4 Button Key Fob - Rear Hatch

[Port]

SO i ordered a set of the key fobs linked to see if i would be able to program the latch to the fobs. On my last R50 and when i got this one, the keys i had only had the 3 button fob but also had the hatch pull latch in the door.

 

I programed the fobs for lock and unlock, tested and they worked fine. at that point i tested to see if the hatch would open from the fob but no luck. i could hear a relay toggle when i pressed it but not sure what it was, sounded kind of like the blinker relay but the blinkers/hazards didn't flash.

 

At that point, i figured id give something a try. I followed the same programming sequence but instead of pressing the lock button on the fob to program it, i pressed the hatch button on the fob. The fob still lock s and unlocks, it still does not open the hatch but, it also no longer makes the relay noise i was hearing at first.

 

So the 4th button is/was communicating with something

 

Has anyone/is it possible to program the key fob to open the rear glass hatch?

The fob can't be used to open the rear glass hatch.  The keyless entry system doesn't support it.

 

Both of my fobs are non-OE 3-button, but both circuit chips have 4 buttons.  The hidden 4th button on mine sets off the panic mode.

Ditto - though only USDM ‘03 & ‘04 Pathfinders have the remote hatch release anyway. It existed earlier in the QX4 (how much earlier I’m uncertain but I know the ‘02s had it). I’m told you can retrofit the remote release. [mention=32880]ferrariowner123[/mention] did it to his ‘96 & kindly gave me an excess harness for it years ago - I have yet to get around to it.

This topic has reminded me that my knock-off fob case is due for replacement.  It's such a knock-off that it says "Calsonis Kansel" instead of the actual OEM company Calsonic Kansei.
