Has anyone been able to use the motion detector to pop the front trunk? I’ve only had it work when I was waxing the hood and bumper!!

Yes, it works, but usually after waving back and forth and up and down about five or ten times.

I know. But you end up looking ridiculous! At that point hitting the button on the key fob is easier and less silly looking.

I haven't had a problem making it work - just a simple swipe down, touching the car... but I have also had it open when washing the car.

Yup....same for me. When the car is in my garage, it does not work. Once outside it works but can be temperamental. My dealer is aware and they are escalating the issue.
