Try this...Hold the button on the rear hatch just above the license plate. Hold it till the automatic opening stops. Now you should have control. Only problem is that the hatch likes to be completely open or almost closed...finicky.

Now I haven't tried this driving yet, but would like to know the outcome. As I will eventually need to buy 8' 2x4s.

Report back.

In an effort to keep this project alive. Can't stand this feature. I also don't like how there is no way to keep your hatch halfway open. There is no hook on the hatch it self to loop a rope or bungee through.

I found these documents for the backup sensor install, that gives more details into control unit placement, buzzer placement, and even a switch of some sort.

If you manually open the hatch it will stay halfway open or anywhere you leave it. (At least mine does).

Not if the vehicle is in motion. I've done the hold the hatch open to stop the automatic opening. It's either full up or gravity takes it all the way down. I would like to secure it so that it doesn't bounce while carrying 8 foot long 2x4s.

The post refers to when the tailgate is open, hauling wood, or kayaks. The module is way up in the interior of the vehicle. Need to remove seats, and paneling to get to it. There is a volume control on it. I don't want to pry interior panels off as they never go back on the same way.
