Thank you for following up and thanks also to the OP for bringing this to the forum! I’ve been following this thread for some time. Most people’s comments have been positive. Can others please confirm the module continues to work as expected after some “real world” testing?
I see this module is still available on AliExpress. I’d love to have hatch closing functionality from the FOB! @FIRST_PORSCHE are you still around to help with install questions for those of us that might pull the trigger?

Just to update this: The seller suggested that I wasn't closing one of the connectors fully and it wasn't making a connection. He was right! All working perfectly now so thanks for the help and suggestions.
I also installed my dashcam today, integrated with the trim in front of the rearview mirror and a second camera on the rear window. The dome light and overhead console is a pain to remove and to reinstall but I got it all done in a couple of hours. I routed the cable for the rear cam through the headliner at the windscreen, down the a pillar, out to the rubber weather seal in the door, back in along the seam under the seatbelt height adjustment, along the rear door weather seal and again under the trim beside the rear headrest and into the upper weather seal on the tailgate. It's very neat with the only visible wire being a bit of slack between the camera and the weather seal on the tailgate. It's a FitcamX model. Looks good so far from the little test footage I've checked on my phone.

I liked the dash cam because of how it is pretty incognito and it's possible to have the wires pretty much completely hidden (the only place you'll see it is at the rear camera if you go for that option). I got this one: FitcamX for Panamera
I got some footage of a van cutting me off today, I only rendered it in 1080 but the front camera is 4k.
I was a little distracted as I was skipping through a podcast using the multifunction button on the steering wheel. I didn't see the van indicating, but no excuse for him to just pull in to the lane I was in.
I wouldn't normally listen to podcasts in the car but since I installed the camera my FM reception is terrible. I'm guessing the interference may be from the rear camera mounted to the rear screen. Is the aerial in the rear glass? If not that I may have unplugged something in the tailgate by accident, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know! I'm going to try playing around with the placement of the rear camera first anyway.

Thank you! I’ll probably pull the trigger and order. No longer available on Amazon so will order from AliExpress. I’ll reach out if any install issues. Thanks again!

Also, how did you find out about all these “extra” functions (eg. push button 6 times…)? Does it come with instructions explaining all these things?
Thanks!
