Thanks. Will be doing that tomorrow! 

Hopefully your dealer will help, as they are expensive !

 

If not, mention that you have joined the Alphard Club as he may not wish for any adverse publicity.

May I ask who your dealer was .

Have pm'd as not wanting to do dealer a disservice as haven't contacted them yet. 

I have a 2009 which has remote boot. It will close electrically in the car, with the keyfob and with the button on the boot, but will only open electronically with the keyfob or in the car, which is strange in itself but normal. I don't know why they did not wire up the handle as they did with the rear sliding doors.

 

This is my keyfob. You can get them cheap on Aliexpress and code them, but not sure how. I am sure there is a post on here to tell you somewhere.

In that case I have no idea where to get one lol

 

Thanks both.  I can get the smart key. However, zero idea how to get it programmed or to match my own Alphard.... At least yet.  I shall persevere. 

You need toyota techstream software 

OK. A good starting point..... 

Thanks to all and drahpla on this. Smart key obtained and getting programmed this week. 

 

However, do have an issue whereby the power boot doesn't like closing. Will start but it's like a sensor is picking up an obstruction and it opens up again.  No real pattern to it. Can go down an inch and back up, or can go 30% down then back up.  Makes no difference if pressing the tailgate button briefly or longer. Same thing if using the button on the dash. It's probably closed properly 3 times out of 20 tries. 

 

It opens fine from the dash button. 

 

Is there a reset or calibration process for the power boot like for the windows or any ideas? 

 

Thanks. 

Hi folks. Anyone got any ideas ref the power boot not closing? Thanks

Hi. I am a bit late to this, but can I ask where you got the smart key and programming? I have the same key and button on my driver's door and tailgate on my 2008 series 10. I am not actually sure if my tailgate is auto as there appears to be no button in the car for this, and I do not have the fob. I'm based in Glasgow. Any guidance would be great. Seems quite a few owners have a similar issue - a mysterious black button but no fob.

Pm'd
