Neither remote transmitter will open the boot. Boot release button inside works, boot release button by the license plate light works, but neither fob works.

Manual just says press the button to release.

Is there something simple I am missing?

 

Press it twice in rapid succession; it will then unlatch.

 

^^^ this. Also, what year is the car?

 

2006.

I tried the double click when I saw reference to it somewhere online, but I'll give it another shot.

Thanks

 

hold it down for a couple of seconds each time, do it twice in a row

 

And don't expect the boot lid to actually "open". The gas struts just aren't strong enough to do that.

 

No joy.

If locked, the boot release flashes the lights twice and turns the interior lights on like I am unlocking the car yet everything stays locked.

If unlocked, the boot release does nothing, whether pressed once, twice, couple seconds twice.....

 

IIRC, Boot release does not work on 2006MY and earlier cars.

 

Works on my Feb 2006 DB9.
